Yesterday I recieved the ballgun back from the gunmakers. The firingpins both have new returnsprings installed. However, I have here today polished the barrels to a mirrorfinish, and it is very clear that the muzzles are oval aprox. 2.5" down from the muzzle. The ovalness are actually seen best from the chamber-end(breech). It plays a trick to the eye, but knowing what to look for, its clear these barrel have an oval muzzle. Further more I have one paradox bullet which fits perfect in the barrels.With a slight pressure of maybe 5-6Ibs, the ball can be pushed to about 2.5" before exiting the muzzle. The last 2.5" I can not push any further without a hammerforce( which I haven`t done ofcouse).
I have ordered just 1 box of paradox ammunition at H&H. They have charged me £62, where Lewis & Drakes, Kentucky takes only $35 in the US..(Oh well,take it or leave it:LOL). I friend of mine takes them home to me here this summer, so I can try out factory ammunition, before investing in complete set-up for do-it-your-self paradox ammo kit.
My paradox bullet measure .7345".
The barrels are prooved after 1904( it has the scimitar), and nowhere can I find anything that indicate the this gun can shoot paradox ammo. The barrels are definatly heavier than normal shotgunbarrels + it states "for ball".
I wonder if were normal to make an oval rifle muzzle if the gun were designed to shoot roundballs only?
