Double rifle project, calibre 9.3x74R
04/07/11 12:15 PM

After a search of months, I finally found a BRNO Model ZP-47 in 16 gauge, as a host gun for my new double rifle build. The gun had been badly neglected, including a lot of pitting to most all of the steel surfaces. This has necessitated the wearing out of a lot of stones, emery paper, and a few finger tips. Here are a few shots of where I am with it.

I have re-finished the stocks, stained them English red, re-cut the checkering, and added a 1 1/2" Silvers-style pad. There are about 20 coats of TruOil on it now. It needs to hang for about another month to ensure that the oil is good and hard, then a final rub-out with linseed oil and pumice.

Here are the stubs of the barrels, fresh off the milling machine. The bores have been machined out to 0.780", then threaded 13/16-32 TPI.

Here is the new extractor plate and the new extractor rod, fitted into place and ready to be micro-TIG welded together, then faced off and stoned to final dimension.

Here are three shots of the action, from various angles, showing the result of about 30 hours of stoning and polishing.

More to come as this project goes along. Unfortunately, due to a blocked sewer, our basement flooded on Friday night. So the place is full of insurance adjusters, cleaners, and contractors, and my shop will be unuseable for a bit!

By the way, the 12 gauge BRNO ZP-49, that I built my .450 #2 NE on, is serial-numbered 40165, built in 1963. If you look at the photos above, you'll note that the serial number of this gun is 40166, built in 1959.What are the odds of buying two different guns, in two different gauges, from two different sources, about 10 years apart, and having them consecutively serial numbered? I wonder if I'll be entitled to call them a "true pair"?
