My "New" 20 Gauge Rifle Rolling Block
      22/05/17 11:29 AM

Back last fall I purchased a pretty nice Remington Rolling Block 20 gauge shotgun with a project in mind. A few inquiries took me to a fine mostly muzzleloader gunsmith in PA who makes lots of barrels. He indicated that he could certainly rifle the bore, so I sent it to him. He is a busy guy, so it took about 6 months, which was OK because I moved and started a new job in another state.

So I got it back and now I need some ca. .645 round balls to load in brass shells. Rifling is a pretty shallow, slow twist, like some of the side by side gauge guns I have seen. Gun has no sights, just the dovetails I had cut. I have lots of sights kicking around and will probably mount fixed front and rear sights, since this will be a 50 yard woods gun with typical minute of moose accuracy needed.
