Re: Building a big bore

Sorry- no number for Bil Moody. I just finished talking to Joe, an Oregon barrel maker, who will make me whtever twist I want, and whatever depth desired.
; As his cutter is rounded, I expect a 13 or 14 bore barrel with .005 or .006" deep rounded rilfing, at 112" on a 28" barrel should answer well for the barrel. 1- 1/4" breech, tapered to 1-1/8" muzzle and 9 rto 9 1/2lbs weight will be perfect.
: www.trackofthewolf.com has all the other parts necesary, from a good English-style Davis lock with proper hammer, to English breech plug, rib, stock wood, ramrod pipes - all the necessary parts. The large non-inlet English Fowler blank should work just fine.
; Track also has 2 sets of plans. The Egnoish Rifle pans, and the Purdey plans. Believe me when I say the Purdey has a rather thin wrist. The picture doesn't show it, but it is very narrow, side to side, in comparrison. A heavy gun should be made slightly heavier than a deer rifle.
: The rifle pitured below, was made from the Engish Rifle plans and is a 14 bore rifle with 30" bl. The wood is from a California english/claro blank. The rear sight is a single standing point blank sight with 3 hinged leafs. The front sight is a 1/16" bead tapered bronze rod soldered to an iron base. The point blank sights are low to the barrel, giving a point blank range of 120yards, where the ball is only up to 1-1/2" above or below the line of sight. It is a very flat shooting rifle & perhaps the ultimate for hunting in N.America and in India. It's effective range on animals as large as moose or elk, would easily be 200yard plus, if charged accordingly, however if one is a good hunter, shots past 100 yards are not necessary. It is better learn to hunt well, than to have to track a wounded animal. Animals shot with these large bores, seldom,if ever, have to be tracked.
