Barrel blow-up follow-up
24/02/18 06:40 AM

Well.

As many of you all know I experienced af barrel burst last year using Hornady factory ammunition. The final outcome in regards to an actual lawsuit ended up with me not filling lawsuit against my gunmaker who sold me the ammunition. I directed a lawsuit against the importers, but they turned it against my friend(gunmarker). I had made up mine mind already before a lawsuit I would never turn against my friend so I ate the bill and had Peter Hambrusch, Ferlach to make me a new set of chopperlumps, cutrifled barrels, 26".

I have spoke in the meantime with different people i regards to a barrelburst. The short story is metal fatique over the years. Peter Hambrusch was of that opinion after seeing quite a few english doubles in for rebarreling the old nitroproved doublerifle don´t meet CIP rifling standards.

What I know today is this. I would much rather buy a blackpowder express doublerifle from 1888 using light lowpressure nitro loads and lead bullets, than buying a nitro doublerifle from(lets say) 1906 and use modern ammunition. Even though the old BPE rifle also experience metal fatique, a lead bullet with blackpowder or light nitro load has less chance to stress the metal.

With this new set of barrels I can shoot any modern projectiles frome Speer, Hornadys, Barnes, GS Custom, etc etc. I never have to worry about what to feed the rifle. The total cost for the rifle including a new set of barrels is aprox $22000.

Here is the result of Peter Hambrusch work. Enjoy.
