Just beautiful, have you discharged it yet?
One caliber, is that a 1 inch ball?
No I haven't discharged it. Yes 1 inch ball (4oz) which if you think back to Pulp Fiction when they are discussing what a 1/4 pounder is called in europe due to the metric system it's a royal with cheese. This is a Royal, no cheese.
Good gosh, man, that thing is stupendous. Where did you get the parts and the gorgeous barrel?
The lock is rough castings from the Rifle Shoppe. The barrel was a prop shaft from an old sunk boat I machined. The stock was a block of walnut from PA I attacked with an angle grinder.
Thats really great!
Dud you buy a kit or where can one get parts for that?
No kit, just reproduced from pictures of originals and built by myself from scratch aside from the mentioned lock.
 
Translation on the muzzle roughly is "fire from an angry king"
