    Matchlock barrels

    Matchlocks are becoming more interesting to me and I am thinking about a build. I have an old, tapered, round .58 smoothbore that I am restoring and was thinking about using it. It is 33 inches long. Would this work for a matchlock styled gun or should I just find a full octagon in 50 or larger...

    Moved this question over from the Smoothbore section. Today at 8:48 AM I picked up a really old French flintlock smoothbore/fowler type tapered barrel with a flat filed across the top ( neat old barrel) that is around 36 inches long. It has the typical rust in and on barrel so I soaked it in...

It has a little curly tip on the end that sits up against the plate and will not fit. It looks like it could be modified (filed) down to...

    Modern shotgun barrel conversion

    Wondering if anyone has built a smoothbore out of a modern shotgun barrel 12 or 20 gauge? Don't know how the modern steel and wall thickness would work. Just curious because I'm sure someone has tried it. Input please.
