Its a .54 cal Getz Barrel that I coned so the fancy filing has nothing to do with anything but looks the way it looks. :winking:

Now the ramrod is the cool thing its .495 at the large end of the flare instead of a straight 3/8's rod. :grin:

[RC]

SEE! Itold ya gotta watch these guys...they purdy up the muzzle so ya DON'T pay attention to the trick ramrod!!!!!! pretty clever...OR they jes want ya ta think that and the muzzle cuttin actually increases the ball spin and the velocity makin the ball ..................yep! that's it! huh? :surrender: i had ta ask :shake: RC

Now get back to work! :grin:

 

[gonzomann]

Nice work! Can't wait to hear how she shoots..... Whatta cone job!

 

[silverfox]

I was a wondering about the muzzle myself. It sure looks pretty but was wondering about it catching and cutting patches at loading. Then he says it's coned, well that should make loading without catching the patch material easy. Makes sense and a good looking muzzle now.
Nice gun.
Fox :hatsoff:

 

[Java Man]

I imagine I will need to use precut patches. And thumb start them rather easily. Then one short hard shove with the ramrod, followed by an easy push to the breech. I plan to try .535rb's and #40 drill to start.

 

[Roy]

Thanks guys :thumbsup: It should be a tack driver. :grin:
