Slug gun project - Kenl - 01-30-2014
I recently posted that I had purchased a BP slug gun that was built around 1983. The barrel appears tp great condition. I have decided to cut off the breech wend and redo
It. I am making a new receiver and underhammer action for it. Thought I would post some pictures of the project for those interested. Mods if this is not ok please let me know. First picture is what it was when I purchased it. [attachment=253][attachment=254][attachment=255]
