Thats cool Lenn !!  But you aint gettin off that easy .........details my friend details   

[Roaring Bull]

I WANT ONE!!


Seriously, Lenn that is really really cool!

[Pitchy]

Thanks Frank and RB, wont be making anymore for a while anyway.
The barrel is solid one inch across the flats that i drilled six inch for the bore.
I then welded a three inch piece of tubing on to the end for the tiller to go into.
Vent is 3/16 and pan 3/8th.
Tiller is 45 inch long and was made from a heave broom handle, lever is 25 inches long under the tiller and about six inch above.
The bolt for the tiller also holds the lever in place.
Think that`s about it.

Thanks Lenn, Im gonna hafta make one !

[Pitchy]

I loaded it with 40 grains of FFF and it had a pretty good kick to it.
As usual it blew the match clear out of the serpentine.

That is nice Lenn! You gonna use that for our Dec. shoot? Hey! That's not a bad idea...a shoot for hand gonnes!!

[Pitchy]

Thanks Ned, if i used the gonne for a shoot i`d lose for sure.

[Roaring Bull]

lenn, you may have the only one on here.........can't lose that way!!

[Dryball]

Not if everyone used one! Now you must get some more members involved so we can have a shoot for these types of guns.
