NIIICE ! I always thought those were so cool !

That is pretty cool. Tell us about the build process. Did you make everything yourself or buy parts?

I had a 20 gauge barrel from another project, but everything else was made from scraps in my shop.

Here is a link to my Facebook album on the construction of it. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...&id=1380330717

Very nice work!

Do you belong to a ECW group or just wanted to build a very early firearm?

**rifleshooter2** · March 8th, 2018, 07:12 PM

Thanks. I just like old guns

That is very cool. I bet that'll be fun to shoot.

Since I don't have facebook, can you tell about the barrel? Manufacturer, length, diameter, etc..

The barrel is a Sharron barrel. I've had it laying around for years. Its .62 caliber 32 inches long. I flared the muzzle for looks.
