Swivel-breech rifle
« on: August 05, 2020, 11:36:45 AM »
A few years ago, a bunch of swivel-breech rifle parts was found in an old warehouse; I bought a box of those parts. I made this rifle from some of them.

It's a bit heavy. I will weigh it tomorrow. Let's just say I wouldn't want to carry it very far in the woods.

Yes, I had wanted one of Day's rifles some time ago, but they were a but out of reach at that time.
