Will start with 80 grains of 3ff. Better than .5 inch of wall 4140 steel.
Could use smokeless, but I like the smoke pop of BP. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for looking. Not sure of the scale. The barrel is 14" long and if you look close, you will see a 7.62x39 round for reference.

What did you use for plans ?

This is my own design. I wanted something different than the norms.
Have not fired it yet, so we shall see if it has merit. I like designing tools and the rest.
Was going to build a steam engine, but this seem like more fun. Thanks for asking.

Maybe a video of your first shot? I'd really like that. Include a shot of any neighbors' faces?
