How do you know it wasn't bored out? Have you tried chambering a shell, and found that it didn't fit? Is the breech end inside diameter of the barrels the same diameter as that of the bores? Or is there no recess for the rim of the shell? Or is it simply that you cannot see a step at the end of the chamber which might indicate that the forcing cone has been reamed out to a very gradual taper?

If it is the latter, you may want to get those barrels measured for thickness at the end of the chambers before you bother with all the work of restocking the gun.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Hey Keith. Hmmmm, it's not 1 or 3. I can say with certainty that there is no step at the end of the chamber. How would one determine if it's 2 or 4? Wouldn't they look the same?

Colin Stolzer has videos on YouTube that completely document the process of building a double barrel Purdey style 10 bore. It's a muzzle-loading gun, and it uses side locks. If you still need some insight google video series "10 Bore 1844 Purdey Double Rifle". He has the whole inletting process explained, and recorded. It was a huge help to me.

In response to Keith's questions. I took a closer look at the barrels. While the majority of the barrels look good, the area that would be considered the chamber have either buildup of something or corrosion. Need to clean that are up. In looking at the barrels, I can see that there is a taper and no step at the end of the chamber. If I run a steel rule in, it appears to be flat for about 2 15/16" and then a taper starts which runs out to the bore diameter at about 3 1/4".

More later, I'm sure.

So been working on the practice stock off and on, probably more off. Seems there's plenty of stuff going on that keeps getting in the way. Think I might have too many hobbies. However I've been keeping my eyes open for a stock blank to use when I'm finally ready. I got to thinking about a bunch of walnut blanks my uncle had many years ago. Not sure where he got them but he was using them for caricature carving. He has since passed but talked to my cousin to see if he had any of them. Turns out he did and at least in my opinion not too bad. Need to make sure I don't screw it up. Comments/opinions welcome.
