Good afternoon. I slugged the bore and it measures .318, as suspected. Question regarding chamber casting. How do you avoid the potential problem of the molten cerrosafe running into the extractor and other possible crevices as I fill the chamber cast to the to of the rim surface?

Hello Forum Members. I was able to do a chamber casting today. Based on the casting measurements and the research I did, it appears the gun is chambered for the 8x58R Sauer cartridge. I have attached 2 pics of the chamber casting. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. BillK

Thank you Mike. Cerrosafe was indeed very easy to work with. This was my first time doing a chamber cast and it was a breeze doing it after watching a few YouTube videos. The lead I used to slug the barrel is a fishing lead weight the had the shape of a bullet and it worked perfectly. Now I have to either find loaded ammo or cases and figure out the rest. BillK

I have been doing a lot of research and have been looking at a lot of photos of combination guns (and drillings) and I have not come across in any other ones exhibiting a straight/English stock and scroll engraving like mine. Does that make it a bit unusual? Makes me wonder who the original owner was. What is your experience on that? BillK
