Allen Breech reshape?
« on: March 23, 2015, 10:56:29 PM »
Any suggestions on the best way to handle this breech area. I decided to go with an Allen breech but since it's for a Vincent rifle i don't think it would look right left as is. Continue the barrel flat back and remove to tabs on the breech?

Windjon, There were MANY Ohio rifles made with that type of breech, it is actually stronger and better than the drum set up. The drum was just the easiest and cheapest way to go. I would use it as is.  Did any of the Vincents ever use that type? Don't know.....Ed
