Pistol ideas
« on: February 16, 2012, 03:44:38 AM »
 Hey Gents,
  I acquired a nice looking pistol barrel about 8 inches long,octagon to round tapered to a cannon type muzzle. I think Taylor said it was a Green Mtn. It has very narrow lands with large (wide) grooves.
  Can anyone please show me their builds or others builds that use this type of barrel? Looking for some ideas,thanks guys! Roy

   Take a look a www.firelockpistols.com   Chris Atland shows a number of nice pistols there using your type of barrel.  If you got your tax refund you can order the silver mounted parts sets....

Mark Wheland built the silver mounted Beck pistol shown in chris' site.  It was at the Lewisburg show a year or two ago...

This started as one of those silver Beck kits.  Saved the silver mounts for a peice of stump burl wood I've got that's pretty fancy, here I used the stock, barrel and lock from the kit and put brass mounts with it for a Maryland styling.  Actually just started on the silver one, got a .54 swamped oct/rd to go with that, wanted the .54 to go with my hunting rifle as a backup shot.
