Runar:  I think we all learn from you with each gun to build.  I'm sure glad that Rolf convinced you to join our group.  Where are you guys in Norway in case we want to come and visit?
mvh

Runar asked me to answer. I bought a used 20mm Vulcan cannon barrel from a F14 Tomcat fighter on an internet auction. Dennis kindly cut it into four 12.5” sections and mailed to them to Runar, who turned the barrels. You can se the process here. http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=28822.0

Best regards
Rolf

God dag Nordmann! Hawai'i var praktfull. Du vil gjerne gå neste tid? Din stempel er praktfull og jeg er misunnelig.  Mvh
