I just sent another one to Jack for another conversion!I like it that much!Maybe a 2" 500 Smith this time(or 1"!)?!

Nasty! Have you shot it yet, Tom?

From the looks of the ring on the cylinder he has shot it...can we get pics or a video of it?

Have not shot it yet,but will soon and will post a video here of me "setting it off"!!

I'm sure it was shot by someone at J. Huntington's prior to shipping it out.......

Looks like a handful...

Looking like a distant cousin to the ol' pepperboxes ~ but much more gnarley

That is an awsome looking beast.
When you shoot it could you chrono the loads? It would be interesting to see what velocity is obtainable in the short barrel.
How much does she weigh?

Holy powder magazines Batman!

I'm sorry, I don't think you could pay me enough to touch that thing off!

On the other hand, I'll gladly cheer you on!

I want to see a night time video of that thing going off!

Yes, it's been shot! Everyone in the shop drew straws to see who got the short end of the stick. Jason, who built most of it was the unlcky one of us. I was gone the morning he test fired it. He said the biggest supprise other than the expected recoil was how much torque/twist it has. Tom, hold on it's a ride!

I would loooooove to shoot it.

:O

Maybe before you shoot it off you should tie a rope from the trigger ring to your foot so it doesn’t end up in space from the recoil….

Shot it the other day guys,she is like a buckn' bronco!Didnt have the camera,but will do that real soon on video and post it here..day and night so we can see the flash/flames!..A friend shot it too and damn if it didnt get him in the head and then land in the dirt!!Though it wasnt something to laugh at,we all couldnt stop,including him.Said it was his first time he ever been "pistolwhipped"!

So, it has already creased one forehead!! I'll bet it will claim many more!

Tom, what load? How bad did your friend get gonged...I'll report it back to Jack and Jason.

How does it balance? Does it feel good holding offhand?
Also how much does it weigh?

I'd be interested in what kind of velocities you are getting with what loads. If you get a chance.

Great looking piece BTW.

I was just looking at the pics of it again and had a thought.

Do you guys remember the Highpowers that had the adjustable rear sight like the military rifles have? I think maybe it was on the model that came with the buttstock.

I think that might look cool. If you're going to be shooting 500-600gn slugs capable of traveling to 1000 yds, why not have a sight to go along with it?

It's late, so you can just ignore this if you want.

Just got back from the Linebaugh Seminar and some of the guys there were incredible shots! The first day at the range, they warmed up on the Buff target at 1000 yds. You'd be suprised at how much dust got kicked up on it if not hit.

I need more range time. lol

Lar -- don't forget to post a report on the seminar -- please!!

It balance's very well and it does feel realllly good in the hand(till it goes off)On my postal digital,53 ounces.I was shooting some 525s that come out of a 1886 at 2100,so I dont know what they will chrony?...My ole bud was well warned,but to many crawdads,a beer or two and Big balls,just had to show all who was boss.till the front sight nabbed him on his forehead by the hairline,then the blood flowed like a river!...I then shot it,no problem,but they said it jumped back a good ways...I just need to video it and will do by the weekend!.....LAR,look forward to hearing a report too,anything new from previous shoots?

This was my first seminar so I don't know what went on at the others. I've got some pics to download and sort, then will start a thread on it. I don't have all the details on the penetration tests, but did get to check several of the different 454 bullets for penetration and also shot them out to 800 yds to see if they were still stable at longer ranges.
I just got a call to go fix BB guns at a cubscout daycamp, so I'll have to write more later.

Thanks Lar -- looking forward to your report!
