This is a Facebook video which may not be view able by some. It shows how they mate the barrels and fit the parts!

Very nice!
Especially as they are using 19th century tech.

Forgive me for my ignorance but I thought chopper-lump barrels were supposed to be forged with the rough half-lumps already on them. I would like to know what is superior in the method shown there over a monobloc.

When do they regulate? Before the soldering that they showed? Before the chopper lump construction?

Very cool. Imagine what they could do if somebody gave them a CNC machine a dremel tool and maybe an injection mold to make black plastic stocks! popcorn

If you watch near the 40sec mark you will see that the lump halves are integral to the barrel.

As to the benefits of chopperlump and shoelump construction you have the aesthetic pros of not having a seam. The other benefits to chopperlump and shoelump is you can maintain adequate wall thickness while getting the barrels closer together at the breach over monoblock construction. The difference is small, but nonetheless if you do your part you can achieve a slightly smaller action that is slightly lighter. Structurally/strength wise if done correctly they are all adequate.

Regulation is always done after the barrels are constructed and ribs laid. Likewise the gun also has to be past the stocking phase. Regulation comes just before final polishing and finishing.

That video was about making shotguns I think. The polishing of the bore and the straight grip stock seem to indicate that.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, I was beguiled by the unexplained work on belled ends shown at the beginning.

Appears to be a complete build cycle.
I worked in a shop with tool and die makers, and was always amazed at their expertise. Most masters could make any part with a blank and a set of files. In fact, at the shop where I worked, a person had to prove himself with files before being allowed to progress to using machines.
