Thanks mate, its a bloody interesting bit of hardware, and the lack of a rim has me intrigued.

Any chance you could bring it down to the Missathon at Yass, if you turn up that is ??

Base of the brass casing. Note the bit of paper over the flash hole.

Excuse my ignorance but Who, what and where is missathon?

Ok thanks mate, was wondering how you make it go bang using brass cases like that and not having a primer pocket and using musket caps. Got it figured out now. How do you go extracting the case after firing, jam a rod down its throat ?

Peter,
A bunch of blokes (and the odd girl type) getting together in Yass, for a weekend of Bullets, Bullshit and the odd Beer.

Gotta be happy with that. The more I look at this the more I want one....as impractical as it would be for me.

How tall a safe do I need

Looks nice, shoots nice whats not to like.

I always wanted to get a big Sharps of some sort and calibre, a 45/110 would be a bit of a giggle, but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment.
