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 ??

Re: New heavy barrel varminting rifle
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.

Re: New heavy barrel varminting rifle
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.
