Interesting Toradar Barrel

[Pukka Bundook]

Steve, When I replied above, your pictures after etching did not show for some reason. That is Beautiful work!!!

Now I had not though about dung or dirt as a filler! At least with my "chamberless " one I don't have to worry about germ warfare. :-)

I do recall reading, I think in Elgood, that these took longer to load because of the chambers, but it does not go on to say why....or How they were loaded. I will look at your link, and thank you for that!

Edited to add S**t works! LOL!

Steve,

Yesterday I tried out a terrible old toraor that I'd been working on. Had to fine-bore the barrel as it was very rough.
It is Very lightly stocked and had parts missing.
Anyway, after the usual safety test, I loaded it as they did in the video, with dried cow manure as wadding, and it went off like greased lightning! Accuracy -wise wasn't brilliant, as it seems to be shooting "off" a bit. May need the barrel straightening a bit
This one has a constricted chamber, so the wadding was required, but it Does work......also the barrel remained dry and less greasy than with normal wadding...
