Attention Idaho Inliners.

Look what I made today. And it freicking works too!!!! Idaho legal inline conversion for my Whites. This type of thing could be adapted to a lot of different inline guns.

Need to fashion a spring to keep the "Hammer" against the "Plunger". Just went to WallyWorld and bought a pack of diaper pins, I think I kin make a spring from one a those.

Started with a piece of 1/8"x2" hot roll flat stock, hack sawed it into an L, put it in the drill vice and heated it with a tourch and bent it into form. Was nice to have this POS Luisiana rust bucket barrel I got stuck with from an on line auction, to use as a mandrel to bend the orange hot metal around the round part. Been tinkerin with it since lunch. Need to polish it a bit and file the top edge level. Then I need to decide what to do for a finish. Could try to cold blue it or just paint it.

Isn't it the craps we are forced to do something like this - but is does say "pivoting Hammer" certainly looks that way to me....

Yes, it is crap that you have to have a pivoting hammer, but you got one for sure.. There is a White Lightening .504 for sale over on William Gun Site company:

Are you actually shooting that rifle?

goatbrother · 11-10-2007, 09:41 PM

Heck no I ain't shootin that rifle. That is just a junk piece of iron that a fine upstanding gentelman from New Orelens sold me in an internet auction, he said the bore was perfect and no rust. NO RUST!!! As you can see the barrel is no longer fit to be a gun, ain't even got any rifling left inside. But it worked just fine as a pattern for fitting the IDAHO TRAD CONVERSION.

Looks like hurricane katrina got it

goatbrother · 11-10-2007, 10:07 PM

Pre Katrina, by about three weeks. I hope that sorry slob that sold it to me had lots of problems after Katrina flooded him out.

This will be a little easier on the eyes.
