Free Junk

Hey guys, a neighbor found this thing cleaning out someone's garage. Looks like a 1" x .54 caliber TC barrel in "rough" shape. :s10:

If anyone wants it for a project I'd be happy to send it to you for the cost of shipping. You can have loads of fun filing the flats and getting it re-bored to .58, or maybe cut it in pieces and make some smoothbore pistol barrels.

Semi now I gave you one of my better barrels in good faith! Don't let the looks fool you - this barrel is a real shooter!

At least there wasn't a load in it.

How could you tell? Could you actually get a ramrod down that barrel?

Too bad. I would have taken it and paid the shipping if you would have thrown in the Swamp Dragon!
Which reminds me, I haven't heard about it lately. Are you feeding it on a regular basis?

Honestly Bronko, the Dragon has not been out of the rack in almost two years. Every now and then I hear a low growl from that end of the man cave - it is pissed.

Well I highly suggest you take it out and feed it something, anything. Even if its only Paper.

Jake, the Swamp Dragon is a gun I built a few years back on a whim. So far as I know it's the only striker fired under barrel percussion caplock in existence.

It shoots pretty well.

Prior to being a mod I didn't go to sections of the forum that I couldn't contribute in. So I stayed in big game, small game, and firearms forums primarily.

I just got into muzzleloading last year and began reading posts there more often. But I missed the swamp dragon somewhere along the way.

Even as a mod I don't get around the forum as much as I should which leads to me missing certain things .

Semi, that is an incredible rifle. Have you hunted with it?
