You built this yourself??!!
At what range did you regulate the barrels?
Look forward to the rest of the pictures...
BTW - what's the law in UK regarding building your own guns? Do you need a prior permit/ license of some kind?
Cheers!

Some really nice pictures there... Since a lot/ most of it represents your own sweat and skill, it must be double the pleasure to shoot as well... (ok ok lousy pun!)
Thanks for sharing

there are some puntgun shells ,the bigest , is for my big gun , then the next is for my sixteen ounce gun ,.
these are paper cases that i make using a mandrill, then they are wrapped with a material called "fablon" ,.
(plastic) ,.........the brass case is what is used in my double gun , note the smaller 12 bore cartridges at the bottom of picture
there is also a ruler to give an idea of scale
