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!

Thanks for sharing pictures of your gun boat and great effort/workmanship. Novice question what kind of shells are used in this gun.

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
