Build with this inline action

[arcticap]

I came across this inline action for sale that allows a person to build their own customized inline. For a long time I've wished that an inline rifle was available
with a barrel that had a round ball twist, and having an action like this one makes it possible. But in the end, it would still be pretty expensive to build one though.
There was a builder that did offer such a gun whose website I viewed a
long time ago, but I could never locate it again. And that was a relatively expensive rifle too.
There's no mention of whether the ignition is by an 11 cap or 209 primer though, or if it even has a safety mechanism.

That box lock action on the same page is kinda neat.

i wonder what kind of barrels would be available for that action.

Betcha that breech plug is standard so you can fit any barrel to it. The question is how far does it extend? If the barrel is already tapped for a plug, you may have to shorten it.

Personally, I'd rather have an octagon barrel rifled to take a minie ball. Build that on a flintlock and you've got a long range winner. Of course, that's cheating.

Still a good idea though

Hey, I can actually use this lock, coupled with a Whitworth barrel from Parker Hale, outfit the whole thing with a Martini-Henry stock and build the most accurate BP match rifle in all time!
