any one ever heard of a "parlor pistol", or a "gallery pistol"?
i saw modern repro guns in cabelas (i think)
apparently they only use a #10 or #11 (im not shure) primer to fire a small pellet or BB.
they were used in the past for indoor target shooting,
anyone have one?
considering a small purcussion cap can propell a pellet at about 300-400 FPS,
i was thinking about salvaging an old .117 caliber barrel from a gamo pellet rifle that came apart on me a few years back, the barrel is thick and heavy, so it will hold up to the pressure, but instead of using #11 caps, i was thinking about custom cutting a "chamber" on a lathe to hold 209 shotshell primers, considering a 209 primer is much more powerful than a #11 cap, vecolity should be much higher.
also i was also planning on welding 1/4'' steel plated to form a reciever for the rifle, and building a hindged breech cover out of welded 1/4'' steel, to prevent any cap fragments from spraying out if the worst should happen, i am going to make my own trigger and hammer too
i will try to draw up a rough blue print of this design...
any thoughts?
