I've been searching on and off for a caplock big bore pistol for a long time now. I'd like at least .62 caliber, smooth bore.
I've seen .58 percussion, and .69 flinters, but no percussion over .58.
I've thought about building my own, and still have the piece of seamless tubing laying on my bench. I thought about buying a black powder 20 guage shotgun barrel, and cutting it off to make a pistol.
But to be realistic, I just can't seem to get off my butt and build it. My shop time is rather limited since my daughter was born, and I have a whole bunch of other projects that take priority.
So does anyone make such a gun ready built?
