Professional carpenter friend of mine uses Gladiator Glue - it's expanding in a gun style tube.

My mate and I got one each with .410s today

I'll take some red oak if you have any left, please
-
Had you actually been using it to hammer in fence posts? That's said as a joke...
Wish I'd seen this sooner, great gun.

Frankly you'd be better off using stock images:

You will not see the detail on top of a sign and getting your dogs to pose in such a way that they'd have a meaningful silhouette is likely to be a fruitless task

You want somebody with a plasma cutter to do the job
Or a waterjet

You could edit the picture yourself to get the silhouette then use something like Inkscape to turn it into an SVG. You should then be able to send this to a metal cutting company. They might have welding capabilities too - not a complicated piece of work. Then get it powdercoated

Love it...

Hello, did you manage to fix your 410?
Hello. No, not yet. Had a lot on.

Well, that competition ran and ran 🙄

Saw these in a lot at the local auction - there were a couple of pairs. I've since worked out what they are for but thought I'd let others see if they know
-
Got to take the whole damn thing apart again now as didn't measure the existing one... 😬

Don't know anyone with a small lathe out in their barn do you?
Now that I've seen how simple a piece it is, I can probably make a new one - but don't they need to be hardened?
-
Took it all apart which was considerably quicker than putting it back together again. Couldn't see any muck but have oiled it all up and will try again. It might be the ammunition that's a bit dodgy

Hello, my old double 410 did that, the pin did not have much depth on the breech face to indent the cartridge so a bit of filing and tidy up the pin it worked OK, how far is the pin protruding?
I need to work out how to take the pin out - I'm hoping there's a hidden screw once I take the trigger etc. off. It's a floating pin
-
My hammer action folding 410 failed to fire the other day. I'm wondering if the firing pin is a bit worn. Any recommendations on how to get a new one? Spring seems powerful enough and it's all lubed and moving freely

Absolute garbage - blades are made of jelly - 3 shaves and they're burgarred.
And the same price as Mach3 in Sainsbury's. TV advertising isn't cheap - they're running an identical scam as Gilette. Still a lot of plastic to land fill
-
DE razor arrived this morning and I managed to shave without cutting myself at all. I need a better shaving soap but enjoyed the ritual

The "something" blocking the barrel is probably a 1oz lead ball and 60 grains of black powder. 😃
It would be exciting if it were...

Here's a better picture of the lock with some bits removed - surprised the screws came apart with little difficulty and the trigger mechanism still works fine.
I suspect that the lock is of some age but the stock is more recent - cobbled together as a tourist piece as someone said. My father doesn't remember where he obtained it. The barrel would be good for shooting round corners - it's not exactly straight (and it's blocked with something anyway).
There is some lettering on the barrel but difficult to make out - an "M" perhaps?

Looks identical to a Charleville type. Don't know if they were made under licence in North Africa

I'm most likely way off the mark but it just doesn't look "right" - the stock seems to be shaped like the Arabic early muskets and the lock looks like it's from a totally different gun - could it be a hash up to use for re enactment?
The lock does look better made than the rest.
-
I'd like to know if it's a genuine piece or some tourist tat reproduction. I'd love to get it looking decent enough to hang on the wall

I have an HW60J in HMR if that's any help?
