you just need a brass barrel band
Select_Room_3881@reddit (OP)
Doesn’t need one lol, too much work I’d rather risk the barrel flying off into my face
Stoney256@reddit
Agreed. Add a few more zip ties.

I’ve tried barrel bands on these but they look so ugly on them, plus it wouldn’t fit the tacticool look I got with the picatinny rails lol

A scope on a smoothbore ! It's going to feel like firing a 12.7mm hangun ahah

It’s actually rifled inside, i was surprised to find out there was rifling lol.
Heptanitrocubane57@reddit
Well that's nice you can shoot ogives instead of balls ! Watch the load though, the gas seal being a lot better with ogives (those with a "squirt" that bends outwars to engage te rifling) so you may want to reduce the load.

Read the bottom text, this was a proof test, with double the amount of powder, just to make sure this don’t go boom boom on me when I shoot it by hand lol
Heptanitrocubane57@reddit
Mhm... not quite sure it's a good idea. You may have just done damage to the metal with the overpressure that could cause failures later, with standard loads. Better to go very low and rise up to the normal charge and then keep firering and inspecting for signs of premature wear or damages. Going with strait up2x... isn't safe at all.
Select_Room_3881@reddit (OP)
You have any idea what a proof test is?
Heptanitrocubane57@reddit
I do, yes, but this doesn't make the rest of what I said wrong. After such a test, I wouldn't trust the weapon the same way I would an identical one.
Select_Room_3881@reddit (OP)
Whatever nerd.
Heptanitrocubane57@reddit
Well it's your fingers , you do you. I'm just sayin'
Select_Room_3881@reddit (OP)

You might want to replace the visco fuse with hemp wick it burns slower and it won't spit sparks
Select_Room_3881@reddit (OP)

Doesn't seem like it'd fit on the hip of a Texas ranger
Select_Room_3881@reddit (OP)
Yup, might fit on an Arizona ranger’s though
