Danish Snider 1861

[Christel]

Everyone who knows us will know that I have the best husband and friend in the world.

Ovenpaa has for the last week or so acted a bit strange, just small things, "hmm" I thought "what is it that I am not supposed to know". Now I know how difficult it is to buy him something as a gift because we are always together. So equally he would have struggled and I must say he did well this time. I was clueless when...

...a loooooong parcel turned up today, "open it" he said very excited :lol:

I am now the proud owner of a Danish Snider. It has a barrel where I can easily put my thumb into. It is longer than a long thing. It is a stunner :shakeshout:

Ovenpaa will post some pictures.

I couldn't ask for more sign92

Pictures.




I machined a dummy case this afternoon to confirm operation and realised afterwards the drawing I used was wrong however the case fitted and the firing pin leaves quite a mark so it is going to work in that respect. The case is 18,0mm X 28,0mm and the bullet is actually a 17,5mm



That is a 5,56x45 NATO case next to it for scale.

Nice thought Roger however this is not her Christmas prezzie is. Found that mould yet? Around 17,5mm should suffice...

You're obviously spoiling her - and she deserves it!
