Major snip: Gary is building a rifle converted from musket to breach loaded.

Gary, when they did the conversion, did they cut the breach of the original
barrel off? Was there originally a closed breach with a small hole for the flame
from fire pan or percussion cap to ignite the powder?  Just trying to get a
sense of how much work went into the original conversions.

Nice work with chisel, rasp and file so far. That is a lot of hand shaping!

Can't wait for the next installment.
