http://blackthorneproducts.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=975 Got a few on the way!!! hope they will hold up to 460 Rowland and 460 S&W in a block or trunion!!!

Jermanator

That is one heck of a deal!

BigDanS

I believe you would have to be a machinist to use them. How would you remove that trunion? What would you use it for?

HvyMax

Kinda looks like they would use a barrel nut on the end of a receiver. When I get them I will figure it out. A friend with a lathe is a handy thing to have. I am debating on a grease gunnish design with a barrel nut at the end of the receiver or turning and threading them for a 460 Rowland Mac10 carbine and maybe a 460 S&W AR then who knows what I will come up with after that??? Might need 4-5 more and build a Gatling??? The possibilities are endless when you have tools and inspiration!!!

HvyMax

They also have tons of deals on AR kits and uppers as well as other goodies.

HvyMax

I am only guessing at this point but they were probably made to use on an AR upper maybe using a Suomish, Stennish, M3ish bolt.

Evidently Blackthorne = Hesse = Vulcan.

I'd stay far, far away from what they're selling.

Yeah I know but if these work out it is an insane low price and if it doesn't I used a CC so they can only screw me around so much.

“Brand new .45 ACP barrel is 16" long…”

Is that the calibre or the cartridge for the barrel?

Yeah, I probably wouldn't buy a finished upper from them, based on what I've read. That said, I did buy an AR barrel from them, and the extension hasn't loosened or the FSB hasn't lost it's pins. It's a gamble, just depends on whether it's worth it to the person laying down the money. Be sure to thoroughly inspect anything you buy before use, but that's a good idea generally. I've bought a few items from them because the price was right, everything's always showed up. Not necessarily the highest quality, but pretty much what I expected for the price.

To those that have ordered these barrels, please post pics when they show up. I'm just curious at this point, not too worried if I do miss out on the deal, but there are a couple other items I might be interested in if they're still around when I get ready to order. Thanks

It's a 16" barrel chambered for 45acp. It appears to have some kind of attaching point at the rear where something like a barrel nut would hold it up against the end of a receiver. maybe somebody was planning a run of M3 carbines or something. For that price the possibilities are endless. Some lathe time and a few chamber reamers and they can become almost anything that hurls a 45 caliber projectile.

Wonder what the twist rate is.
.650 Outside diameter, roughly .45 inside diameter. About a tenth of an inch wall thickness. Hmm....
Unless my math or reasoning is off, that is. Just seems a bit thin, esp. for the higher pressure rounds.

Unknown barrel specification.

.45 ACP (21,000 psi)

.460 Rowland (40,000 psi)

.460 S&W (65,000 psi)

Frequently a 45 acp can just be reamed to 460 Rowland depending on many factors. For the 460 S&W I would mount the chamber end in a block or trunnion of some sort that would reinforce it exponentially. The worst the Rowland upgrade would need would be a sleeve on the chamber which should be fine with what I am planning which includes threading and adding a lug where the barrel buts to the receiver I could easily extend a sleeve off of it that should be more than sufficient to reinforce the chamber.

Hmm. Cut the trunion off, make of of Tennmike' s single shot specials in 454 or 460....

Look at the ad- - - - -I wouldn't trust that thinwall tube with anything hotter than a Cowboy Action load! Did P.T. Barnum design those things?

Rather than a stand alone barrel, those things seem to be more in the line of a barrel sleeve to be press fit, soldered, epoxied, or otherwise fit inside a reinforcement sleeve. They are way too thin for using as is, and a .460 Rowland or .460 S&W would explode those things into a nice banana peel shape. I'm not all that sure that they would survive a .45ACP round. Wile E. Coyote wouldn't use them as is, even if they came from the Acme catalog.

In other words, they're just perfect for Max to play around with!

If old W E could acquire or make a couple sets of these;





He may be able to make a pair of these;





And be a proper highwayman.

Those pistols were offered over here in the '70s and into the '80s, but I forget who imported/made them. Both of the ones sold in the States had a habit of burning the trigger finger from sparks and escaping fire from the nipple. The trigger guard/spring also had a habit of 'walking out of its slot in the hammer. There is still a rifle kit for sale here in the States.

Ownership of the rifle or pistol is O.K., but shooting one, there is a requirement that you first study the Sailor's Book of Magic Words and Phrases, or the Marine companion book Marine Drill Sgt. Book of Magic Words and Phrases. Proper cursing follows proper form, and separates the acolyte from the master. :rotflmao:

A flintlock would be out of the question then? :jester:

Ah!.......... A swivel, underbarrel pinfire..............

Come on work with me.

The bloody barrels are on the way. :head:

I like the idea of a swivel barrel caplock rifle. Take two 15/16" across the flats .58 cal. barrels and drill/ream them to take the .45 cal. barrels. That would make a short, not so heavy, two shot rifle for hunting thick cover.

And a flintlock volley gun would be oh so sweet!

Doesn't matter what the barrels are like....................we need VIDEO of the first couple of firings............

HvyMax

They are supposed to be here Thursday so I will figure it out. They will probably need a trunion or block of some kind but for the price I just can't help but be inspired.

I just hope you don't get 'blown away' by how cheap they are....................

Not quite as inexpensive, but Green Mountain sells unturned blanks for $50 or so. The price is right for someone with access to a lathe and likes to tinker.

I just happen to have two of those Green Mountain .45 cal. blanks 24" x 1 1/8" sitting in the living room waiting on me to turn them down and fit them to an action. Single shot .45 Colt bolt action is the plan. Woo Hoo!

HvyMax

Mine are here. Seems to be amazingly well done for what I don't know. Beautiful weld machined and the flange as well. Now to figure out what to make with them.
