Converting an 11MM Egyptian Remington Rolling Block to Muzzleloader

[Danny Ross]

Ammunition for an 11MM Egyptian is just about impossible to get, and very expensive, so I decided to convert mine to a front loader. I did this by reaming the chamber out with a 9/16 reamer, and threading the hole to 5/8-18 (many commercial breech plugs are this size - Knight, CVA, Rossi, etc.

My Egyptian RB was absolutely the dirtiest firearm I've ever owned when I bought it. It looked like it had been through several sand storms and never cleaned.



These are some of the bolts from which I make breech plugs.



These are some of the breech plugs I made for the Rolling Block The one in the middle is a 454 Casulll



This is the barrel, drilled out and threaded.



This is the threaded barrel installed.




This is the Rolling Block put back together.

That is such a cool idea. I like it. I may just do that with mine too. Thanks for posting the idea,
