After months of waiting and hinting at this build it finally showed up today. Rifle started as a Freedom Series .52 Disc, barrel was cut just ahead of the breech plug and threaded to accept an Oregon tapered octagon barrel. A smaller diameter plug was then made to fit in the .32 barrel. Weight of the barreled action is nearly identical to that of a .45 Mountaineer. When both are held the .32 is noticeably lighter due to its synthetic stock. Hopefully the weather holds out and I can shoot it Saturday.
