Ok guys, this summer I embarked on a mission to build my own .410 (since I couldn't find one to buy.
The build started with a inexpensive Whitetail .504 bought in East Tn.
Doc supplied a
410 barrel, 1 in 16 twist stainless, (the last one he had, standing in a corner of his shop, according to him.)
Preston Vanderford at Ironhorse Gunworks in Loretto Tn. agreed to do the work.
Barrel turned to original dimensions, cut to 23", 11 degree target crown, threaded for action and breech plug, drilled and tapped for front sight, welded a new heavy lug at the rear of the action, drilled and tapped for a rear action screw in place of the rear trigger guard screw, (like a Model 97) ,welded on 2 ramrod thimbles, glass bedded the action and recoil lugs.
He finished the rifle by cerakoting all the metal in a brushed tungsten color (even though it was stainless, the cerakote will give added corrosion resistance) and dipped the stock in Krytek Typhon camo.
On the barrel he laser etched "White Muzzleloading System/Ironhorse Gunworks" .410 cal. Black powder only.
I've mounted a Nikon 4 x 12 Buckmaster scope for testing.
I will be testing a Accurate custom molded conical bullet modified from idaholewis "i" bullet design by adding one driving band and one groove. It comes out of the mold at .410 and 335 grains.
Now for pictures...
