Hello All.
I guess this is actually Part IV of the Torador Barrel Investigation Threads I posted earlier. But thought I would start a new Thread since the gun is now complete. The Torador musket is now re-assembled and complete. It's now safe, and ready to be test fired. ![]() ![]() The OAL length is 75" (191cm) with a barrel length of 55.5" (141cm). The original caliber was about .65 (17mm). It has a new steel liner in the bore and a sleeve inside the breech area. It is now a .54 (14mm) caliber smoothbore. It has a new brass front bead sight. The clean break in the forearm wood was repaired, which doesn't even show. The original pan cover was missing. So a new one was made. I added a vent pick and chain. The bead work is just me playing around. LOL ![]() Anyway, picture heavy here. Comments most appreciated. And thanks for looking. Rick ![]() |

Hi Rick,
Great work as always and I'm with Stu on the bits, nicely done. There's quite a lot of Toradors in the U.K., bring backs during the Raj, most of which are in a sorry state stuffed in garages and attics but the bits are much more difficult to find so it's nice to see them together. I've not been about much lately, have you got a liner in the barrel and if you have what is it like to shoot? Regards, Norman. |

Thanks for the comment. I plan on using the flasks to load while test firing and set the other accoutrements on the shooting bench next to me just to add to the "atmosphere" if you get what I mean. LOL. Should be great fun. Rick |
