.45/.480 hangs there on a hook loaded with (5) .45 short blank of 5 gr. red dot and card wad and a .480" hornady ball topped by a .490" hand cast swaged-in from the front a la percussion revolver and a smear of grease.
That front sight reminds me...

of the one on my Gamo CFX. There's a lot to be said for a pin front sight of the proper width for use in conjunction with the rear sight.

a single 6-48 hole and mounted a marbles or williams rifle base. The base broke into when I attempted to drive/tap sight into dovetail. The 5/8" to 3/4" 6-48 screw with the head turned-down flush with the shank was used as a template for overall height experimentation. The proper sight never got mounted.

Who has the reamer for the chambers? Seems like building one wouldbt be that difficult.

Gary Reeder chambered mine and John's. He also fitted the barrels.

I do not have a 480 Achilles but I do have some rejected parts from that project that some old boy pasted toga tree to make a shooter.
