Its not difficult...buy yourself a good bit with some extensions ....lightly run the bit down theblegth of the barrel and work out the weld. It takes time but mine turned out great and ive fired well over 100 rounds thru er.
@@TrevcatCarroll-iv3te chainsaw file, and or mil bastard file works great. I use the pipe from scaffolding as a barrel, works good, three years of use
@@hollandbozek234 I plan on making another one sometime soon. Also I'm going to get sleeves to go in the barrel. So I can shoot several different calibers. Just to see how it would work with let's say 410, 45, 38 and probably 22.
USE A DREMEL WITH MODIFIED GRINDING WHEEL TO GET RID OF THE WELD SEEMS BLOCKING SHELL. TO GET RID OF REST USE A SHOT GUN SLUG WITH SAND PAPER AROUD AND FIRE THROUGH BARREL WITH LITTLE GUN POWDER.
Cut you a pocket ramrod . 1/2" brass stock 4" long & chucked on a drill to round off both corners . Diy project thats in every Skeet Shooters ammo pouch. Inertia & Brass dont scratch barrels.
Another home made pipe bomb! Pipe is not rated for the pressures from modern smokeless powder! You're lucky that welded seam pipe doesn't explode in your face!
That's far from a pipe bomb. All the pressure goes out the barrel. Notice that the plastic shotgun shell casing didn't split? And that pipe is twice as thick as a standard shotgun barrel. Even more so where the firing pin makes contact. It's inside both pieces of pipe. Sorry you didn't like the video 😎
@@TrevcatCarroll-iv3te As a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE INVESTIGATORS # 11803 I can tell you that it isn't the thickness of the pipe that is the problem; and yes most of the pressure is released from the end of the pipe. The real problem is the grade of steel & cast iron in the fittings being used isn't heat treated & designed for the initial pressure when the shotgun round is detonated. Pipe is designed for liquids & sometimes compressed air to flow through- not for high pressure explosive gasses to be blasted through. Modern guns of all kinds have barrels that are milled or drilled from a solid blank of heat treated steel that is designed for ammunition using smokeless powder; while some shotgun barrels are thinner in construction than black pipe,the difference in the types of steel being used are a big difference in that the barrels are tapered from the head space forward to the muzzle crown,and are usually a smooth bore, some do have rifling for slugs & projectiles. Black & galvanized pipe,regardless of how thick the pipe wall is depending on the " schedule " of manufacture is; for example,most hardware stores sell schedule 40 & 80 pipe. Hardware store pipe is not designed to handle the pressures & when a home made shotgun using hardware pipe is fired, the blast literally causes microscopic fractures in the metal; the pipe may hold up to multiple firings, but eventually the microscopic fractures will weaken & the pipe will burst; the reason most modern guns don't burst everytime they are fired, is as I have already stated, they are made from different grades of steel & are proof tested at the factory. I am not trying to scare anybody or tell anybody what they can & cannot do! I am a N.R.A. member and I believe in the 2nd Amendment & our God given freedoms,but I am also a retired E.M.T/ FIREFIGHTER & Member of the N.F.P.A. my main concern in this lengthy comment is the safety of people and those around them,from my experiences as an E.M.T and a fire & explosion investigator, I have seen my share of bodies & parts blown to pieces by well meaning,fun loving Americans, that just wanted to make a gun or firearm of their own,but just didn't understand the full meaning of metallurgy & the differences between black powder,smokeless powder & double base powder & how dangerous a " home made gun using ordinary " hardware pipe" can be, there is a reason the gun manufacturers use solid blanks to make barrels & parts from & they proof test their barrels, before assembly & selling their guns to the public. Safety first! & if you are going to build a gun, don't be cheap& ask the gun manufacturers how they build barrels, don't let a cheap piece of pipe be the reason your loved ones have to call the coroner & pay the funeral home to come & get your parts! Be safe & God bless you!
Lol! You can do it brother. 👍 It's not difficult. I done it the hard way. You are far better off if you find pipe without weld seams inside. That doesn't matter on the barrel. But the bigger pipe should be smooth inside. No weld. 😎
