Ouch my toe! - The DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com

I imported this interesting volley gun by Pieper for a client and he dropped it on the way home damaging the horn buttplate and smashing the toe of the stock. He thought he found all the pieces but he did not making the repair a bit more challenging than it would typically be. A couple more top coats and it will be done. 7 shots with one pull of the trigger, maybe made for bank shooting waterfowl?

A darn good job. I love it.

Looks great.

Did you just build up the plate with epoxy and then file/sand to shape and checker?

Nice set of pictures, nice job.

well done repair...

Looks like a WRA black bakelite BP--RWTF

Steve,
Very remarkable repair, beautifully done!
Karl

Wow, second picture made my stomach churn
The last pictures made me smile

I�d like to see the rest of the gun?

Rob, I used Alknet in boiled linseed and some spirit stain both. The inlet plug did not take the color as well as the original wood so I had to stain it in addition to the oil to get a good color match.

Sure Travis, it is surprising lightweight.

I don't know about the rest of these fellers but I'd love to see some in between photos...

You know in between the smeared accraglass and the finished product.

Next time I will take pictures of every step of the process so those among us who rode the short bus to school can follow along as well.

Very nice work Steve.

Excellent work Steve Nice job of matching the wood color.

Surkamer sold what he called the �Surkamer Seven� which was a seven shot volley gun that fired seven 22LR cartridges with one pull of the trigger. These were typically used for high flying waterfowl, namely geese.

Some of these got imported back in the day aswell.

I'd give a pretty to see a pattern made by those seven bores firing at once. Can you imagine trying to regulate them if they weren't right?

Awesome Job

Mike

If she really repaired it...

Timberlux works well for repairs like that

The concept is like the British Nock gun used by the Royal Navy by boarding parties.
