We always wanted to blank-fire the 6pdr so we bought a firing pin from forum member Rob and took the barrel off again in August. We had taken it to a gunsmith who made some adaptation to the barrel to allow black powder firing. He also made a special rounds for the firing. After that he s taken it to a state approval laboratory and they issued a certificate and marked both the barrel and the rounds. Now we can blank fire anywhere without a temporary shooting range approval. It really works
The blank rounds will yet get a brass finish to look more authentic.
We also made a replica of the sight holder. Thanks to Marc van Aalderen for providing the dimensions.
