A type of muzzle loading firearm- catch is, you don't load it from the muzzle. The barrel is threaded onto the frame, and there is a wrench to unscrew it. With the barrel off the weapon, fill the chamber with powder, set a lead ball on top, then scew the barrel back on. While slow to reload, this design gave a very tight bullet-to-barrel fit, was very accurate and hard shooting. Link below is to a photo of a well made screw barrel pistol- you can see line where barrel unscrews.

How do you field strip an Eastern Arms Company Single Shot 16 gauge shotgun?

There may be a screw under the fore end. If so, remove it. If there is no screw, or once the screw is removed, the fore end should pull away from the barrel, at its front. It may take some effort and may be held in place by spring tension. Once it comes loose, the barrel can then be opened normally, and will dismount from the receiver pivot. To reassemble, set the barrel in place, set the fore end against the receiver, and snap it back up against the barrel. Then replace the screw if there is one.

Columbia shotgun single barrel The only numbers are 12 for the gauge 94 and 97 There is a date on the side of the receiver Also there is a round door on the side of the receiver that opens What is it?

The round door on the side has to do with taking the barrel off. It holds the screw in the lower right hand corner stable. If you remove that screw the barrel comes off.


What size pilot hole do you drill before using the countersink bit in stainless steel?

I drill a pilot hole the size of the 'barrel' of the screw. -I always use a combination drill bit for sinking screwheads. The first part of the bit is the diameter of the 'barrel' of the screw and the step, one inch higher is the size of that screw's head. (The barrel is the diameter inside threads) -I have a set of these drill bits for #6, #8, and #10 screws and they are great.
