No your FEO does not need to know, yes it *should* be proofed again as the barrel has been modified.

that's pretty sexy, that's the sort of thing that would look really good as a shotgun primer off gun loaded pistol, stick to black powder though as it's stainless.

I do like birdheads afterall

It would be a fun conversion to do to a BP revolver, although loading with the cylinder in the gun without any additional equipment might be problematical.

I would give one house room, anyone got an old BP revolver going cheap

my bp one, you can load of the gun, which i do sometimes too, with the aid of a ball starter,

Just a very simple press would be easy to make:

I think "proof" would only apply if you wanted to sell it.

used one of them from Kranks and its ok but type of thing.
What needs to be made is one that has a stop so all cylinders are compressed the same ,
so we need someone who could make a few maybe ............................................

That would be an easy modification along with a central spigot for the cylinder to locate on.
