My approach is I usually flatter them for keeping everyone safe and kindly ask them politely to not destroy my hard work and repack the bag properly. I would be careful that this item has a very well checkable history. Nice job. But for good or ill we are a very small fraternity. This tip I picked up from my friend Bill at Punished Props from his custom Starcraft 2 Kerrigan's Ghost Rifle build. My religion consists in a firelock, open touch hole, good flint, well rammed charge, and seventy rounds of powder and ball. Different in some ways though, Richard. I dig steampunk, cosplay, prop making, charcuterie, BBQing, cold …. Any more and he will be perceived as greedy.

Disclaimer: If you go out in public with a prop weapon please be careful outside of a convention hall! cockybundoo. Keith Neal goes on to say that chargers of similar pattern were also made for the balls for the same reason & to speed loading. A volley gun originally designed for ship-to-ship fighting, its use was limited and eventually discontinued because of inherent flaws in using it. Participated in the Halloween Props Contest. Use it in a well ventilated area and sand it OUTSIDE unless you want your entire garage coated in a fiberglass dust. Nach Henry Nock wurde die Schusswaffe benannt. Victorian-era British arms, accoutrements, and military history.

lightly hammered the nut into the stock, popped it out and used 5m epoxy to attach it. The Nock Gun was a flintlock operated seven barrelled musket designed by James Wilson and used by the Royal Navy. I do not recommend doing this unless you have a lot patience. That gun is pretty sweet.

When making realistic props you can get into hot water with law enforcement, so please be aware that this is meant to be shown off at conventions after being safety bonded with the check-in tables. The nice thing about creating prop guns is you can change and modify things on the fly, because no one gets to tell me how to play make-believe! One made of wood (didn't work), one of rigid plastic (too fragile) and the third out of EVA Foam Mats you get from harbor freight. Another downside, it could only be fired once - you'd have to reload all 7 barrels.

Thanks!Cover photo by Cliff Nordman. It was a flintlock design, and had the nasty job of being used to clear the deck of a ship that was being boarded by an enemy vessel (think: Pirates). This one looks like it just walked out of Nock's shop. I don’t believe it’s like this Henry Nock screwless lock. The following quote is from Howard Blackmore's monograph of June, 1955, in the Journal of the Arms and Armour Society: I think that a decent double barreled shotgun with short tubes may be a better alternative if it comes to practical use, but this by no means detracts from the charm of these arms! Looking back on it now I think I was nuts to do it this way, but it was a good experience, and the cedar was VERY easy to work with. The reason I used cedar is it is a relatively strong but soft wood. Im interested in what you think. About the air rasp, there is an adapter and rasps for a reciprocating saw, I may have to try. I applied 3 coats, allowing for 1-2 hours drying time between coats, and used 220 grit sandpaper between each coat to lightly sand the stock. Can't imagine the browning lasted that well, but there is a little shrinkage at wood to metal at receiver and at the lock, as you would expect; screws are just a mite bunged up, like you might expect, etc.

The downside of the Nock gun was it used black powder and had a wide spread pattern when fired.

Thanks so much for that Richard. ​A traditional Nock or Volley gun has 7 barrels. Thanks John, a bit of photoshop Gaussian Blur I presume? The forestock you see in the photos was made, but did not get used on the final piece because it didn't look right when mocked up. I shot it with 3 coats of primer, lightly sanding it between coats.

10 2.

That’s right, stirrup is a far better description and is as ‘c’ in this photo. So as I mentioned in step 6 I needed to sand and reinforce the exterior of the receiver cover. What is 'H' ? Is it me or is there something not quite right about this volley gun?When you compare it to other examples online, it doesn't have the same quality look to it. It was used to shred the sails of enemy ships at close range and to clear their decks by firing it, more or less indiscriminately, into the ranks of enemy sailors. About: I'm a crafty dude with a lot of tools, a head full of knowledge, and a lot of time at home as a Stay at Home Dad to my amazing 7 year old son. Last year I did my first scratch build (a 6 foot hypodermic syringe) and have been trying my hand at making larger and more realistic looking prop weapons for my character, "Doc Steamcrunk". prop all day I guarantee that same prop will feel like it weighs 40lbs by the end of the day. I may try a fan style deck clearer at some point in the future. Hey, I happened to be watching some of Bill Doran's older videos and saw this one with you in it in your instructables shirt and figured I'd pop over and say hi! Any more and he will be perceived as greedy. Awesome! Wise council Vincent. So I sanded the foam down a little bit with 150 grit sandpaper with my orbital sander, then used fiberglass mat for auto repairs and Bondo Fiberglass Resin Jelly, which I can't speak highly enough about. I had one in my hands last year but was morally bound to get the Baker rifle that was then at #1. Is anyone aware of any actual reports or anecdotes about the Volley gun being put to use?

A volley gun is a gun with several barrels for firing a number of shots, either simultaneously or in succession. I have owned a nice set of wood chisels for years but never use them, so I decided after researching on the Internet how gun stocks were made that I would try my hand at carving the gunstock how an actual gunsmith would have. 6 years ago Nock’s Navy contract paid him £13 per gun, the equivalent of nearly £2000 today, a substantial fee.

Not a lot better but perhaps it may help? ​I used a orbital sander with 60, 100, 150, and 220 grits of sandpaper to smooth this piece down. Make sure sure your chisels are sharpened on a whetstone, and you will need to resharpen them at least once during the carve. Has anyone got any photos/drawings of the internal parts of the lock to the Nock Volley Gun 2nd Model? I wound up making 3 different covers in total. 6 years ago Presently, two … on Step 2. think of all the exercise u just got from it all.

It was a flintlock design, and had the nasty job of being used to clear the deck of a ship that was being boarded by an enemy vessel (think: Pirates). I have photos of the workings of a 1st Model, but I gather that won't be much help as the two models have quite different lock mechanisms. The dealer was not amused. Building big props is a lot of fun for me, and I hope you enjoyed this instructable about how I made this piece. There is a long bolt at the front. As the old saying goes: 'God created man but Sam Colt made them equal (to a nock Volley Gun).

The design was contracted out to Henry Nock an Arms Manufacturer in London, hence the name the Nock Gun, although it was commonly named the Volley Gun. It sold today for 16,000 Euros (plus Buyer's Premium), which is a bargain if the gun is genuine, and I must admit that from the pictures it seemed to be correct.

I will be curious to hear if someone on the forum got this gun from the Italian auction. All 6 barrels were lightly sanded with 100 grit sandpaper.

60-100 grit sandpaper really feels like cast iron when it is painted. First generation Colts, on the other hand are universally recognized, and almost freely convertible. This became the most time consuming step of the process. Moderators:The Double D, Viclav, Johnny Yuma, GrantR Canada, Carignan Salieres, researchpress. The washes I used were simply lacquer thinner 20 parts to 1 part Testor's Modelling paint (silver, rust and black, accordingly). You can also see in photo #2 I made a forestock for the prop gun, which was later not used. I then  epoxied the rod to the barrels using my sharpie mark as a depth guide and wound up sinking it about 12" into the barrels for a really strong connection with the epoxy which I dabbed on the entire rod where it was inserted. Wear a respirator! It was a fun experience, then a friend showed me his air rasp and I shook my head in disbelief.

I don't know, guys - the Nock up for auction in Italy looks pretty good to me. When I imagine this in my mind, I see a Royal Marine propelled backwards from the yard arm subsequent to firing, or an entire portion of the mizzen shredded.

Has anyone got any photos/drawings of the internal parts of the lock to the Nock Volley Gun 2nd Model? This in turn would allow the pan to align with the vent hole. If serious about it one would really want to handle it, or have a trusted expert appraise it for you.

Did you make this project? Nock-Gewehr im Charleston Museum. I applied fiberglass resin gel and reinforced the corners with fiberglass mat. When carrying around a 7-8lb. I applied a generous quantity of 5m epoxy to the rod and ran it up and down the crevice a few times until it was tacky and let it set up.Check out a duckfoot pistol online, its a fan shaped barrel arrangement. Yes I have considered that, but there are limitations to bodgering existing stocks on custom builds. Share it with us! The original Nock Volley Gun was built in 1779 for the Royal Navy.
