Here it is, Hau's new hole gun. The first RA 15 cm. I think this barrel will work very well. It is really stiff, and while the OD is just a tiny bit large, it can easily be sanded down to fit inside the skirts on the barrel and muzzle. The track is cut with a 0.305" diameter ball, leaving nice a nice fit on a 9/32" shaft.
I would need to machine the skirt just a little wider to extend the track all the way back into the handle, but that would be easy to do.
Here you can see the faint lines left over from whatever they use to wrap the outside when fabricating the barrel.
Things went pretty much according to plan on this little test piece. I do not see any "show stoppers" at this point that would keep me from making a longer barrel the same way. I used a scrap of the standard "ghost green" G10 for this test, but Griswold has some black material that i would use for the real deal.
What do we need to change / improve Hau?
