railfancwb Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Routledge bore… Remington used this in some .22 smoothbore rifles for use with .22 shot shells. An entry on the web says the barrel was .22 smoothbore for about half its length, with the muzzle opening about 0.4 inches. The web entry inferred a 0.4 counterbore for muzzle half of the barrel. My question… was the 0.4 counterbore straight? Or did it taper? I can’t imagine it being taper because of the cost and complexity of the machining operation. But I don’t know… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to have a Rem 572 Routledge bores I’d they ever made any? I know they made some smooth-bore 572s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this patent drawing, which appears to show a straight bore. Wondering now about reaming most of the front of the barrel on an inexpensive .22 revolver to accomplish this. Leave an inch or so of the rifling near the cylinder so it wouldn’t be a short barrel shotgun. Could use a piloted drill bit such as one would use to bore a .22 barrel to line it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I ran across mention of the Routledge bore in an article about practicing wing shooting with such a smoothbore and large fall grasshoppers as the prey. I’ve used .22 shot cartridges in a revolver attempting to take out carpenter bees. If I’ve aimed and led properly too often the bee is in the hole of the donut made as the rifling spins the shot.

railfancwb Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Saw this book recently… maybe on Amazon. Don’t know what brand of revolvers are pictured but they must include a transfer bar. Not the classic firing pin hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
