Thread: 303 Double Rifle and what whiskey ?

It will be a major project
But I do already have a brand new Vulcan 38-55 barrel here that will be used to line the original barrel

I still vividly rember firing a friends Remington Hepburn in 38-55 over 40 years ago and have been fascinated with the calibre ever since.
