Very nice! I wonder if there is/are any sources for new hulls for pinfires.
Enjoy

Pinfire source for hulls and complete kits (I can't speak to their quality for I've never used them):

I purchased a kit for loading the 1873 French Ordnance Revolver cartridges from the same outfit. The kit was nicely made. At one time, he had 16 bore pinfires, but no 12s.

I wonder why only 16s. Being unfamiliar with pinfires, was 16 gauge bore more common a chambering for pinfire doubles?
That page can be a bit tricky to navigate, especially on a tablet. The following will take you right to the 12s, for those interested: http://hlebooks.com/pinfire/prices.htm#16%20gauge |

I have a decent supply of brass 16 gauge cases that I bought years ago. I intend to convert a few for the 16 gauge pin fire double that I recently acquired. I think Ross Seyfried wrote a "Double Gun Journal" article about making and loading pin fire shotshells a few years ago. I'll try to locate the article and post the issue number.
