[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5874612, member: 22496"] Ok, so these are the parts and sizes. A set of calipers is a must for this. The brass is a 45 Colt for the barrel and a 223 for the middle piece. The type of cane needed for the mouthpiece (to replace the hen wingbone if unavailable) is best from the cane you find in the woods away from the river bottoms, the soil isn't as good and cane growing there doesn't get as big. It grows thin with long round sections. The middle piece can be found in the woods patch but the barrel usually has to come from a river bottom cane patch cause it grows bigger there. Try to get as round as pieces as you can find and cut way more than you'll think you'll need cause it wouldn't seem so but it takes some time and many pieces to get the ones of the correct size. Get cane that is recently dead and brown but not dead too long cause it will be brittle. Recent dead cane has a smooth finish to it with no spots or roughness. When cutting it to size, score completely around it with a fine hack saw blade to prevent it from pulling slivers. Sand the ends and sand the cane with 120g sandpaper cause the raw cane has a tough, slick wax like finish on it that the glue won't stick to very well. [/QUOTE]
