I'm wanting to build a couple black powder shotguns and a punt gun/wall gun but I'm having trouble finding specs for the barrel steel, I was thinking of using seamless 4130 tubing. 1" OD a .156 or .188 wall thickness and either a 1.125 or 1.25 OD with the same wall thickness for the shotguns. Would that work? Maybe with a 8-10" sleeve to reinforce the the breach area?
Now for the the punt gun, I don't really have a frame of reference, I've seen a couple videos that look like they used 2" OD with a .25" wall but I'm not sure if they were just signal cannons or if they were functional guns.
