This is the unfinished 58 caliber Barracuda Bullpup from Barnes Pneumatic. The barrel and barrel hub are blued steel. The reservoir and hammer tube are stainless steel. All of the billet will be hard color anodized during the finish phase.

It's now in "field testing" phase. It's clear now, that the gun will be able to make about 700 foot pounds of muzzle energy with heavier slugs. It's default slug of approx. 331 grains (a light weight 58) now shoots at 920 fps, for about 621 foot pounds of muzzle energy. More testing will tell it's capabilities.

The gun has already proved to be extremely accurate. This is THE one and only group I've yet shot at 100 yards with the gun.

Thanks for looking.

It was a one off.

I have things in the same class - but not an Alpine on the books. Today, the Grizzly and Caribou take that sort of spot.

During the initial testing of this gun. This was with a light, fast slug.

My wife, Kelly, helped me with the range test. She's a crack shot.

When shooting the steel groundhogs, just for fun, this is all that's left. The rest expands, and then expodes in a star burst.

Guess you want it reassembled now .... hummmm.

I've been concentrating closely on four main pcs. 4 Nitro Express rifles in 45 (with two of them farther along). One Yukon in 62 (Jerry has graciously agreed to let me just get it firing - and he'll play with it unfinished for awhile - while I work on other orders). I appreciate it. One 58 insert. Closely behind are one Tundra 45 that's very far along. One Hossette 45, a Ranger 32, and a 30 cal. bench rifle. Those are balanced on the peak ... with a dozen others right up there which include a pump gun, Chameleons, a Liberty and some Heritage work. (pushingarock)

I haven't showed much in the way of additional works in progress ... because I just can't show what I make and detail the parts. Can't show the parts without showing the ..... parts. Way to many things are too far along for generic photos.

Oh ... right ... the Alpine. It's re-blued and needs to be reassembled along with a Nitro Express in the shop for repair.

Gary at the bench with the Alpine 45, December 2007. This was our first range session with the rifle since I'd taken ownership of it.

[attachment 1576 alpine_bench.jpg]

On the bench in fading light. Same range session as above.

[attachment 1577 gary_tweaking_alpine_closeu.jpg]

Gary tweaking the multi-aperture peep sights. This is from February 2008, I believe.

[attachment 1578 triple_shock.jpg]

The end result of three .454" Hornady roundballs simultaneously impacting a steel plate @ 50 yards. As you can see, two fused together on impact. The third impacted about 9" away from the fused pair.

[attachment 1579 sharp_shooter.jpg]

Shooting targets off my knee @ 100+ yards using a puny 4x Simmons "Barnes Special" Turkey Federation shotgun scope. Yes -- I could actually hit stuff at this distance.

[attachment 1580 alpine_full_800wide.jpg]

"Glamour Shot" at Gary's shop.

[attachment 1581 gary_filling_alpine.jpg]

"First fill" -- checking to see if it'll hold air. This was right after I'd bought it . . . probably November 2007 I believe.

[attachment 1582 gary_alpine_inbox.jpg]

"First fire" -- everything was in perfect order after seven years of sitting untouched in a display case.

[attachment 1583 alpine_left_detail.jpg]

Detail -- left side of receiver section. I see new stuff everytime I look at this rifle. The amount of detail is staggering. Well done, Gary. (tu)

Gary's original shop notes on the construction of the rifle along with a new, updated note regarding the in-shop testing.

[attachment 1585 gary_alpine.jpg]

Another "Glamour Shot" which didn't make the cut -- for obvious reasons. (sad2)

I really, really love this rifle. It's a 530 fpe work of art!

It is a beast! While shaking hands and getting to know this work of art,
I was dumb enough to tack a target to a scrub oak in the backyard (about a foot in diameter)
and then shoot it with the Yukon at about 65yds not fully appreciating its immense power. Well, duh, I killed the tree. (split the trunk!)
