Maby i'm wrong, but aint that barrel a bit long for the chamber? Being that it looks like 2" pipe.
Looks nice and clean, and that does look like a type of pistol sitting there.

With the one on the left, please tell me it's cemented together, and not taped. As for the one on the right, great job, very clean construction.

I don't think it is a cap ignitor, because the place where a cap wuld have been placed is outside the cun. For a cap ignition to work the cap would have to be unsude the chamber.
