Man, I need a day like that!
Shot my Frontier .50 cal flintlock. Had a great outing, mostly 50 yd work today. Rang the 50 yd gongs many times, and even put 2 shots on my coffee cup lid at 50 yds off hand. Best of all, zero misfires, pan flashes, hangfires, and same flint the whole session. Might be finally getting some things figured out!

Took that annoying little tail off the Jukar rifle trigger guard. It’s definitely a poor mans SMR

A good bit of news, thank you for reaching out
Ordered a Kibler SMR on ye olde credit card, taking advantage of a $200 sign on bonus for spending in the first couple of months. I'll pay the amount later this week when a check clears and save some money.
I've thought of doing the same thing with mine.Took that annoying little tail off the Jukar rifle. It’s definitely a poor mans SMR

Yep. It was right where my pinky finger needed to be and I saw no use for it. I may take it off my Traditions Kentucky also.
I loaded six paper cartridges in one hour using my new Guns of the West paper cartridge kit. My fat, glue covered fingers coupled with many curse words helped me set the new world record for cartridge production.

Hi-
Don't do much on this site, actually nothing I believe.
However, I do ask about caps whenever I'm visiting at a gun shop, today, 22SEP24.
I found CCI #11 caps at Mesa Sportsman's Warehouse. And one tin of musket caps.
Plus a big selection of primers for CF reloading.

Got two secondhand £350 each “gunstar “ pcp airguns both unused. Both bsa Scorpio. The 177 target master on the 177 was £240 and the “mount master “ hunting scope, very good £70. Both will put pellets through the same hole a 50 yards, but you need EXACT Diablo pellets for that Max 12 ftlbs without a police permit , that’s fine with me
Both scopes by Nikosterling . I am not an airgun nut , but they kill birds and animals , squirrels definitely , to 50yards and don’t mess up the meat like a shotgun. I am not a rifle range nut, but prefer the woods,. Shot a lot of foxes in my time. Rabbits almost disappeared through blood pox in UK At last getting some squirrels back in the garden , they are tasty .
Hunting with rifles is few and far between in uk , unless you have a farm or land . Any Forrest’s private or gov land, and no shooting there !!!!! so pcp air guns saved my hunting life. Got over 20 ml rifles even a 450-400 double for elephant. But they can only hang on the wall . Well that’s the uk
Absolute apologies to our lord above for pcp unmentionables, But I won’t drone on about them , just a bit of very occasional
pcp education, after all they are magic and 500 pellets for $20 is amazingly cheap for culling squirrels .

And you can still use them for eggs!
How many can you get out of a lid ?
