    summer project

    Thank you all for your comments, I will definitely use them to improve my next build. As to critique and feelings, this is a builders section dedicated to learning and improvement, I generally select my friends from the finest a#$holes I can find. I can at least depend on honesty anything else...

    summer project

    Do I want real critique, yes. I know that I am not completely accurate for a indian trade gun. I need more research before I can do that, and I also have to pay my dues so to speak (make enough guns to acquire the skills I need). This gun is part of that process, feel free to point out...

    Cheap Strong Ram Rod

    I make all my rammers from small saplings, mostly privet from a thicket on my property. I have a huckleberry rammer in my 62 been goin strong for a while. I like sapling rammers because the grain all runs one direction(no runout) does anyone else use saplings for ramrods

    Blade rivet

    Buddy, I have built a few and just use nails for the pin, never had a problem. My personal folder I took apart to change the blade after I had broken it using it as a pry bar, no problem with the pin or blade. If this is a sunday-go-to-meeting knife (yes I have those) use something pretty...

    type "G" trade gun info needed

    guys i intend to profile the barrel myself, build the stock from a plank, file the screws, thread the bolts, forge the nails etc, etc in short the lock is the only finished part i intend to buy. I enjoy the whole process so much I don't intend to use any more stock parts than necessary

    barrell oscillation's effect on accuracy

    Robby, thanks I never though of varying the load as a way to bring the bullet and the oscillation into tune with one another. I did not bring up the subject to "troll" but because I do not have unlimited funds for gun building and want to get the most bang for my buck as it were. I never...

    barrell oscillation's effect on accuracy

    What affect would barrel oscillation have on smooth bore accuracy, what I'm trying to say is if the barrel was tuned to a particular wave length or, say musical note maybe. Would a whole note, a sharp or a flat affect accuracy and, to what degree? Also what affect would a straight or a tapered...

    Starting a New Hobby at 90

    At 44 I have been accused of still dressing up to play indians, and have every intention of doin it at 90 if I can pull it off. I was once told that if you don't grow up by 50 you don't have to, and if the so called second childhood is any more fun than the first I may not survive.
