Chambers smooth rifle with 20g barrel
Just measured my Chambers smooth rifle LOP at 13-7/8”. Also took it completely apart last night for the first time since I’ve had it. I was told it was built 20 years ago and just wanted to make sure everything looked good, which it did! I also confirmed it has a GETZ barrel s\n 21xxx. I waxed...- Compressorguy

Chambers smooth rifle with 20g barrel
This will give you an idea of the overall length. Honestly doesn’t feel overly long at all. I guess because it’s so light. Nice bird my son in law took! He is only allowed to “guide“ next season! at least until I take one!- Compressorguy

Chambers smooth rifle with 20g barrel
If you miss you can always smack him with it. Seriously, I had initial concerns about the 46” length but after hunting with it several times, it just seems normal now!- Compressorguy

Pedersoli kit build, then rebuild
The final reveal after 7 coats of 50/50 Truoil thinned with mineral spirits. It’s sooo much easier to apply thinned! Wiped all the way back to just the pores with 0000 steel wool. That left behind some light shaded areas which give it “handled“ patina I think. Final coat of Renaissance wax. I’m...- Compressorguy

Anyone use shotgun lock for a pistol?
Yeh, I might be interested as well. My son in law has a percussion double barrel that’s been passed down that’s missing its locks. Would love to get it functional again.- Compressorguy

What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?
Finished up another “file” knife and sheath to give to my niece as a gift. She’s an avid deer and turkey hunter. I made an “A” out of some nickel silver for her initial and inletted it. Hopefully, I’ll get it sent off this week, just in time for deer season!- Compressorguy

Don't Carve That Stock!
Redirecting I really, really wanted to try my hand at relief carving on this “rebuild” but took your advice Pathfinder and didn’t attempt to carve it. I have pretty good confidence in most of my building skills but carving isn’t one of them (yet). Hopefully I can practice drawing and carving...- Compressorguy

Sides are good and thin now. I will have to “re-clock“ the barrel tang screw slot so it is aligned with the barrel.- Compressorguy

Thank you all for your replies. This pistol kit build/rebuild project has been a great learning experience. I really envy those of you who carve from blanks, your molding carving skills and engraving skills. What a great hobby, shooting sport and forum! Here’s a couple more of the top.
