    Advice on touch hole liner

    Here are some pics. Picked this up awhile back and have been fretting over this for a year. I have an auto fill pan, and would like to correct it. This a 54 getz barrel for reference. So the touch hole is angled to get past the sloted breach face. I would think I would need a ¼" liner due to...

    Moc'd, out a pair of center seam moccasins out of old blanket. The one on the right was a bit tight, adjusted a bit, the one on the left fit great. Ok get out the leather. I am pleased with how they came out.

    Muzzle decorations

    I filed this 45 barrel in an hour or so, used it for practice before I do the rifle. I have been looking at it all day, and I like it more every time. I have a thing for file work on polished steel 🥰

    Carolina Gun / Iron mounted

    Sorry for the confusion Rob, I was asking about the cut down canoe gun that you posted a pick of a page or 2 back. I will see if I can get a vid of the bore scope going down the barrel. That is not the extent of them and they go all the way around the barrel. I will post up a new thread.

    Pedersoli Kentucky .50 Thoughts ?

    I Ran across a deal on a .50 flinter last summer, picked it up to resell. While there are all the complaints that come with a ped. Whatever the brown stuff is that they dip the barrel in. Heavy trigger, not quite right lines. I gotta say this thing is accurate! First shot to see where the...

    Vent pick

    Nice work. It's always better to make your own kit, I think it connects us to the human experience. Makers are my favorite people.
