Spence, Interesting --- and the graphic really helps to show it!

Thanks for explaining in more detail guys, I get what you are talking about and will make up some suitable type "bench" arrangement to shoot from. I was just worried about getting down too much on the gun and that would not be how I shoot it off hand. Makes sense to raise the whole set up ---...

Thanks guys for the replies. Guess there just isn't a real practical way to "sight in" other than good old fashioned repetition and lots of practice. Good reasons/excuses to get to the range.

Just wondering how you veteran SB shooters sight in your gun. I have only done this offhand, which is obviously not perfect. However, I could never figure out how to "bench" it because of the way I have to hold the gun offhand is different than when I get down on the gun at a bench. Anyone...

Been away a bit and just checked back. That's it --- 41 Aeronica. Nice photos too. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Does anyone remember the username of a gentleman that posted a number of photos of a very nicely done Lyman GPR? I have tried doing a search to no avail. I believe it may have been back around 2008 or so. If I can find out his screen name I may have better luck fining the photos. Thanks

Hey, thanks for the photos. They help out. I may tinker with a few things and see how they come out ---- then check around for just the "right" coin.

Thanks everyone. As of now I plan on soldering the coin to a base and installing it in a dovetail.

After reading some posts I am thinking of making a new front sight using a coin (quarter) for the blade. Just wondering what it might look like after filing down for elevation, etc. Does anyone have any photos they could possibly post showing a sight made from a coin? Appreciate any pics or...

I know what you mean. I just fired mine for the first time the other day. It is going to be lots of fun.

Bill, The barrel is finished in the bright.

Thanks for the info guys. Should have it set to go for a try in the next couple days.

Just received my first handgonne barrel and getting the tiller set to go. How do you guys fasten your tiller to the gun? Do you prefer just a real snug wood to metal fit or do you fasten with wood screws, bolt,etc. Anyone pin it similar to pinning a ramrod tip to the ramrod?? Appreciate any...

Thanks for the info. I have plenty of .495 and .490 so that will keep me busy. Wasn;t sure on powder --- 30 sounds like a good start. Thanks

Expecting my first handgonne in a couple weeks. It is a .50 cal. Anyone shooting a .50 have a good starting load to begin with? Never shot one before and wasn't sure how the loads would compare to a rifle. Appreciate any suggestions.

I just got 7 bottles @ $4.99 each with free shipping and fast delivery from www.opticsplanet.com

Thanks for the instructions as well as the link to the site for rope.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Nice looking gun!

What size in diameter of match do you use. I want to make or buy some match but don't have the gun (lock) yet to see what size fits the serpentine. Appreciate any info.

Thanks guys for the video and the web site link to the slow match site. Very informative. Will definitely help the learning curve.
