Thanks Longcruise, having a lathe helps, knowing how to actually use it would help even more!

I enjoy his videos, so after watching this I joined Rumble. The only way to show my disapproval of companies like You Tube are to stop using them. To hell with their policies and politics. Maybe old Elon could snatch them up and turn them around.

I made a drill jig today. Not my idea, There is a guy on ALR forum that makes and sells these. Looks handy so I jumped in. There is a bushing for 1/8” and 3/32” drill bits. I used a small piece of copper line, left over from plumbing a mechanical oil pressure gauge as a sleeve for the 1/8”...

Thanks for posting this.

Thanks! I changed a lot on this rifle, I posted a bunch of pictures as I was doing it in the What Muzzleloading Stuff did you do today thread.

What species of wood were most used for these guns?

It’s a Western Diamondback, the colors on this one were very vivid compared to all the others I’ve come across. We also have Timber Rattlers here. They are very dark.

Looks great! Do you know what it weighs at this point?

That would be my new snake pistol for sure.

Ordered parts from Deer Creek, Track and a sweet trigger guard off eBay to rework a CVA Hawken pistol to my liking.

Here’s mine that I just gave a facelift.

The .54 and .58 big bore rifles didn’t have a patch box.

Never seen anything like that before, very interesting bullet. that’s pretty awesome you got it to shoot your first go round. Beautiful rifle, keep us posted on the range report.

Very nice finish.

Last few pics

I finally had time to finish my Investarm Bridger Hawken facelift. I removed a lot of wood off the entire stock. I added an iron nose cap and entry pipe. I removed all the ugly pattern on the face of the lock. I really don’t like the Investarm style of patch box so I reworked it to remove the...
