Im working on a powder horn and am curious what is used for the coloring . I saw the one Soggy just finished and really like it .

perhaps......... http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/236524/post/new/#NEW

I think barrel is only 39-40 inches , its from a Dixie Tenn. rifle . I shortened the forearm like an original rifle I saw . Forearm is only 10 1/2 inches and makes barrel look really long .

Ha ha ha !! Naw this is the XXXL size from the "Big and Tall " department :rotf:

Thanks guys! First chance I get I'm gonna find out how she does . Trucker , it gets tough at times gettin my meat hooks to co-operate so I just gouge them with a chisel or knock a little hide off with a rasp now and again to keep them in line :rotf:

Finally finished my little 32. Stock from a blank,homemade trigger guard, thimbles and rear sight.L&R Late English lock , Dixie take off barrel , unknown dbl set triggers.

I can see only one small flaw ..................LOP isnt long enough :grin:

Nice Roy !!! Ive been impatiently waitin for a look see :hatsoff:

We're cool :thumbsup:

What length of barrel did ya use on it Roy ? Shes a looker :thumbsup:

After reassembling if the parts relationship were very tight tolerances beforehand you may have overtightened the lock screw and tang screw a smidge shrinking the original tolerances. This wouldnt allow the sear to fully engage the halfcock notch because sear would be riding up on trigger bar...

I have several of his moulds and they are excellent :thumbsup:

Wouiiieeeeee !!!!!!!!!!! Boy I am redfaced !! :redface: I had thought that I was told that the rifle was what I posted . :v But when I traded for it I didnt care, I just liked its looks and the fact it was a .40 cal. ! I like the sub calibers for shooting squeaks and chucks . And like I said...

I built the 12 for a friend and the 410 for fun and digger squirrels sometimes when they get thick :grin: 410 was from a cast off Stevens centerfire barrel, total cost for parts was 15- 20 dollars.

Ive built two from scratch , a 410 and a 12ga.. The 410 was a little feller with 25" barrel , myrtlewood stock from plank with rest of parts from scrap metal pile . 12 ga. was with a nice hunk of walnut and a 36" oct/rnd barrel with the rest coming from same scrap metal pile.

I have plans for a lock.I did a little build along thing some time back in gunbuilding forum that may give a few ideas.

Track of the wolf has a book by Pryor Mt. Bill Newton on locks .

Heck if ya want to go fancy you can get 1/16 and 3/32 drill rod at welding supply .

I just use 1/16" and 3/32" oxyacetylene welding rod .

Right on , its a balancing act . Not enough tension when open and it can come back with enough force to bust flints and let hot gases and charred powder blow in your face .
