Welcome from the NW corner of MO. I'm in KC. Wife and I often drove I-70 visiting family both in KCMO and IL during the 80s. Every time went by Wentzville, she wanted to stop at the Tick Tock Clock Shoppe since we collected clocks. Don't know if it's still there. Once we did stop and she...

Very nice build --- I'd call it "elegant." :thumb: Found a forum discussion from 2005 with some interesting history of this lock style. Check out post #6 in this thread. History of Mule Ear locks?

Got this bore light from Log Cabin Shop -- works very well. Extra batteries are also available. brass bore light

Cool tinkering -- especially the doorknobs.

I call it "cold" when the chill sets in, starts you shaken, and can't be shaken. Couldn't hold the gun steady at all. I don't shoot in that type of cold any longer. ❄ Brrr ❄

Cowboy, I'm real glad you are there for your wife in that job and a half. It is that, I know with certainty. I was my wife's caregiver for her 12-year struggle with PD, and this is my fourth holiday season without her by my side. I was blessed that she, as best as she could, always supported...

Hey, RR. Like today, there were options for those folk back when your rifle was first built. Yeah, they cared for their firearms not like it was glass, but their important survival tool. Options were found in a dry goods, maybe stored in a fort's supplies, or often in the wilds. This article...

RR -- Congrats on the long-awaited arrival of your first BP rifle! Great-looking firearm. :thumb: After viewing the many range reports of your .45lc rifle shooting on the hrf, my thinking is that you might enjoy the friendly BP shooting matches, which happen on here. Check out the "Member's...

Welcome, Auldjin. I appreciate your focus on "research and preserve." I have a small weapons collection myself. The research is a cool part of it. Photos are always enjoyed. A look-see at yours would be a :thumb: for all, if you'd like to share it someday. ~wiksmo

I looked at the Scout on DGW, and was surprised at the weight spec. Seems like 5.5 lbs is pretty light. Could the write up be in error? I would have thought it to be heavier than that. I also looked at the 12-ga Gibbs Shotgun Standard on the Pedersoli site, and it weighs 8.59 lbs, which is...

Yeah, know exactly how ya feel....lost my wife, too. And it took a while to quit visiting places that reminded me, as the "old haunts" are meaningful. Sorry. Good for you that your bro thought to give you a "pick me up" visit. Needed at such times. And putting together the real thing out of...

You are on an "adventure" with your sxs cylinder bore. This thread should point you in many good directions as you get started. The "nerves jangled" just add that little extra. ;) Have fun & Enjoy!

Flawless with the jagged barn board tops, the hammer dents in the heads of the railroad spikes, the weather-worn earth tone colors of old wood. ~wiksmo

Ditto on excellent group! Yup, I can see you wanting to adjust for elevation. But I also like your group size fitting snugly into the 2-3/8" diameter. :thumb: All together just shy of spot on. ~wiksmo

Welcome, RR. Good to see you join here. I'm certain you'll have no trouble with getting enough info that can be considered "homework." There are a number of encyclopedic members here. You will learn a lot! :*) Congrats, and enjoy that new rifle.

Crafts class and the remarks column. The personalized description of a member's firearm & load choices made for an extra enjoyable shoot report! :thumb: Fun to see the interest you've sparked, Marc. ~wiksmo

Your Q&A is a perfect starting place. And I can see the future "handsome pistol" of your last photo. Thanks for taking us along for this build. ~wiksmo

Intervention, I wrote about the bore light in another MLF thread, post #3. bore light ~wiksmo

Thanks, @Glock21user . This was totally unexpected. There isn't anyone in my immediate family that has any interest in firearms, as far as inheriting any of my stuff. Yesterday in conversation with my cousin, who last year move to the Pacific Northwest, we chatted about hunting and/or...

@Zonie , Please mark my Trapper classified as "Withdrawn." A family member is wanting it. Thanks. ~wiksmo
