.36 caliber repro single shot?

[inlikeflint]

Last winter my project was a .36 flint pistol. An ebay lock, $15 tow 1/2 stock, a numeric arms $10 barrel, tow breech plug, and I made all the rest in my shop. Came out nice, I turned off 1/2 the oct. barrel to a tapered round with a canon muzzle. I will have to get it on a scale one day but it is not extremely heavy. I really like flint. Toying with idea of a flint .50 derringer!

Look for a used .32 or .36 underhammer.

I just happened to have some 6061 al. so I used that for furniture since I was only making a shooter for ME. john

I used vinegar and steel wool for stain and topped it with jacobean. For a cheap hunk of wood I am satisfied. And will eventually brown the steel.
