Thanks guys, I drilled the barel on the lathe with a extended drill bit. Have three inches of solid behing the bore. Davy told me they have such a thing called a mules ear, never heard of such a thing till now. I`ll call mine the mouse trap. :haha:

:rotf: Can we call it "Pitchy's better mouse trap?" :rotf:

Wow. I'm really impressed. Looks like the barrel is pretty heavy, so there shouldn't be much recoil. I think you'll like the .75 caliber. More smoke and noise. :hatsoff:

 

[PitchyPine]

Thanks, I have another 75 Hakenbuchse that I made also and liked it so well I had to make this one in percussion. The wood is stained birch.

:thumbsup: When are you going to give the "mousetrap" it's baptism of fire?

Pitchy,

I think you nailed the profile of the butt of the gonne. I like it better than the one on my snaphaunce.

[musketman]

Very impressive. :thumbsup:

Does that have a sliding bar trigger?

What is the weight of your creation?

 

[mazo kid]

Well now, that's pretty clever! Hey Lenn, do you have a building just for storing all these creations of yours?? Emery

 

[PitchyPine]

Very impressive. :thumbsup:

Does that have a sliding bar trigger?

What is the weight of your creation?

Yep, sliding bar, when ya shoulder the gun your index finger rests right on the bar peg.
Weighs 8 1/2 pounds. Thanks.
mazo kid, i`m in need of more room. :redface:
Thanks

I`m thinking about a ladder site on that flat spot behind the barrel.
