Hi, yes there is, I have seen some monsters, but never could get one. Theres also a great turkey population up there, Hopefully this year will be a good one.
Hey neighbor, lol. Yes it is, Killawog is in Broome county which is about an hour give a take a bit to Norwich.
Thank you
Thanks
Hey Dan, thank you for your interest but to tell you the true, I never made a tomahawk or knife sheaths, I mostly make pouches, haversacks, bags, belts, hat band, holsters, slings, almost anything other then sheaths, but again thanks for the interest and I keep you in mind if I ever make one.
Thank you. It is. I have been reading posts for what feels like for ever. LOL
Wow thats cool, I'll look into it the book, looks good. lets see, my plans is to rasp out the stock, make the barrel out of DOM steel, either sand cast the trigger guard or hammer it out, not sure yet, and I would like to try my hands on cutting out and hand filing the lock, if that fails then I'll buy one, I have seen a few youtube videos on making your own BP muskets and I am pretty good with my hands, I just need to take the dive and experiment and see how it comes out, I have lots of hand tools I used to be a jeweler, so thinking filing steel should be the same just a little harder. Thank you for the reference.
Yeah it is pretty ambitious, but I have to try, even if it comes out looking like something from MadMax thunderdome, just as long its safe to shoot I can at least say I did it, then from there I make another one using what I learned.
Thank you, I have looked into getting a kit just to get my feet wet and learn how to put parts where they belong, yeah Im sure its nothing like making a model airplane but it should be very interesting never the less. The website is awesome thanks for the link.welcome from southeast Vermont! There are a bunch of different level of "making your own - all the way from felling a likely looking tree for the stock to something which requires a few screwdrivers to assemble, and some secret goop to finish. most of us probably fall in the middle, as do I. If you get a "kit" from Track of the Wolf or Pecatonica, remember that these aren't "kits" like the model airplanes we built as kids - more on the order of "parts collection. If you want something more finished, look at Kibler (here's a link)

these are fantastic looking rifles, they have great parts, and i'm saving my soda can money to buy on of his Southern Mountain rifles.
in any event, you've come to the right place for a boatload of information and support. make some wood shavings on the floor, then
