Postage-free Postal Post Shoot

[RC]

Yes it's a traditions trapper, I like it very mucho. The double set triggers and heavy barrel makes it the most accurate pistol I can shoot, including all modern ones. :idunno:

:hmm: bet that'll get real heavy afore it gets thru that 2x4! dam I hope its accurate!(within a sliver anyway!) :haha: :thumbsup:

 

[chance]

Looks like a great shoot.

I got 'er done. Took a bit, but I got 'er done. I've done way better with my old Bess that I no longer have, to the pleasure of many local clubs that dubbed her the "Target Breaker". Another story. I used my .54 caliber Early Lancaster with a .530 ball, .015 cotton patch , over 70 gr of FFg Goex to work this carving down. Stringy, stubborn little b*$+*** it was.

This was THE target. V

This WAS the target. V

This is a close up of a toothpick factory. V

SS Spent 2 years at the colorado school of trades(gunsmithing) way back in the mid seventys...learned some of the gun trade there..Just now getting back into it. Looks like Sunday am for breakin time.

 

[dbutch]

Lonehunter.. my camera does not show much detail- next pistol will either be a Jim Chambers or from a blank and parts..I have got some extra barrels taking up space that could double for pistol barrels...or should I say hand cannons! Got to build something till the Fowler kit arrives. Looking forward to making splinters with the Trapper! Thanks for the kind words..make good smoke....Dan

I guess you could classify me as a caring, "Green", shooter:surrender:. I figure with all the toothpicks I made, I saved some trees :haha:. If anyone needs toothpicks :rotf:, send me a SASE:hmm: and I'll try to send what I can afford to be without. :yakyak::yakyak::yakyak::rotf::idunno::hatsoff:

 

[skunkskinner]

OK makeumsmoke the balls in your court, or I mean range :grin:

 

[RC]

done? already???????? what's the striker fer?? meltin more lead? :rotf:

that'd be FUN to watch! :haha:

 

[dbutch]

SS Nice shooting ! :bow: ..Started working on my happy load best I could get was 4" at 25...My trapper does not like pillow ticking :idunno: seems to prefer the thin tight weave cotton patches 2 [email protected] going to try linen next.. so far it preferred 30 grs of bp...once I find the load I'll start making tooth picks.It was strange going shooting without a long gun case!..... Sure does look like fun......Dan


Jethro--Have you shot the post yet? pretty quite from your corner!

 

[jethro224]

Jethro--Have you shot the post yet? pretty quite from your corner!

Not yet Dan, but I'm a goin' to soon. The .50 is still loaded from deer season...

 

[skunkskinner]

Funny you should ask RC. That striker has a screw driver on one I use to tighten up the flint. Took two flints for this 2X4 :redface:

And yes, I did have to pour more ball to finish off this 2X4 :shocked2:

 

[Jim/OH]

Way to go skunkskinner, that flint pistol did a good job on the 2x4. :bow: I did one with the rifle, been thinkin on trying the Ruger Old Army on one, but it won't quite snowing or the wind get below 30 mph long enough to do it here. I think we got till the end for Feb., so surely I can catch a break before then. Even the shoot I was going to attend last weekend was cancelled because of the weather. :thumbsup:

See ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:

 

[jethro224]

Jim, You've got until the end of March. :thumbsup:
I figgered there'd be some crummy weather this time of year. :wink:

Keep shootin'!

 

[Jim/OH]

Ok, that sounds good Jethro. I was thinking it ran out in Feb. :grin: That may give me time to shoot the Old Army and maybe a .32 too. :hmm:

Thanks, see ya, Jim/OH :hatsoff:
