Traditions Blunderbuss

[cynthialee]

Nah, using him as a ballistic test subject is far more fun and interesting. We should do more of that with murderous bullies.....

I felt he had earned the firing squad. He murdered a fellow chicken. So screw that dude.

I have a small flock of chickens, but I’m really wary about using lead shot around the chicken yard. The birds regularly take up small rocks to help them digest food, and I wouldn’t want the shot contaminating the meat or eggs.

I love it and want one.

muzzle-loader.com has the flint version on sale now for 399.00 shows in stock.

I don't know wth I'd do with a blunderbuss, but I think they're cool.

Just a great toy. Fun at New Years'. Gets a lot of attention at trap shoots (but don't expect to get a lot). OF course, if you have a pirate ship, there could be a lot of uses for it.

Shot one of the young roosters.
most aggressive, mean rooster ever
loaded with shot and buck load

that must have been one seriously bad Equus asinus'd rooster to bring out buck and ball to terminate with extreme prejudice

buck and shot
some F shot and some 7.5, it was what was loaded

and yeah he was one bad dude, never seen such a mean rooster and I have seen a lot of mean ones. This one just took the cake.

Bet he went off half-cocked after the treatment - half on the ground, half runnin' around!

Was there enough left over for dinner?

I built one of those a year ago. Mine is a 50 cal and I haven't shot it yet either.

Curious on where you got the .50 cal Blunderbuss.

It was some odd website that had them on sale a few years ago. I don't remember the exact one.
