[Muley Gil]

Got a new sear for an 1863 Springfield lock in the mail. Need to fit it now.

Reassembled my Harper's Ferry after finishing the restoration. Well, at least for now.

Getting everything ready for a trip to the range. .45 calibre CVA Penna. rifle kit that was given to me many, many years ago. I plan on trying some .40 calibre conicals and denim for a patch, just for grins and giggles. Once tried that combo in my T/C with poor results. Probably have the same poor results with the CVA, but who cares? Can't say I didn't try it at least one time.

 

[YellowthornofTexas]

Made a belt pouch.

 

[Rock Home Isle]

Finally…I was able to create a window of opportunity, and cast some round balls. I wasn’t able to cast everything that I need, but I was able to get a couple. Another couple days like today…and I’ll be good, till next year

 

[Ross5403]

Shot my newly built Jim chambers New England Fowler with shot loads in the back yard.

 

[YellowthornofTexas]

Oh on Monday I shot my custom made flintlock.

 

[Gtrubicon]

Teaching myself how to slick up a very used 1851, ordered a new cylinder bolt from Dixie, then I’ll teach myself how to fit it. Then choot it of coarse!

 

[Rob Davis]

Got some new lead in the shop, and casted about 12 lbs of .454 round balls for shooting this fall and winter. Got to wonder sometimes why we do what we do for black powder? I for one love the aspect of the doing it yourself and the history behind the black powder shooting. Keep on shooting brothers and sisters!

 

[Rock Home Isle]

I really enjoy doing the little “chores” that are needed, so that we can participate in our sport/hobby.

Running Ball is fun. When I took 4 hrs today and cast up a nice amount for my .40’s today…I really enjoyed it. It was a nice time to think about things, plan a little bit, dream about past times…past hunts. It’s a soothing hobby…

 

[wganz]

Went to Brierfield Ironworks State Park in Alabama to get started in N-SSA shooting

 

[Rob Davis]

I for one enjoy the time spent doing what we do to keep on shooting and it is a great stress relief from day jobs!

 

[Urban Coyote]

Worked on filing in my elevation on my TVM Tennessee .32 caplock, almost there, need one more day at the range.

 

[Ballshooter]

Loved every minute of that day.
I'm going to show everyone else that wasn't there some of the fun this Sunday morning.

 

[D.Summers]

Wow, Ballshooter! Sweet long gun!! Beautiful!!

 

[Trapper Scott]

I tested my last batch of homebrew and started another batch to see if I can get it a little faster.

 

[Loja man]

I was at this antique mall and came across a smoothbore pistol! I found thier method of repairing the wood interesting ! On the belly of the pistol you can see where they pounded some nails from up top down to help hold the cracking wood together!
