today i shot my .54 Lyman GPR flint until i started to shake from the cold. good thing too, it's snowing.
cleaned the GPR.
punched out a couple hundred patches of .010 and lubed them with a blend of bear fat and beeswax.
draw filed a barrel wedge and fire blued it.
filed a bit on the barrel tenon on my whatsit .30 flinter. now the rr seats all the way.
posted my antique guns in the new antique forum.
started matching up parts from the parts drawers for my next build. have never scratch built a percussion rifle so that's what this one is going to be.
