What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[64Springer]

Grip epoxied in place and cross pinned.

Trigger guard painted, baked and installed.

2-7 power scout scope installed.

16ga Frankenstuffer ready for some range time. Now we'll see what patched balls can really do. And if it fails to provide accuracy, I'll install a rifle liner with a fast rate of twist. With the added benefit of thickening the breech wall.

8 pounds and 4 ounces.

That looks like nothing but pure fun!

All I've done ML-wise lately is move the Kentucky pistol stock to a different vise (it's perched/impaled on a shim in the trigger mortise) so the new BLO finish can continue curing. Eventually, I'll wax & reassemble it.

Started excavation on my scrimming bench . Partially completed horns , caps , plugs , assorted files , rasps , pin vices and scribes are all buried under a mountain of !?!?!?
I can’t even SEE any of the bench top ! How did that happen ?

There’s something wrong with someone with a cleared work bench.

Thanks.

Really excited to see what she's capable of.

Stuff sneaks out one at a time and never goes home.

Made a little adjustable tool for marking tennons and pin holes. Best used on octagon barrel. Can’t say it’s better than dividers, but I saw one used like this a while back and thought I’d try it. Just a piece of 10-32 all thread, washers, and wing nuts.

Went to the range again with my SMR. I'm kinda getting used to a flintlock. kinda.

I need to figure out why it's destroying patches. First trip I used spit. This time I used bear oil from Frontiers. .015 patches from Eastern Maine, both pre-cut, and cut at the muzzle. I think I'll order some pillow ticking and see what that does.

Shheesh! If "they" hear that they will be trying to ban muzzle loaders as weapons of mass destruction.
