Started the day browsing this great forum. Packing up a barrel to be bored out by Bobby Hoyt.

Watching The Fighting Kentuckian on RFD tv right now. Good one.

Apart from shooting my old P-H Musketoon with a noob - showing him the difference between 40, 45, 50 and 60gr of 2Fg Swiss - nothing much. He enjoyed himself greatly, and with our local LGS in possession of six of them, he'll be spoiled for choice when he comes to buy one when his FAC arrives.

Got my Kibler SMR kit in .45 with a cherry stock about a week ago. Slowly fitting parts together in my spare time today. Also playing with some wood finishes for the cherry.

That looks good let me know what you decide on if you don't mind..... I've got a colonial with cherry stock on the way and so far I'm thinking just linseed oil and let time do it's thing.

I finally got around to coning the barrel on my .50 Lehigh rifle. Worked great! Just follow the directions for a flawless job!

I'm finishing up a pair of buckskin pants for one of our Canadian members.

Waiting patiently for my new Kibler colonial!

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

Worked on two projects- Mountain Dulcimer #133 and the .54 Colonial Rifle. Both just about finished

Very, very nice and the rifle looks good too!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

That little mulehide wrap I put on dried super snug. It really makes a nice grip on the rifle.

Finished cleaning the Pedersoli .45 cal rifle I was shooting yesterday. Went to the Cal store and Sportsmans Warehouse looking for small stuff, didn't find much.

Got the barrel and double triggers fitted to the SMR stock. Got the front and rear sights fitted to the barrel. The rear dovetail had one side that was unusually shallow, so I’m playing with that some to make the rear sight work.

Also made a third test blank for how I’m going to finish the stock. Using tried and true varnish this time.

it was raining so i sat in the garage with the overhead door open and shot my cva mountain rifle 50.
mama was gone to town so i smoked up the house!
tried 65g 3f and kept hitting low. ran out of back sight.
dropped the charge to 45g and poi raised 2 inches.
mama came home so i tinkered making some screws for my SMR lockplate

Dry firing my flintlock with clothes pin nub in top jaw. Practicing trigger pull, front sight focus, and follow through hold. Club range is closed until end of regular deer season. Also getting accustomed to front trigger pull without using set trigger on Davis #4 trigger.

Took it out for a sight in yesterday, definitely a shooter!

Like that color, what kind of wood and stain is it?

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

Received my new [to me] full-stock Hawken. Beautiful wood and good work. So I waxed the stock and it looks great. Betty wants to shoot it first ... great girl. ....Polecat
