What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[pacanis]

Made a little neck/patch knife out of some left over file from a previous knife build. It’s a little over 4-3/4 long with a 2-1/8“ blade.

Let us know how it works.
If the file grooves damage the muzzle or not.

Nice little blade though.

Clearing brush with my Christian Spring 50. I do like a transitional rifle.
She's sure enough a sturdy girl, a little heavy in the butt, but, she sure is pretty.

Finished an exhausting deburr and polish of the R E Davis lock. It was a mess. All good now.

Thank you! The files grooves have been smoothed over on the belt sander but not completely removed. The file no longer cuts so it shouldn’t be an issue.

this brings back traumatic memories from days gone by! we didn't have paper clips , just used a sewing needle.

finally have the 1851 Navy zeroed to make the POA where it hits. An inch or so high ta few too many hits with the file but I can live with that.
Now on to the next project the Pedersoli Sharps sporting rifle.
Never a dull moment
