[Plainsman]

Finished up on cranking out some 44 cartridges. Topped em off with beeswax and tallow.

Refinished the barrel on my Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock rifle in a “French grey”. Used Brownells oxpho blue rubbed back with grey scotchbrite. Also chamfered the edge of the brass lock plate.

I went to the feed store and bought a pallet of chicken feed. The ML part of this is I saved 10% off for Veterans on their Memorial Day Sale. That's 55$ I can spend on my ML supplies. Semper Fi.

You must have an awful lot of chickens! Nice savings though, Semper fi

Since the previous thread was shut down (locked) by our new moderator, I thought I would start one up again, as per the suggestion.
So, let's get this thread going again, and share your muzzleloading related adventures of the day!

This weekend I planned to make smoke on my home range. I have spent the last week trimming, cutting, dragging and piling tree branches that had all but obscured my backer frame… Saturday was family time - grandson and the zoo, Sunday church and visited 4 of 6 graveyards to tidy up around the family stones… this morning I thought yup today will be the day. Got some new cardboard hung walked back to get the gear and my in laws needed help, so off we went and on the way home stopped at one more graveyard for my maternal grandmothers family. I “almost” made it but all in all it was a good effort.

Day #2 cleaning of the musket. Tried the brass breech face cleaner/cutter. OMG! That was full of BP residue that that the normal cleaning jag didn’t touch. Am going to find the guy that was on Sulter’s row to get both .50” & .58” to properly clean those calibers too.

I shot my Made In USA CVA mountain rifle today. It the first Ive shot it since adding an L&R Rpl lock, I also re shaped the stock and refinished it. The rifle is beautiful and just as accurate as it was before. The L&R lock has transformed this rifle, it’s incredible! When I got done with cleaning the gun I fired up the pot and cast around 200 of each, .490 and .454. It was a great day!

I gathered up all my parts from 2005 , I had started a 40 cal Longrifle and the birth of my second son and life stopped that project. Today I mounted my vice on a bench, got parts gathered and tools ready. I’m gonna finish it. Gotta get a mold cause no one sells 40 cal balls around here.

Mailman just stopped by and dropped this off. Wonder what it could be?

Took my French trade gun for the final morning of Spring turkey season. No gobbles, but a beautiful morning in the woods

Thought I might as well open it. A shiny, new Woodsrunner Kit in .54 cal! Luckily, everything was safe and sound.

been shooting a fair bit. Shot the sectionals a few weeks ago and signed up for 3 years of NML membership.. Did ok @ 25yrds. 93 on the timed and 91 on the slow fire. crashed and burned @ 50 yrds with a 58... haven't got anything back about my membership yet??? or any results from the sectionals???

Today I shot my Uberti 1851 Navy square back that I bought back in 1992, for the first time after replacing a couple parts last Fall. I definitely need to shoot it more often.

Beautiful ute. We see a rare few of these over here. They are sought after by the restoration groups. Give me an honest patina every time. All the best getting her out.
