Thank you. I purchased the trade wool from Lietzau Taxidermy in Cosmos, MN many years ago. I don't know if they still carry it or not but they do have a lot of great items. I received a flyer from Crazy Crow and they do show wool on their web site.

Thank you for the kind words. I find it is a good way to relax and it also keeps me from doing things that I get in trouble for. I see you are from Colorado. I was a member of the St Vrain Muzzle Loading Club out of Longmont, CO and shot with the Buckhorn Skinners out of Masonville back in the 70s-90s.

I was thinking of swapping the thimbles out on this Kentucky but the alternates look a little clunky. As much as attaching the stock ones with screws offends, it is what it is!

Go with the pinned pipes.
They'll look fine once inletted.
There's also plenty of meat on the fore end.
Put it on a diet.

Careful using that bad word, "assault", might get something started. Hopefully nobody using this forum will get their undies in a twist!

Had me fooled, I’m a little slow(er) today.
Thank you Walt53, a lot of it is a labor of love. I am retired so I now have the time.
Hopefully gun people recognize it as a legitimate firearm type descriptor invented by the Germans in WWII with the StG44 or SturmGewehr 44, which translates into English as "assault rifle" of 1944. I have no problem with the "assault" moniker, as it's accepted worldwide as a term for a battle rifle, and it's only in the U.S. where certain parties like to redefine terms to mean something bad.
Ah! Just plinked at some cardboard. Fun...
"Longcruse" I see you have the Colorado State Muzzleloading Association listed on your reply. I was one of a half dozen that rebuilt this group in 1973 (was about to go under with less than a dozen or so members). Still low in numbers from the earlier year when over 1,200 dues paying members, but it has started to grow again. Fun times ...Now that's gotta beat a loading block!
Nice work Sir.
That's one shoot you will remember in years to come, keep him involved Sir.
What am I doing wrong? I posted pics and narrative in the percussion section yesterday, but it did not show up in new posts. WV percussion gun, Im looking for but Im not convinced everyone is seeing it.
