Think they are like $20 each buy I mean come on.. its a flintlock shirt lolMight have to get me some of those @bassncrap.
In my long ago Pennsylvania life had a good friend, B.A.Thomas, from Bedford. He shot all kinds of guns but also kept alive his family's (and Bedford's) long rifle tradition. Enjoy the historical society there and post a few pics?Running around Pennsylvania, went ox yoke , store is closed to walking around but you can slide an order in a slot.
Trying to get over to 18th shop I think at Pennsylvania creek . Today I am going to try to get to Bedford historic society
Well, you can color me jealous. That’s a fine lookin’ shootin’ iron!Color me broke and happy.
Nice images, Kevin, thanks. You're in love already; you'll have a few nice dances with that fine lady!Just unboxed a new to me Don Bruton 20 gauge smoothbore. A Bobby Hoyt 47" custom profile barrel and a Jim Kibler lock, that amounts to 6 pounds of wonderful. Can't wait to see how she shoots and make meat.
Rut should start getting under full steam by next week down here in South Texas. Really do love shooting smoothbores. Color me broke and happy.
You hit high on most of your shots.worked more on the cherry build. finished the butt plate. did i ever....................... Yes. Yes ya did…
have a look and see if anyone can figure out what i did wrong.
Too much of that good bear oil lube.You hit high on most of your shots.

Your lube really did do well, I had less fouling than when I use mink oil. But, while I’m a deadly shot at 25 yards, everything past that is a guess!!! I just need some new eyes.the rifle, guy's, the rifle!
never mind the shooting, i can barely see the front sight and have to guess where the target is!!
i was hoping someone could see where i went wrong on shaping the stock.
TDM, that bear grease really helps in some of my bores. i fired the last rifle 25 times with that lube smeared on the patch like butter on bread and the load slid down the bore almost as easy on the 25 as the first.
i used spit patches last outing and had a crud ring after 5 shots.
if you run out of that stuff let me know. i now have 10 pints of pure rendered fat.
Hey deerstalkert. Do you like working on fitting butt plates? Just kidding!!worked more on the cherry build. finished the butt plate. did i ever.......................
decided to shoot the postal shoot with the rifle i finished last week.
and i used 777 again in the flintlock. no hesitation. with the 6 lbs i have from my friend i will never have to make powder again.
i somehow got the stock of this last build wrong because it slaps me in the cheek bone like an old maid slaps a drunk sailor.
have a look and see if anyone can figure out what i did wrong.
