What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[WALT53]

Glad I did my shooting yesterday, today is pouring rain and supposed to turn to a big dump of snow later.

Oh yeah have your snow shovel accessible you might need it .

The wind does all my snow removal.

I'm guessing you are getting that snow now! The weather map says you, I and @ETipp Are getting a big hug from the same system.

This much so far in the past hour.

Pretty stoked the way the SMR small parts finished up today!

Ran 25 shots through the Investarm, some of which at the February postal match target here on this forum. Fun times.

Is this a kibler SMR?

Still rain here. I took an old knife sheath I had, and pulled the metal snap button out, reworked it so it closes now with a leather loop and a little antler button. Holds a nice antler handle knife I have.

No sir, that’s a TC Cherokee .32! Id have more squirrels if it was a smoothie haha

 

[longcruise]

Yes

Polished up real nice. Did you do anything to the lock internals?

Still piling up here. Not much but it's heavy wet and slippery. Not a time to be in the wood!

Took my 25 caliber flintlock for a walk today. Got a couple of grays along the way

Working on the presentation bag. Getting close. I'm working slow and thinking things through since I'm doing a few things I've not done before. No pictures from here on out because the recipient might catch on.

Finished a rifle storage cabinet in my work area. I always have guns on my bench, leaning against and generally in the way - if I don’t have to move at least one gun to access a drawer or tool I call it a successful day. Now I can see my bench and all the guns are safely stored and will remain clean(er) than if they were out.

Awe, you shouldn’t have - but thanks!

No. After looking at the lock disassembled Jim's finished internals are crisp and clean. Not sure I could improve them myself without buggering something up. Jim's locks are above the rest when it comes to internals. I really didn't see a need to polish anything.

Finally took my .54 Colonial out to shoot, it's a whole different beast than my little .50 Traditions rifle that I load with 65gr 3f. Definitely not used to that recoil so was flinching a lot more than I'd like. Overall it was good, but I will need a taller blade as I was hitting a good 6-8" high at 50 with 70-80-90gr charges of 3f. I'll do more shooting before I mess with it though to rule out human error.

She's surely pretty though Shirley.

Finished the assembly of the 58 cal Colonial. Ramrod is drying, then it will be range time. This one fought me every inch of the way. The photos make it look lighter than it is.

Forgot a couple pics.
