What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[Dale Lilly]

Hmm. Dug out my eight holsters and matched them to my six revolvers. Don't know why; I hardly ever shoot a revolver but, man, I love having them around. There are three Colt and three Remington replicas. Betty claims a couple of those ... oh well. Other than that, I just looked at what you all are up to. Cheers. Dale

couldn't quit so i changed sights on a TC Hawken flint. put a globe up front and a buckhorn in back. give's me an excuse to shoot it tomorrow.
while in the shop i took inventory of parts on hand and came up short for the Tennessee Classic.
made an order to muzzleloaderbuilderssupply.com. should keep me going a few more months.

Good luck on the recovery, sometimes it takes a while, don't force it.

Re profiled another barrel that got too heavy for the shooter. Round to 16 then to the original 8 sides. This is an under hammer so the new front sight looks good.

No ML activity today - but I did go out with my two sons and got a snow goose with my semi. (I just bought a couple of ML shotguns so next year we'll get some birds with those!)

Went to the Lake Cumberland Longrifle show. Had a great time! Met Loja man and bought a knife from him. He does great work and he’s a great guy! It was a pleasure to meet him.

I purchased two punches through amazon. a 1” for .020 denim patches and a .50 for felt wads.

Boy oh boy, you guys need to quit falling. It's not good for you.

The guy who did the leather bag did the drawing. Impressive indeed

I don’t know what’s more impressive, the bag or the horse drawing! Did you do that drawing?

 

[TFoley]

should have them perfect in say 2074?

More than likely I'll have gotten the hang of it by then.

I bought a GM barrel and a decked out TC Hawken stock, turns out the stock has a crack in the lock mortis. The crack is oil soaked so superglue won't work, I decided to use a V gouge to see how deep the crack went, it went down about 1/4". I decided to replace the wood so I used a tri-corner riffler file to make an even cut out to glue the new wood in. Fitting the piece just so was a pain, I was back and forth to the belt sander about 10 times with 4 different pieces of wood before I got the perfect fit.

Glue up time.

Of course I made the patch oversized for clamping and will trim it down to the lock mortis floor now what it is in place.

Because the crack started at the lock bolt hole I will probably drill the existing hole out and glue in a 3/8" hickory dowel to beef things up then re-dril the hole.

Will do, should have the boxes built soon, the fly however will be about 10 weeks.

Hard to believe that it takes more than 60 board ft of 3/4" X 3.5" to build a box that is 17.5" X17.5" X 24". The 17.5" is so it will fit on one of those trailer hitch carriers/basket things. I use screws on the inside and underlay nails on the outside. Now its time for paint

I coned my Kentucky flintlock with great success.

Could I trouble you for the link to the punches? I have an old Foster patch cutter but its about had it and I have no idea how I can get it resharpened.

Thanks,
