Your Gem MUST be related to mine! Mine say's "but you made that one didn't you? sell something else, like that old truck you use to terrorize the chickens .
My 52 chev? i would rather sell my short arm!

How much for the arm? There's lots of times when a third hand would be mighty helpful - is it right or left hand?

Shot my Kibler smr this evening. Have it about dialed in. Scouted my favorite squirrel woods this morning. Next Saturday is opening day!

It was the Kibler extra grade.

Here’s an image that I posted elsewhere. I need to stain the ramrod…it looks weird not stained.

I installed a new Irish shot charger on my shot snake.

How do you like those? I’ve hunted with mine for 25 or 30 years. I keep wanting to try the English style, but now I’m rather attached.

My order of 1851 parts came in from Dixie today. Fit and replaced he hand and cylinder bolt on an EIG navy. Turned out very nice and smooth for my first go at cleaning up a very used revolver. It was made in 1968, internals were pretty chewed up. I also installed new treso nipples. Plan on shooting it tomorrow if i can do it early enough. We are supposed to be at 105f tomorrow, yuck!

I bought flannel and heavy cotton canvas at Joanne’s Fabrics today.

Flannel for cleaning patches and making char clothe with the grandkids.

Heavy Canvas…I’m going to be doing some load development, shooting under sized Balls out of my .40 calibre.

See how this goes…

I like the Irish style like you have. I like having just the cup of shot to pour in the barrel vs. wrangling the whole shot pouch.

9/2/22, I didn’t get anything done to the SMR. Daughter and grandson came by, I tried to get him interested but not this time. He will come around.

Yesterday evening--

Broke open a fresh pound of Schuetzen 3f and tuned the newly installed L&R flintlock on my .36 Frontier. It's fast! What a sweet shooting little gun!

The Happy Brown Toy Box on wheels delivered my new Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket kit, courtesy of Dixie Gun Works! Just ordered some goodies from Track of the Wolf to “customize“ her a bit, too!

I think my SMR barrel is where I want it. And, I began waxing the stock today. If everything stays on course I will provide pictures tomorrow.

I finally got out to the homestead with my new Pedersoli 20ga SxS flinter.. got busy and ran out of time but I managed to get one shot off from both barrels..
25yds 75gr goex 2F, leather OP wad, 1/2” cusion wad, .614 RB, OS wad..
Left bbl put the ball 2” right of bull.
Right bbl gave me 2 flashes in the pan then 2 more that failed to ignite the prime, finally fired and hit the bull (3” square) .

Hopefully I’ll get back out mid-week after locating some shot and I’ll dedicate a day to play with loads but first impressions on the RB are looking good as long as it will put more than one in the same vicinity!

Cast up some Whitworth bullets with a modified Kraenen mould.. Strange lead, used to be supposedly pure Pb for radiation shielding, but shows colored streaks of some kind of oxides(?). They weigh within about a grain so far, and will be paper-patched, so no chance of leading. I'll see how rhey ahoot.
