We got a carpenter remodeling and there are scraps of 3/4" plywood lying around. I suppose I could make a few more short starters. Does a person really need more than one?
Short starters from plywood? How are those made and what do they look like? curious...We got a carpenter remodeling and there are scraps of 3/4" plywood lying around. I suppose I could make a few more short starters. Does a person really need more than one?View attachment 195340

Well, truth be told, I made several attempts to get this on video. I was plagued by hang-fires thanks to Pyrodex and ended up missing several times. Imagine that... missing a ten yard target!!!! The one video you saw was after I had switched to black powder.One shot and off to clean it?
Yeah, I considered posting the "out takes", but then people would hear me cuss and know what a terrible grouch I have become over the years...I always enjoy watching hangfires and misses.
It brings out the realism
But it's like I told someone, the pics are of my better groups, not the bad ones
Looks pretty good! What did you stain it with?Finished the powder measure I started yesterday. I wasn’t able carve/file a very good circle around the lanyard hole, but it will have to do for now. Might try some darker coloring in the rings, but not today. One photo is before staining.
Decided to try and make the magic happen again this morning. Took a T/C Renegade flintlock .50 caliber with a Barnes unmentionable in an unmentionable to shoot at a water-filled plastic cat litter container that was placed approximately 125 yard out. 70 grain charge of Old Eynsford, 250 grain bullet. I missed, but you can see the snow splash just under the target at the crest of the hillock. There were some gusty winds, which is no real excuse. Tried again with different powder charges, but failed with those as well. I guess you can't get 'em all.
It always amazes me how the camera shakes when a gun is fired near it.Here is a regular speed on the third shot lag time was almost nil shooting unsupported . Its one heck of a cold day today, but well worth the fun. All total shot her 12 times had to wipe the barrel after the 6th round. Shot at only 50 yards, its only my third time shooting it, gotta start off close and work my way on distance as I improve.
"Happy wife, happy life."Received a CVA squirrel rifle, bought on this forum, and fondled it after unpacking. My wife took it and fondled it more. It is a .32 caliber and will be perfect for her. She is not very big nor strong. So, she has something to shoot that is lighter and will have less recoil than her .50 CVA Frontier rifle. I sent a PM to the seller thanking him for a great transaction, then I touched up some light abrasions in the blue. It looks very good now, and Betty loves it. Happy day.
Polecat
I had some left over alcohol thinned maple stain in a container already. Just wiped it down with that. Nothing else.Looks pretty good! What did you stain it with?
