Contemplated buying this to make a powder horn but felt it was a little large!

Acquired a new 45 TC Hawken and the barrel was a patch shredder to have the cleanest bore ever. I shot pre-cut blue stripe patches with T-17 for lube. My mentor said my combo was the problem. I took a ball and some 320 grit and worked the crown over. Now back to the bench with dawn/water mix and cutting blue tick at the barrel and group shrank with no cut patches. Then tried T-17 and blue pre-cut patches with no damage to patches. Looks crown was the problem and not the lube.
 
I finally, finally figured out what to carve for the tang carving. A Maple leaf for a Maple stock! :doh:

I finally got the other carvings finished and after the tang carving is done, I will be getting ready to finish the stock.

(Sigh).

The Doc is out now. :cool:
