Got my first little buck of the season with my customized Western Arms, bored out to .58 caliber by Bobby Hoyt with a 1X66 twist and deep lands and grooves for a patched round ball. The lock panels have have been reshaped and forearm was slimmed down to make it look more Hawkenish.
Good times.
Congratulations!
 
Made up some paper cartridges for my Zoli 10 bore using a Brown Bess template. Also made a few for my .54 Harper's Ferry pistol using template dimensions I found online. Now I'm waiting for UPS to deliver the powder I ordered from Powder Inc. Thanks

I'd like to see some pics of that. :D

Finally got the ol' smoker fixed today.
This is what it looked like last week when it fell over and hit the floor.
Yikes..that's no fun...!!

Today.....the new frizzen arrived and I went to work getting it back on the lock.
It wouldn't close without hitting the barrel.
No problem..... I took it back off, put the blade edge ( side towards the barrel ) on the ol' bench grinder.
I took 1/8" off and put it back on.

Sparks like a new one again!
I can't wait to get it out and dirty again!
