Actually, these were my winter projects this year here at our winter home in FL. Keeps me off the streets most days.

Got told I needed to leave a range yesterday by the RSO because my smoke was bothering the other shooters. I was taught a RSO is never wrong so I left. Will complain to the board next month but not looking good as they pretty much support the RSO always.

While I was never asked to leave the range years ago an older gentleman, who was about the same age as I am now, used to become visibly agitated at my smoke. He could be overheard grousing about those #$%* muzzleloaders. I used to get a kick out of it. He was a regular and I ran across him several time for a few years. Today I still get rebuffed for my smoke but mostly it seems in a friendly, teasing, manner. Actually my smoke draws more positive interest than complaints.

Brand new, fresh out of the box, cleaned & oiled. Will shoot it this weekend.

Pedersoli Frontier .50 cal

The wife says she sees a buffalo head on the stock....maybe a little silhouette

 

[Banjoman]

Piddling in the shop again and made a 50 grain measure with a piece of copper pipe, a penny and an eye screw. Purty shore this should be worth about twenty bucks!

Good looking gun, especially liking the buffalo head.

 

[Omahkapi'si]

ok so my wife was right! It took me a minute or two to see it.

So my flintlock is named Chinook after the winds we get here, and this rifle is now "iinii" which is Blackfoot for buffalo.

Didn’t want to waste what was left of the fire, so made a backstrap biscuit.

Man, a lot of folk are going to look at that and decry it for being so plain. But fella, you got me salivating! Good protein, a bit of salt and pepper, and that beautiful brown biscuit. I'm not even going to ask - I know it tasted soooooooooo good!

Jealous,

Pete

 

[aussie pete]

Tingles the senses, huh?

Cheers, Pete

It was…. Salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and just a little white pepper. I use that combo on venison, beef and pork. Delicious!

Dug through some storage bins to gather up equipment for the Rifle I just bought from olskool

 

[longcruise]

I spun out some hickory ramrod blanks from straight hickory stock. 48" total length after the square ends are rounded.

I successfully managed to acid etch a brass sideplate. Not overly deep....my masking was starting to break down .....but still enough to call it a success.
