Sanded two stocks, polished the wood...stained one mocha... other one in BLO... tore down a trigger assembly...rusted...heck...phoned around looking for drill stock...nope. Sanded 1000g ...again...more BLO. Fitted captured wedges...blew out the side on one barrel channel...capture pins too big...heck and shuckydarn. Cleaned off my bench so I could do all that. and took a nap.Since the previous thread was shut down (locked) by our new moderator, I thought I would start one up again, as per the suggestion.
So, let's get this thread going again, and share your muzzleloading related adventures of the day!
PathfinderNC very nice.Finished up horn #59 today.
I'm surprised Jim hasn't started CNC' in the cocks.polished colonial lock plate and grayed it.
tapered the stick that came with the kit. nice rod, good wood. stained it with tannic acid/Alcohol, then Aqua Fortis. blushed it and top stained with cherry from LMF. wanted it dark and red undertone to match the stock. been drying on the clothes rack over the wood stove. dry enough to tru-oil.
love going to bed with the smell of tru-oil on my fingers. even the bride likes it.
started cleaning up the ****. Kibler makes them so fine that it almost doesn't need cleanup.
where did i leave that oil. g'night.
who ever makes tthem, they have very little to be done . one could almost, and i am sure some do, just blue or brown them as they come.I'm surprised Jim hasn't started CNC' in the cocks.
That’s coming along great!Done some more on the horn over the last 6 days.
Where are you off toLoaded the truck for a Rondy this weekend.
By 9:30 am tomorrow ill be ready to burn the black.
I never plan on winning, its the camaraderie of like minded folks that makes it fun
Good job!! The only way to keep this sport going is to get and keep the younger generation involved!I and 3 other guys spent 2 1/2 hours with group of 16 young men ages 12 to 17 teaching them about flintlock and cap rifles how to safely load, shoot and take care of these rifles. We had the young men shoot over 100 rounds. Most of them were really enthused about shooting BP. Good time had by all.
Beautiful workFinished up horn #59 today.
