Got out my cap and ball pistol just to check it. tryed a cleaning patch on ramrod got it stuck in the barrel. my stupidity of being in a hurry. Took the nipple off poured some powder in tapped it ,pour some more power in then replaced nipple. Real dry here so picked a clearing that didn't have leaves and dry grass but had rocks. Fired out into that spot. That ramrod must have hit a rock becouse it ricochet off in to the wild blue and not found yet. Enough smoke could not see where it went
 
Working on the Carolina gun .... Thumb piece ...yesterday , then today ... Hmmm ....can't quite put my finger on it but ..... looks slightly different ... hmmmm ..... Pinned , glued , filed , engraved ...

Thanks for sharing ,I have a question about the guys with the nice long beards I wondering if any of every get burnt or catch fire .no Pune intended just wondering .

I’ve never got mine on fire but have got it caught in the slider on the tent ropes…👀

Not a problem, you just grit your teeth and rip out a chunk of your whiskers..🤣

In reality, once they’re caught between the rope & the slider those hairs are goners.

I have singed my whiskers while in a fire starting contest however….🤣
 
Shot my old .45 flinter today and shot great groups but everything is about 1 1/2" - 2" right at 25 yards.
I'll do some sight tuning this weekend.
Me thinks either the front or rear has been bumped.
 
Thanks Rob

I enjoy them as well.

Luckily we have several members who take pics and share them with everyone else..
So I can’t take credit for all of the pics.


You build a fine looking gun Brother.👍
Thanks for taking us along on those builds as well.👍
