What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[JimFlint]

Pondering on the John is as good a place as any. I 3d printed somebody doing just that... He sits on his throne on a shelf above mine. Print quality is junk but what can ya do with "sample" filament.View attachment 365670

Should be holding and looking at a cell phone for modern day accuracy.

Browned a colonial pistol barrel, cleaned up the machine marks on the lock internals, and now I'm sipping a lithe bourbon and waiting for my dinner.

Got the wife out shooting her new 36 rifle and she was grinning from ear to ear today.
Sweet rifle very modest recoil shoots tight groups

Tried to get my SMR sighted in. Again. All over the paper at 50 with .440s, .015/.018 patches, 60-65-70-75 GR of 3f Scheutzen. Recovered patches range from okay to obliterated. Buying some .445s to give those a try I guess. It is pretty windy today though.

Started a pullover hunting shirt. I'll tell ya guys, I'd much rather use woodworking and metal working tools.
I'm pretty sure you only have so much of that red stuff in you and I think my level is getting low after the many times I've stuck myself with pins and needles,

Attached a PC repro sling to my Miroku Charleville repro. A repro for a repro. They're happy together. And PC to boot.

Very nicely done.

 

[Hatchet-Jack]

Very nicely done.

Thank you!

 

[PathfinderNC]

A bit of horn work done. No master plan, just letting the design grow on the horn and see where it goes.

Thanks for sharing @Moleman! All the best with the rest of the journey on that shirt. Just a hint, if it starts to look like this below, take a spell and go back to wood and metal until the blood count goes up again. Pink shirts are historically correct.

How about a pic of it when it's done?

Cheers, Pete

 

[Moleman]

Will do Pete. I've never tried a shirt so this is an adventure into the unknown and ignorance as it pertains to sewing.......... nothing ventured is nothing gained

Got these in mail today, lot smaller than I figured, not quite what I'm lookin for, I found them while searching for a baby powder flask. Been looking for something I can carry a few charges in.
