So the barrel I ordered from another member like...3 weeks ago, I finally got an update. Somehow it went from Tennessee to North Carolina. What's next? China?

Cast up some 311's this afternoon and hung 2 dried hides from last year in my doghouse!

Went to Joanne fabric and got some pillow ticking today, found a nice little camp skillet at the thrift store, and made some beeswax/Olive oil patch lube. Next up, cut into patches.
Added a picture of the receipt in case anyone needs the proper item code for the thick stuff I measured .017 thick.

I can relate. While trying to finish my barn gun this weekend both of my in-laws went into the hospital and one of my wife's friends passed Saturday.
It's been hectic.

I wonder if Jim can copy a Mariano Modena Hawken.

I hope not.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. I think that one is a bit on the ugly side. I’d prefer it be plain. That would leave room for individual customization, if desired. Or not.

Then again, that should probably be discussed in a different forum topic.

Really? I consider these just average sized squirrels for west central Iowa. I have seen very small grey squirrels towards Missouri, but have never shot one. We also have plenty of black squirrels which are slightly smaller than our fox squirrels.

I was joking, thinking the sign was like 24x36. They look average size

Today I inlaid a barrel pin escutcheon.

 

[AnotherHawkenGuy]

Painted my war shirt today…Never again! lol Tired!

 

[Erwan]

I just made a spring on a revolver that I got for free from a guy who had tried to do it before me. An hour's work and a piece of steel, that's a good price for a Pietta 1851, I think....
