    Tacky Problem

    I suppose it's up to what result you're looking for, a military-looking stock or a stock with a good story.

    diamond shelters

    That's probably where the idea of a lean-pee came about.

    Turner Kirklin rifles

    I have a first-year production of the Kirkland ..40, it was made in 1956. To be honest the lock is pretty much garbage, I'm lucky if I can get 5 rounds out of it before it needs to be worked on but when it does fire it's very accurate.

    I don't have any photos of my usage but I did use diamond shelters when I first started doing events due to the lower cost of getting set up.

    Help identifying this old barrel

    To me, it seems to be an iron barrel not steel if so that would put it pre-1900.

    Hole Through the Barrel

    Oh Man I can't unsee that........

    Hole Through the Barrel

    Correct pressure decreases as it gets near the end of the muzzle, but my point was more about the pressure of a PB load and a modern shotgun load, both are very low by today's standards. I'm confident that a well place plug would be more than strong enough to hold the pressure. But you would...
