    Thanks Idaho Ron ... you've done it now

    To add to this and throw another rifle option; I've been playing with these PP bullets in my Lyman GPR. Not the round ball barrel but I found a GPH barrel for it. (GPR is a .54 but I bought a .50 barrel for it; dropped in with very minor fitting of the tang-barrel) I'm still working on this...

    Rust Blueing

    I did the bath method. Used a PCV pipe "trough" and poured the scalding water in. I did go cheap and used two pieces glued together (had them laying around in the garage) but it worked. Here's the link Link

    Office Display Of Flintlock and Accessories

    I've been contemplating how to do this for a while now. I'm finishing my basement and a section of one of the walls will be dedicated to a couple flinters, bags and horns. Trying to make it look nice and not haphazard will be interesting.
