    Barrel Maker

    You would be surprised at how many people who know I tinker with guns ask me if I can rifle a bbl. Its gotten to where I just say "Sure, the first one will only cost u $500,000. When they ask what in the heck I'm talking about I tell them thats what it would cost me for a button rifling...

    some of my front end loaders

    They all shoot well, the .58 calvary carbine type is a real shoulder thumper as its fairly light. The hawkin .50 shoots so good w/ the green mountain 36" bbl that I can shoot the eye out of a knat at a hundred paces(well, almost)!

    Well,I'm still waiting on my coleiran .50 B profile 44" swamped bbl for my Jacob Dickert "kit" from tow. Its been several months and as you all know you cant do much to a build without the tube. They do send me e-mails often telling me as soon as they get it they will send it. The only thing I...

    My 1st Flintlock, and 1st build.

    I'm also starting my first build and I was thinking I would take my time and it would take maybe a year to finish, since I have to learn as I go.I see thats about on par for first time, and thats with over 2 decades of working on and building modern guns.I'm learnin these front stuffers are a...

    Mohicans and their rifle stock weapons.

    I always preferred "The People".I have a bit of Cherokee and my wife is never mistaken for a white person.Anyway, the movie is one of my all time favorites.Loved the part where u see the kilted soldiers, strokes my Scottish blood.

    True Grit

    watched it sat. Very good. Did u look at the special features about the costuming? They went to great lengths to get it right.One bad thing tho,I now want a dragoon and they are expensive!I remember watching the orig when it came out w/ mom and dad at the drive in.I was no more than 4 or so.

    What happened here?

    Very interesting. I once read an account of a person coming across the skeletons of a bear and of a person intermingled together. amongst the bones was the remnants of a hawken type rifle.This happened in the late 1800's I think.The person what found them drew a sketch of the scene and assumed...

    Homemade locks

    I absolutly love it when someone takes some scrap and turns it into a work of art. Maybe someday I'll be able to do what you have done.People cant beleive some of the parts I have built from odd pieces of scrap metal for modern guns.I did it because I was po' and do it now cause I really enjoy...
