    Gun #2 - Inletting a swamped barrel

    Howdy fellers! I'm starting on my next gun, a .54 Lancaster inspired build with a 42" swamped barrel. The first gun I built had a straight barrel, which was relatively simple to inlet with a table saw and a router :grin: , but with this one, it all needs to be done by hand, and I think I...

    Next Build - Lancaster

    Howdy fellers, I ordered my piece of wood, and have my eye on a .54 swamped barrel, and am thinking about my next build. I hear the term "Lancaster" used quite frequently when describing a rifle, but I'm still ensure exactly what physical attributes make a "Lancaster". Are there any good...

    First Build Finished!

    Well....let's say 98% finished :grin: I still have a few nick-nacks to attend to, but she'll hunt! Everyone...I am pleased to present my .36 cal squirrel rifle. It started out as a TOW Classic Golden Age kit, but I used a blank instead of a pre-carved stock. The gun is not a...

    Prep for browning

    Howdy fellers, I'm polishing my lock up to 240 grit in preparation for browning with Homer Dangler browning solution. All was going well until I started on the frizzen, which as most of you know, is harder than a mother-in-law's heart. I'm assuming I need to de-temper it, for lack of a better...

    First Build - continued

    Well, the average garage temperature has dropped below 100°, and I finished some projects for the wifey, so I was given permission to get back after it. I cut out the dovetails for the front and back sights. I also drilled the vent liner hole: Then, after spending countless hours...

    First Build Update

    Howdy! I finished the muzzle cap and started on my sight and patch box. I actually ordered a sight with the kit, but decided to try and make my own instead: Here's the muzzle cap. My camera finally died, and here's the last pic she took, fuzzy and all.... Good thing the wife has...

    First Build - stock shaping

    I started a new thread on my build. I spent a fair amount of time in the garage this weekend on the stock. Thought I'd catch everyone up on the progress! At this point in the game, I still believe I have a lot of wood to remove, but I'm only taking of a shaving at a time, for...

    First Build!

    Howdy, My name is Mike, and I thought I'd share my first build with everyone, and perhaps get a few hints and tips from the experts along the way :bow: . What I've started with is a .36 cal. TOW classic golden age kit, with one small deviation.... I am going to try and build the stock from...
