    First Springbuck ever

    Shot this little ewe two weeks ago. First springbuck ever, and I got it with my .50 GPH. :grin: Dont have the traditional outfit yet, but the gun was traditional nonetheless. :hatsoff:

    Determining Cast off

    This is one question which has been bugging me for awhile. I understand how to determine the drop and length of pull, but how do I determine how much cast off the stock will need?

    Tools

    There are many experienced gunbuilders here. My question is what would you consider as the bare neccesities when it comes to the tools if I am looking at trying to build my own first scratch build? I have built a few kit guns before where the stock came pre inletted, but I want to go advanced...

    Workbenches

    I would like to see what you guys use to clamp your work to have both hands free while working. Preferably some home made more traditional DIY jobbies? A normal engineers vice is probably not a good idea as it might exert to much pressure on the wood? :idunno:

    design question

    I am in the process of designing a traditional muzzle loader stock and I have been wondering about the wedge keys imparing the barrel's ability to resonate freely and its effect on inherent accuracy. What I was thinking is to do a hidden free float on the barrel (already go a plan on how I...

    Lock steel

    I was wondering if someone can shed some light for me on what kind of steel is fit for making a flint lock. Ive got a few components which I want to get together into a complete lock but I do not know what kind of steel I should use. Ive got access to a lot of mildsteel, but Ive got a funny...

    My new models are progressing

    After many months of searching I finally found a foundry who agreed to cast me my models. So I ordered two to begin with. These are Pattern 1740 Swedish Finbankers. They are roughly the size of a man's forearm. I got the pic from the foundry today, after they were cast about 4 days ago. They...

    Got my Mortar Barrel today.

    Well here she is. Was part of the Bowie deal. My friend built himself a new barrel and I got the old one as part of payment for the knife. He kept his old carriage for the new barrel. Now I just need to build my carriage ASAP, and stock up on beer and cold drink cans. For reference, a 340ml...
