Hi,
Got a little project brewin I want some feedback on from you fellas. I have one of them New Orleans Ace pistols I put together from a kit and have found that its pretty useless with a patched ball at any range beyond point blank. But I was thinkin that loaded with shot it might make a pretty good snake pistol. I've gerry rigged some wads by pressing the muzzle to a paper plate and cutting around the outline then cutting small slits along the edge to form a flexable fringe. They go down the barrel nice and snug and seem adaquit for holding powder and shot in place. My question is, have any of you fellas done anything similar with a smoothbore pistol? If so what did you do to make it work?
Thanks
Don
