which of you enablers gave me the idea to build a flintlock pistol? i would like to send you a dozen wolves and a few Grizzley's.
I finished my last rifle build and was arrogant enough to think i have sufficient skill to do a pistol. bought the metal parts from a member here and dug out some black walnut blanks i have packed around since 1978 when I and my late father milled a Oregon Black walnut tree. i had planned on using it for making cases for some other type of handguns but life got in the way and i never used it.
seems to me there is as much or more work building a pistol than there is in a rifle!
