Matchlock / mace

[PitchyPine]

I`m not going to get as far as i thought today, bandsaw blade broke and nowhere close to get a new one. So will have to cut out parts the hard way till i can get too the big city.

Pitchy,
It always amazes me how fast you turn this stuff out. Great looking piece!!! :thumbsup:

WOWThat looks cool. :thumbsup:
I'm curious about the rest.
What cal. did you take for your M/M :hmm:

Oh man, just see Pitchy with his Matchlock/Mace on a Grizzly hunt. :grin:
:hatsoff:

man, it sure dont take you long to get a project rolling ,looks good ,it`s just going to be too cool. not only could you shoot a deer with it but if you missed you could run him down and (ka-Bong) him. but, "me thinks you don` :bow: t miss very often"

 

[PitchyPine]

Thanks gents, got a little more done like the hand gaurd, lock plate and pan.
It`s a 50 cal. smoothbore.

WOW :shocked2: You are truly insprirational. I'm gonna have to add this to the list...but first, I gotta see how you make the lock.

Did you run welds down both sides of each of the blades?

 

[hawkeye1755]

Hey Pitchy, how long is your mace and what is the weight. :hmm:
Man, you are really fast. :thumbsup:

:hatsoff:

Yep, wire feed down sides then ground off smooth, or semi smooth.

UT, it`s approx 20 inches long, that`s as long a piece of barrel i had laying around.
The linkage is going to be fairly simple, a pivot system like on the pistol i made. I was going to make a linkage like is on a colt loading lever but this is not the project for that.
Not sure about the weight but it`s barrel heavy, going to be awkward to shoot.
I could of finished it today but i`m beat, will have er done tomorrow.

Hot Dang Pitchy,when you get an idea you jump in an git 'er done :thumbsup:

 

[snagg]

That's pretty neat for sure. You da man. :grin:

snagg

 

[coehornboy]

hmmmmmm.... :hmm: ...might have to adapt a snappin lock to one..or perhaps a pole-axe

But then again. always wanted to make a simple wheelie.

Keep them pictures coming!!

 

[PitchyPine]

Other than a pan cover it`s ready too shoot.
Have to go over it with some sand paper and steel wheel and smooth things up a bit.
That was fun, thanks guys and nice looking lock coehornboy. :thumbsup:

:bow: WOW WOW WOW WOW :bow:

I am really amazed at your speed and tenacity.

Are you going to blue, brown, paint, or let it go natural?

:v

 

[PitchyPine]

Thanks, not sure about the finish, prob leave it natural. Camera flash makes it look terrible. After i get it smoothed up and test fired tomorrow i`ll take a pic outside.
