What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[PathfinderNC]

Since the previous thread was shut down (locked) by our new moderator, I thought I would start one up again, as per the suggestion.
So, let's get this thread going again, and share your muzzleloading related adventures of the day!

Re-bluing the barrel and tang on a TC Hawken for a friend. Got too hot and humid to do good work.

My brass capper from Cabelas came in the mail today. I made a leather one on weekend which works good but now I have a plan B too.

 

[PathfinderNC]

Finished making a Powder Horn, which I am pleased with

 

[Thomas.bill92]

Read a bunch of forum posts, called some scrapyards looking for lead and watched a couple leatherwood outdoors videos.

Getting prepared to tomorrow for another round of instruction at Camp Raven Knob. Loading ammo, packing guns, gathering target materials

 

[Appalachian Harry]

Joined this forum and still looking for me a flintlock!

My trigger/sear spring arrived today with my new Henry Kranks catalogue. Drool rags ready!

Wonder how long it will take the admin to lock out another superfluous thread on the muzzleloadingforum.

 

[mushka]

Superfluous? I don't think so.

Make and mend day. Took the girls out, wiped the bores, oiled them and checked for rust( none) gave the stocks a coat of wood oil rubbed in.

Have not done it yet, but loading up the pickup with 5 black powder guns and heading to the range within the next 1/2 hr, going to make them safe queens work up a sweat today

Couple of nights ago, I made a 48" hickory range rod for a friend who saw mine and "had to have a new one" for himself. Gifted it to him and he was tickled pink (looked pink anyway).

Shuffling piles to finally get all range rods, cleaning rods, patches, cleaning stuff in one place. Next on "the list" ...same thing for caps, primers, flints. This will take awhile.

 

[RanchRoper]

Just scored 31 #11 Remington caps and a dozen #10 Remingtons as well. They seem to shoot ok on my rifle too.

 

[ResearchPress]

Updated details of a Whitworth double rifle in the Whitworth Research Project database.
Reminded MLAGB Committee Members of copy deadline for 'Black Powder' magazine (members magazine that I edit).
Confirmed to a correspondent the year that the barrel on his Parker-Hale Whitworth was proofed.

to do
- paper patch 100 bullets for upcoming long range muzzle loading match.

Cut dovetail for front sight

I will be traveling to south Florida for several weeks, so I started researching whether there may happen to be any good gun shops in the area which stock muzzleloading guns, accouterments, accessories and supplies...

 

[dkasprzak]

Got a little range time in…..this target is a total of ten shots….five high right, four at the bullseye, one…uh…flinch, jerk, didn’t squeeze…I dunno. All in all, I was happy!

 

[RanchRoper]

Nice shooting.
