Sometimes I feel like a squirrel gathering nuts for winter - when I'm gather gun parts for a Fall / Winter project... I actually feel I'm at the point now where I can start making sights and underlugs for barrel pins... Thing is I just have to decide what to build, flintlock rifle or flintlock pistol???
Well, I reckon I'll figure that out in a few weeks, or a month? :shake
Nice cool day today (for awhile anyway)... :P
-
Why not both?! would be good to do a build along tutorial with pics!
-
Mainly because I'd have to have the barn fall on me to hit it with a pistol shot... :lol sign
-
With practice you might be able to hit it on the way doen! :luff:
-
With my luck the front door would fly open - then the rear door - then I'd miss again as the ball would pass right through the openings... :Doh! :laffing

Whatever you decide, Joe, make the decision BEFORE you buy the barrel. Of course, if you buy a rifle barrel and you decide on a pistol, you could then make 3 or 4 pistols. Not true the other way around, but I guess you could weld them together??? :bigsmile:
