Gathering Gun Parts

[Ohio Joe]

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? 

Nice cool day today (for awhile anyway)...

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...

With practice  you might be able to hit it on the way doen!

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...

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???

Sound wisdom John. 

Fortunately I have a couple of both.
