A New Toy
« on: October 02, 2008, 10:34:18 AM »
Well I've not been around as much as I would like lately but that doesn't mean I'm not shooting. At least a little.  8)

So About a year ago I ordered a second pistol from our member gun meister... Wyosmith. Now you all saw the first one I got from him and it sure is a beauty for sure but I think he out did his self on this one... It absolutly floored me when I opened the box. And then I shot it and WOW can it shoot. With just the barest of load work I have it shooting ragged 3 shot groups you could cover with a silver dollar! It's a  .54 10" barreled flinter... I'll let the pictures say the rest.

 















Thank You Steve... I could not be happier!!!

As with all of the guns I've seen of Steve's, it way too pretty to shoot. But I'll bet it's a tack driver.

Hey Beav I'm sure you reconized a few of them?  :lol:

R.M. it shoots like a dream... if I do my part it will surely keep me in the running. When I ordered it way back when I asked for a real target pistol and that is what I got and then some!

Ya Jon, I bet it does shoot like a dream. Sure looks like one.
That's something I have to get. I've never shot a flint pistol. Bet it would humble me. I'll bet it wouldn't make much difference with that lock being on the wrong side either.  :shock:
Again, that's quite a piece you got. Treat her well.

Wow, that is just so nice.  And very nice pics of it, too, Jon.  You did it justice.  

(In fact you should really email an attachment so's I can use it fer wallpaper.  I'll save as it is and see how it turns out. ;) )

I knew it, I knew it  I shouldn't have looked .
Absolutely Stunning.
I would give my eye teeth for a pistol like that.
Nice work Wyosmith.
Cheers Bob.
