Powder Horn History#8
« on: August 01, 2020, 09:31:43 PM »
Reposting old threads that were lost after the forum cleanup from broken threads or lost pics from photobucket, here's an early build from 10 or so years ago. Maybe some one can use it as a reference or  ideas for their own build! This one is another lesson in the use of the golden mean, the throat on this is again too short, the step down of the throat panel should have started about the rear leg of the staple
