THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT the musket my grandfather gave me recently:  my first cap and ball revolver, I bought it at a garage sale and learned how to work on single actions.  . It is a .36 cal Confederate Griswald and Gunnison repro. I had a .36, so the .44 1851 Navy repro by Pietta looked good at the Pawn shop.  It is considerably nicer than the .36. |

The family collection, housed at my dad's house. All were built by hand by my dad over the last 30 years or so, none from "kits".
 Calibers range from .36 to .58, with cap and flint versions of most calibers. Not all are shown in this pic.The grey leather bags were made from German WWII aircraft fuel tank bladders.  |

A few of mine.
My non-descript "Kentucky rifle". Not really representative of any particular rifle but plenty accurate.  The Bess, possibly my favorite in terms of appearance and shoots about 8" groups at 100 yards regularly, pictured here with another "instrument of war".   And my favorites, the Sharps pair, an 1859 rifle and 1863 carbine, along with a model '62 pocket police and a '48 pocket revolver.  Both Sharps are easily MOA, the pocket police won't group for squat, but the '48 pocket model shoots surprisingly well. About 3" groups at 15 yards. I doubt it would do much damage to anything other than paper at that distance, though. Cpt. Redleg |

My .54 Plains Rifle. It shoots a round ball very accurately and makes a whopping big whole. I treated the hardware to give it a pewter look, just to be different. I like the look.
BTW, I found the cannonball about 20 years ago. It was for an 11" Dalhgren.   |

EDIT: New link to video
.223 then switch to black powder Warning!! this pic offend muzzle loader purists so be warned! About two years ago after having my sidelock .50 caliber fail to fire for the fifth time ( partly operator error) I decided I needed an inline black powder rifle. Since I already had a decent stainless barrel, I thought I would try making one myself. Once the wheels got turning I got the idea to make a Inline black powder upper receiver that would fit an AR 15 lower. I started with a 0% upper forging from Les Baer and made the bolt out of scrap parts. As this is my own design it took about a year and a half but it shoots good and doesn't kick too hard. More pictures here bp upper  edited links 6-7-7 |

so since that thing is a black powder weopon can you put a lightning link on it to fire paper black powder cartridges?
Just kidding but I am sure a full auto black powder weopon would be legal as far as that goes, just gotta figure out how to do it and make it work  But that thing you have built is quite interesting indeed. I am glad that I have happened upon it and glad you have shared it with us good work dude!!! Wes |
