I guess I am an addict to these things. I just got the one on top. I have had the other one a little over 10 years. Hope to get the new one to the range tomorrow.

1st bp rifle kit I built. Traditions St Louis Hawken. Barrel browned, brass all brushed finished, stock is gunstock colored stain with Minwax wipe on clear over it. The modern sights though may have to go.

My couple of TC Renegades.
Both .50 cal. The double set trigger rifle was my dad's that I inherited in '05 when he passed. Haven't fired it since I got it. The single trigger, Renegade Hunter I got for Christmas back in the early 80's. This one I have fired a lot and it's accuracy never ceases to amaze me!   |

It’s kind of hard to explain but I just used a lot of curved files to smooth it all out but it’s actually not that hard once you start doing it |

Kit or full custom? @Birddog1911 Thanks! It's actually a .60 caliber rifle (Getz octagon to smooth rifled barrel). It is a custom rifle made by Ric Lambert. I got it from a gentleman on this site. I'm hoping to take a deer with it this year, but haven't had any luck yet. |

Just got the one in the middle below, had the others for a few years. All 3 are Colt 1860 replicas by Pietta. I think the longer barrel one is the only one which is historically accurate.
From what I have read people did cut off their barrels back in the day for greater concealability, but I don't think the factory made shorter barrel versions. Of course I could be wrong and would appreciate it if anyone could set me straight.  Attached File |

Lucky shot from a very windy day as the range Saturday with my camera on a tripod using the 5-shot burst mode (just like my avatar).
This is a Traditions Vest Pocket Derringer using only 10 grains of powder to propel a .31 caliber ball.  Attached Fileand here's the result at 7 yards. 1 tiny little hole I circled in red.  Attached File |

 Attached File10 yards standing, nothing really incredible, but I liked it.  Attached FileNon nitrided cigarette paper, from the Guns of the West kit. The small piece was in the forcing cone. So, I will use the TrueWave end papers, maybe nitriding them as well. Revolver functioned perfectly.  Attached File |

My first front-stuffer, a golden age flintlock I recently purchased from a good friend here in town who shoots regularly at a place called “Scuffle Ridge.”
This one has a double-set Siler lock and a .40 caliber swamped Colerain barrel. I don’t know who built it, but she will sure as hell shoot. I take her out to the ridge every Sunday that I’m off work, and it is a ton of fun ringing the steel at 100 yards with it. I’m still learning about these rifles, and that’s what I enjoy the most about them: there never really is a “last word” on them, and there always something new to learn.
