Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders so it began - the underhammer build

I made some thimbles.



That's #2 on the left, and #3 on the right. Still need to clean them up some, and #3 will probably be cut in two.

Making a two-piece entry pipe using #2 there.

And yes, I did silver solder the tabs together.

I used an old brass plate from a door guard. It's important to note that they varnish one side of those, so that side you want to keep external, else you need to clean it all off if you solder. And it smokes like hell when you put the torch to it.



Y'all don't want to see #1. It wasn't pretty. I cursed.

A lot.
