I've been shooting and building traditional guns for 35 years. How about some photos?

No whats funny is now his experience is up to 35 years . when just 2 posts ago it was 20
Now he has been building guns for 35 years . But some months back he proclaimed he how he owned several custom guns . Supposedly made by well known people . That none shot as well as his TC .
i wonder if the reason folks wouldnt commit is becouse they found out enough about you to deside to steer clear .
myself i think thats it
LMAO the guy is a lopper folks . im out of here . have a good one
Be safe smokepole

I look at things the same way .
a lot of my friends enjoy the buckskining level of traditional muzzleloading . While myself an other go deep in the research and authenticity . But does that mean I have less of an experience because they are along . ?? NO . Very cool photo captchee. With all the traditional weapons to choose from, what was it about flintlocks that tripped your trigger? Anything you can point to? Just curious. well ?? not sure . many things i guess I think if I had to some it up in one thing it would be self sufficiency I had at the time been making my own powder for some years . So it was I guess the next step . I like the primitive bows as well . But there is something about flintlocks that just grab my soul . be safe

That is a tin type made by Claude Levet in Selma, AL. The frame is a period piece. All clothing is hand sewn from handwoven fabric. All equipment is either original or a museum grade copy of an original CSA piece.

One is an old Lyman Short Land Pattern musket that was totally rebuilt.
One is a British Officer's Fusil built from North Star West parts.
One is a copy of the Bullard Rifle by Mike Brooks
One is an American Militia Musket by Jack Hubbard
One is a completely rebuilt & defarbed Pattern 1853 Endfield.

Sorry I misspelled that. While you were in finishing school I was hunting with a flintlock.
I could care less about grammar or spelling. I'm a man.

Yeah, okay there "expert".
Looks like grammar can be added to the list of things you don't care about, such as facts, veracity, intelligence, and mental stability.
So, are we playing dress-up today, or just fantasizing about being the greatest (dumbphuck)... In the world... ?

No I just figured a metro like yourself might enjoy seeing a stylishly dress man.
