Winter boredom has driven me to build a Kentuck' flint-fired-muzzle-stuffer.
See everyone is still live and kickin' so will check in again at a later date...Cheers!

PS; Crossfireoops, be nice to the ILLEGALS or they will confiscate your property complements of the Mexicano Government <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Flinters rock....! ( pun intended)

Yup, seems that Vicente Fox is on some sorta roll, Joe.

Military, or Cartelistas masquerading as military?

Regardless, it's still armed incursion.

GTC

Hmm!
Maybe we need a couple of Battalions of "1000 yd. Sharps Shooters" down there to hold back the armed invaders!
Idajo,
I built one myself from some old parts that I had left over from building them many years ago during my college days- nice .40 Douglas barrel & pretty nice curly maple- shoots nice! But I use a Dixie (made in Japan) Tenn, Mtn. Rifle ( found it cheap in an estate sale- barely shot) in .50 Flint for ML matches. I think that shooting flint offhand is great training for follow through with BPCR's! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> ..Dennis

Crossfire/Pathfinder: I have not given up on BPCR, just wanted to build something that I have not done before. Always found the long-slender 'swamped barreled' nose-heavy long rifles held rock steady on offhand. I realize that this does not really belong here, but it sure don't belong on the muzzleloader frame with the TC's and Knights, either!
This is not my rifle, but I am going to build something from the same North Carolina "school".


PS: [re: the Southern border] I was always taught that in a shoot-out you were the only one to leave, that way the story was undisputed! (surprised that there is not a big demand for tractors with backhoes down there... Crossfire, maybe you should buy one and rent it out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

Just remember Kid's play with capguns. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Dang nice rifle. I am partial to those Carolina style rifles too. I built a .54 flinter that way.

Brent

I'm about to build me a .36 Flinter...sort of a generic blend of the Penn/Kentucky/whatever...from Tracks. Will use a small Siler on it, mebbe change a few minor details along the way. Ought to be fun...I hope...


I have a lot of Non-PC thoughts about the Southern Border. Probably I don't have to go on a roll with them...thinking most of you already know... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

While back I had a job and no gun projects. Now I have no job and 7 gun projects. Unemployment is a good thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

1 Flinter
3 recoil pads
1 Stock reshape and finish
1 .22 short shooter bolt, very light, very odd.
I lust for a Sharps so much it must be a project too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Just finished bedding the buttstock on a Contender...been needing that for some time.

Other things I do include going off on a tangent on an off subject topic at every opportunity. Been doing some red cedar sculpture of sorts(crap makes me sneeze alot, even with a respirator), and working on an old boat which I like but girls and ladies don't because it's too small. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

So anyway, Idahjo your topic is fine with me. If you know anything about my background at AR you know I have no problem hijacking an entire forum...forever. Good luck with your flinter!

OK, I'll bite,

What's this Southern border you boys are alluding to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

That would be the one most porous at the moment. Not to be confused with the US/Canadian Border.

OOPSE,

My eyes are blue, not brown, so crap hasen't made it to the top yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh, by the way, I told Ron to punch you in the arm. Now if he happens to hit higher up, that's his doings <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

Kelley O.

He dare not....I've told him about the risks involved in getting stuck with a push pin, when least expecting it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

That was one of the best ideas you West coasters ever came up with. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hopin' you fellows had a fine shoot, and lookin' foward to hereing all about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

GTC <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Had I been There, I'd be thereing all about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

..............But since I was Here, I'll be Hereing about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

isn't that a long and tedious....though clever, way to cover up a typo? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
