    Default Another winter project

    Another product of boredom and cold weather. I started digging in the parts bin and came up with enough goodies to build a gun.

    Built as a "common rifle" of the colonial era.

    The stock has been bouncing around the shop woodpile for 15 years and has been on three other builds.

    The barrel is a .54 picked up as a raffle prize 20 years ago.

    Butt plate was salvaged off a musket I had to part out.

    Lock is a Siler. Set triggers were salvaged off a CVA that got scraped out sometime in the distant past.

    It is still not finished and needs work on the sights.

    If we ever thaw out I might get a chance to shoot it.

    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Very purdy. You get creative when you are cold and bored.

    nice job, everyone needs a parts bin.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?
