Greetings, New guy here on the forum. I have been shooting something BP related, since I was 16! nearing 54, so it's been a while. I build my own rifles and such, mainly percussion but that is because I like Mule ear guns and have come to appreciate a good under hammer as well though a flinter wouldn't hurt now and then?? I have done a bit of Blacksmithing, made a knife or two.. shaped a few powder horns and generally just do what appeals to me at the time ( the wife calls it my Shop ADD, aka, oooh SHINY!) I started building with only a baby drill press, bits, a belt/disc sander, a router and a bunch of files , wood and metals chisels.. moved on into the power age with the addition of a 1960's Craftsman 109 lathe and later a Sieg X2 mini mill.. Have worked with a shop teacher bud of mine, we drilled, reamed and rifled a barrel he used on an UH 'buggy gun'.. worked up a couple of different riflers and between us we made him a 1.25" bore Parrot style cannon and from the drop, I got a golf ball mortar out of it!! Well that's about it? Respect Always Metalshaper/Jonathan
