Heck I'm kinda embarrassed to even show mine, its a .45 juker i traded a few hours work for. The original owner browned it and put the stock on didn't do any shaping at all and it was beat up and filthy but i cleaned it up and did what i could with the stock. All that matters is it hits where i aim but she ain't a looker that's for sure😜 I'll get some pics of my inlaws flinters and pistolas

I like it, Bubby. I'd be worried sick if I hunted with one of those real pretty ones and got it scratched up in the sawtooth palmetto and thorny vines down here. My old guns got lots of nicks and bruises on them.

Thanks Eddie, maybe one day I'll get a nicer one but like you said I'm not worried about scratching her up

Man I've been waiting for this forum.

I got into blackpowder this year when Pappy showed me how to make a powder horn. This is the one I made (with some expert help of course)

Also here's the horn with my primitive pack, it's an old British Army Rucksack.

I decided to finally start off with a Kentucky Pistol from Traditions so the first thing I did after getting everything fit together was stain the wood and seal it.

Then I went to a yard sale and found a 70's or early 80s TC Hawken (with a scope, ewww.)

It took forever to clean it up but it shoots straight, here it is with my pistol.

Also I tried putting the sights on the pistol and majorly screwed them up so I decided to round them off and made it look "authentic" (not really)

They're fun to shoot though.

I have a stock from a CVA Hawken that I'm going to get a flintlock and flintlock barrel for next year.

Now I just need something in a .32 that doesn't cost $600!

I wish I had some pics of a friends guns, a mutual friend is a gunsmith and made him and his wife a matching pair of period swedish snaplock muskets that are absolutely beautiful.
