its still a bit of a work in progress, but at the moment it is functional. I am thinking of cutting the forend shorter and bluing the metal...thoughts?

1/4 a pound of lead + 1/4 pound of powder= a half pound of recoil right? I can handle that

God forbid you have to use it in self-defense, but if you do and you miss, you can escape behind the fog bank of smoke it'll make.

Redneck · April 2nd, 2009, 09:05 AM

only police and military should be able to own that..

sergey · April 2nd, 2009, 09:47 AM

so when does it stop being a firearm and start being artillery?

If you can hit a deer with it using indirect fire..

Hm, understanding the hunting regulations, you can use buckshot in some counties but only a single projectile in most......

.... cal. 4 lead ball

Now that definately counts as artillery. Either the ball or the shooter are going to take off ballistically.

BeltBuckle · April 2nd, 2009, 01:36 PM

how much would you charge to make me one?

IcedC · April 2nd, 2009, 03:00 PM

holy awesome

shadetech · April 2nd, 2009, 03:11 PM

Nice piece. I think with all the smoke it could at least have been a cap lock. I'm not sure I would be willing to wait for the thing to go off being a flint lock. Should be fun!!!

Mdman · April 2nd, 2009, 03:18 PM

I realy want to shoot round ball out of it but I cant find molds for it.

and beltbuckle, I wouldnt mind making you one but im going to have to find a guy with a stock replicator because there is no way im making a stock from a blank again

HarEngSer · April 2nd, 2009, 04:02 PM

Is it considered a Black Powder/muzzle loading rifle?

Make your own mold. Find an art major and do a wax cast mold and make one at a time just for fun.

my uncle used to have something that looked like that mounted on the front of a flat bottom skiff. It was a left over from the market hunting days on the eastern shore. I never actually saw it work. But he said on the ice the boat would slide back about 3 or 4 feet.
