Would have had access to one but a few minutes down the road, but my buddy bought his wife a dog instead of a laser. I told him I hoped the dog shoots lasers out of its ass. Turns out, it doesn’t.
Send them this way. It’d take a minute to design and cut the jig but after that you could easily run probably 40 at a time. The run time per blade depending on what all you did would be around 3min I’d guess.CPJ 2.0 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 9:40 pmWould have had access to one but a few minutes down the road, but my buddy bought his wife a dog instead of a laser.

If this just for paper punching a .36 or .45 will put a big smile on your face with very little lead and powder.Justsomedude wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:38 am Gonna build my own percussion muzzleloading rifle, making the side lock and all. My brother has a stock duplicator which will help out. Not sure what caliber or twist rate I should go with since I don't hunt.
36. No recoil, little powder. Green mountain has ML barrels.Justsomedude wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:38 am Gonna build my own percussion muzzleloading rifle, making the side lock and all.

I’ll keep it in mind. You can set it to just take a fizz off the powder coat, correct? I wouldn’t want to but all the way through.N454casull wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 11:39 pmSend them this way.

Yeah I was thinking about it last night after Wambli mentioned it and that makes sense. I could also squirrel hunt with it if I ever decided to do that again. I got to looking at cap locks last night and then realized that I need to just make my own or else it's just a rifle kit in the end. And I'm only seeing 45 and 50 caliber muzzleloader blanks on GM.CPJ 2.0 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 3:21 pm36. No recoil, little powder.

Was Woodsrunner's ML a 32 or 36 caliber?CPJ 2.0 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 3:21 pm36. No recoil, little powder.

With your skills and equipment making your own from scratch should be an easy project. Old time dudes made these damn things out of worn out horseshoes and dull rasps…Justsomedude wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:22 pmYeah I was thinking about it last night after Wambli mentioned it and that makes sense.

So very true, but no pressure added with that statementWambli Ska wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 8:05 pmWith your skills and equipment making your own from scratch should be an easy project.

I think soJustsomedude wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 12:38 am I may get some hate for this, but this has to be the ugliest revolver of the time. The body lines are horrendous. It looks like an aardvark. But I just bought an Uberti 1849 colt pocket pistol, because why not?

Pretty sure the nipple hole needs to be at the end of the charge. So it doesn’t ignite “two” directions.Justsomedude wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 6:20 am I'm a night owl AND insomnia sucks but this is when my gears get turning. Since I'm doing paper cartridges anyways, I'm considering my muzzleloader build to be a breech loader with a bolt action that seals the chamber with two tapers. Still have a side lock hammer and the percussion nipple sitting midway on the charge. Thoughts?
That’s true. His thought was that burning powder should push the unburnt propellant back into the case for 100% burn as opposed to out the muzzle. He was not the only guy that tried it IIRC but they all found out that reloading the cases was a HUGE PIA for very little benefit.
Oh NO!

Look at the original Sharps breechloading design. Closing the breech with the lever cuts the back of the paper cartridge and It’s an elegant and simple design. I’ll bet you could make that action in one weekend….Justsomedude wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 6:20 am I'm a night owl AND insomnia sucks but this is when my gears get turning.
