Here’s what I build when I’m not playin’ with "Popguns&
“Popguns” That’s what my buddies call my airguns just to try and get a rise outa’ me. Usually works too.:lol: 😆
Here are some “Real” guns that I built.
Springfield Carbine. Started with this…
Ended up with this…(And yes I know that the cheek piece is on the wrong side. 😆 ) .45 Cal
This one’s my favorite. Started with this…
Ended up with this .58 Cal Boxlock
You guys think one of Tony’s shrouds will quiet her down a little??? 😯

Hot Dog thats what I call making a gun look like a gun LOLOL you win the bid 😀 I got two 50 calibers but I bought both of them already finished 😯 like I said you all make em and I’ll shoot em LOLOL.
Nice looking rifles.
I was into the Sharps cartridge rifles for years and years.

that’s a beautiful Wesson/Ethan Allen you put together!
Still tinkering with the final touches on a Rifleshoppe Ferguson breechloader that’s been a several year labor of love…

When I was making percussion cap black powder rifles back in the early ’70’s we would put the barrels in the oven at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour and then wipe them down with a browning solution.
They turned out a beautiful brown/gold patina that was to mimic the original browning which was done by the owners peeing on the barrels and leaving them out to rust, then wiping them down and oil finishing the metal.
Either way, you have done a nice job. I can remember spending hours with my Exacto knife kit and some small files to shape the stocks.
I had a .50 caliber Kentucky rifle with buckhorn sights, and a shorter .50 caliber Thompson Center Kit gun.
Great fun. My favorite was the .44 Old Army revolver. That bad boy packed some punch!
