New Match "Skeeter" Pistol

kwhi43 · April 19, 2011, 08:01 PM

This is my new match grade target pistol. A Missouri "Skeeter" pistol. Has a
real Buckhorn rear sight, hole drilled in proper location in the barrel, "Coon-D"
target trigger. New matchlock speed ingition. Hedge grips with bark. Waddy
all think? I know, just set there and drool.

Are you bringing it to Friendship in June?
How does it group at 25 inchs?

There should be branches sticking out of each side for better balance!

I have to admit that it takes a lot of guts to build and shoot a homemade gun like this. Hats off to you kw.

So that's were Marble's got the idea for the "buckhorn" rear rifle sight

You just gave me an idea for a sweet set of pistol grips though, "natural" with the bark left on

I hope if your going to fire that sucker, you'll do the 1st shot with a 30' cord from behind a tree, with the gun secured to a tractor tire. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything....cough...ahem cough cough

Cool project

It doesn't use a cord. You use a piece of fireworks "punk"

Um....I was just making a joke. All of the "old" guns and home made BP ones (mostly small cannons) I've done were test fired for the first time with the gun tied to a tractor tire and fired by me pulling a thick cord tied to the "trigger". (while I'm standing a far piece back, in case of a KaBoom

)
