let's see your black powder guns - Page 3

Wyosmith · April 25, 2017, 11:03 AM

Thanks guys. That was kind to say.

if anyone wants to look at other types of muzzleloaders, say so, and if I have made that type, (and if I took pics of it) I'll post those pictures too.

Hawg · April 25, 2017, 11:58 AM

Love those Hawkens but absolutely drooling over the Lancasters.

Bishop Creek · April 25, 2017, 02:26 PM

I agree with Hawg, beautiful rifles. Really like the Hawkins.

AKexpat · April 25, 2017, 07:28 PM

I am just into 1851 Navy repros but the wood work on the guns you posted is beyond spectacular!!

Thanks for allowing all of us to see your great work! I, for one, am thoroughly impressed with it and would give anything to be that talented.

As far as I am concerned you can post anything you have ever accomplished. We all love nice guns. You might even get some new work.

Jim

Wyosmith · April 25, 2017, 07:56 PM

well thanks Jim.

What others do you like.

I have some Jaeger pictures,
some English guns,
Southern guns,
flintlock pistols.

I probably have pics of maybe 20% I have made. Many of my guns were never photographed because I have been building muzzleloaders since I was 14, and I have only owned a camera for maybe 15 years of my life.
I'll be 61 very soon.

I have been too, and I will be 17 this winter

Hawg · April 25, 2017, 08:54 PM

It just amazes me as I have no woodworking talent whatsoever.

Wyosmith · April 25, 2017, 09:37 PM

Sixgunnin, 17 is a great age to be. I was 17 once.....long ago, ------------- in the dark ages....................

When dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Ah yes, I can almost smell the tantalizing aroma of Stegosaurus tenderloin roasting on an open fire.

Wyosmith · April 26, 2017, 08:08 AM

Yeah............they were big fires too.
Remember?

Hawg · April 26, 2017, 10:08 AM

They had to be when a critter dresses out at around 4000 lbs.

I saw a painting of a scene where prehistoric hunters were standing inside a mammoth's rib cage, butchering, and handing out chunks. I want to do that so bad.

AKexpat · April 27, 2017, 04:02 PM

Lee,

You have to learn how to resize your pics to fit the web page, sir.

Otherwise we don't see much of anything. Please do take not that as a cut.

Yeah, wooly mammoths were pretty big, but not so much as a mastodon which lived about the same time in warmer climes in North America at the time.

I am sure it took many spear thrusts from many men to penetrate the hair and hide of a wooly mammoth. Those people must have learned how to preserve that much meat, no matter the animal, whether is was smoking, drying, or whatever to sustain themselves between kills. I am very curious if they used the liver, heart, kidneys, trunk, tongue, and other parts to sustain themselves and how it was preserved in an era of no refrigeration and how they stored it.

Looking for answers. Anyone have a good recipe for elephant meat?

Jim

Lee,

I love the looks of your Walker! I do not own one, but I am entertaining a repro 2nd Model Dragoon. I already have a fantasy Pietta 1851 Navy Dragoon .36 The 1851 Navy brasser is a .44: not my kind since I do only .36 Navy repros. Nice looking but not near historical, sir.

I want a repro Dance and Brothers .36 based upon an 1851 Navy frame, preferably Pietta so I can exchange parts. It does not look like it will happen soon.

Jim

Oliver Sudden · May 8, 2017, 08:30 PM

Black powder and lead bullets shoot well too.

Fingers McGee · May 8, 2017, 10:37 PM

How about a pair of stainless steel Uberti 1851 Navies?

Kevin Rohrer · May 9, 2017, 07:30 AM

A 1/2-scale, US 1841 Field Howitzer. Am currently working-up a load for blank charges. The next loads I will be trying are 3oz of Cannon, and 2.5oz 2F; both w/ Cremora coffee creamer powder as a filler. The bore is 1.75".

Boom! Big bada-boom!

Beagle333 · May 9, 2017, 08:37 AM

Now that's a gun! Nice cannon!!!

Lee44ShooterCnB · May 10, 2017, 04:58 PM

That is one very nice, neat looking cannon
Bet it is a hoot to shoot
Especially 4th and other holidays
