Project Blunder, or Bust.

[Capn Jack]

@Capn Jack .
I was just looking back at the thread checking up on it.
I got some round bar .
Stuff stainless steel I think I need some advice on what to do with it.

Depends on the diameter, how long it is and the tools you have to work with.

Well that's what I want to talk to you about.
I have a few pictures of it but I have no .
Metal working tools.
I just need to know if there is anything I can do with this stuff.
There are two .
They where the shafts from a fishing boat
Two parts both about 7 or 8 feet long.
About 2 to 3 inch wide .
Solid .

Finally...Good weather. Here is the 1st range test of the Blunderbuss.
Patched Marbles at 25 yds.

No sights, just look over the barrel.

Very nice...!

[Capn Jack]

I'm going to start work on the butt plate tomorrow.

Glad it worked for you.

Blunderbuss firing

That dragon looks soooo good in the field!

I feel even Andy is going to call foul on this one, but I found these pieces of an old brass hinge in the junk box and they just, "Spoke " to me. Such, "Blasphemy" would have gotten me thrown off of the BP site even sooner than my Avatar did.

A brass peep sight...cool...
Why not...?
After all you made the blunderbuss , it ain't like you were replicating a actual historic piece.

Needs more ACOG.




More seriously, don't. The peep sight is cool though.

Clever!

The final piece. A bronze forearm cap. Part of a propellor strut that had unfortunately met up with some rocks one summer. "Making an amulet out of broken eggs."

 

[Capn Jack]

I couldn't stand having an extra, "lock" in the parts bin.
I think next will be a 9mm caliber, "Kid sized " BP Rifle.
