More flintlock building
« on: January 25, 2015, 11:15:17 pm »
I was trying to explain to the gal at the rehab center that I made flintlocks from a block of wood and a pile of parts, don't think she got it. I shot this picture of my last build, an English fowler 12 ga and my next build, a 40 cal squirrel rifle to make my point.

Thought it made a neat picture of the contrast.
