My .54 Plains Rifle. It shoots a round ball very accurately and makes a whopping big whole. I treated the hardware to give it a pewter look, just to be different. I like the look.
BTW, I found the cannonball about 20 years ago. It was for an 11" Dalhgren. http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/plainsrifle2.jpg http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/garand%20005.jpg |

That is possibly the coolest muzzle loader I have ever seen. Where did you find such a creature? |

.223 then switch to black powder Warning!! this pic offend muzzle loader purists so be warned! About two years ago after having my sidelock .50 caliber fail to fire for the fifth time ( partly operator error) I decided I needed an inline black powder rifle. Since I already had a decent stainless barrel, I thought I would try making one myself. Once the wheels got turning I got the idea to make a Inline black powder upper receiver that would fit an AR 15 lower. I started with a 0% upper forging from Les Baer and made the bolt out of scrap parts. As this is my own design it took about a year and a half but it shoots good and doesn't kick too hard.

so since that thing is a black powder weopon can you put a lightning link on it to fire paper black powder cartridges?
Just kidding but I am sure a full auto black powder weopon would be legal as far as that goes, just gotta figure out how to do it and make it work But that thing you have built is quite interesting indeed. I am glad that I have happened upon it and glad you have shared it with us good work dude!!! Wes |

Me too. This is my .58 Hawken fullstock, Sharon barrel, L&R Manton lock: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-12/540749/Hawken58a.jpg |

The more I look at this rifle the more I like it. Are the Sharon barrels typically round? Nice possible bag and accouttrements. |

wasnt there recently a case of a convicted felon being caught with a black powder firearm and it was ruled that a felon couldnt possess even a BP firearm??
there was something about that here on ARFCOM.. |

Looks like the Brady Rod and Gun Club rifle range right there, am I correct? |

Yes it is the Brady Rod and Gun Club Range, however the TMLRA (Texas Muzzleloading Rifle Association) takes care of the range currently. The local Heart of Texas Muzzleloders club shoots there and watches over the range as well. We shoot there several times a year it is a great place to gather and shoot. |

So where did you get the parts for the Type G? Way back when I paid a custom maker a lot of money to be able to have a Type G insted of the plethora of French, Northwest and Cheifs Grade Trade guns that were the common ones on the reproduction market. |

Well mounted and doubly well armed: each man has 1 or 2 Colt revolvers besides ordinary pistols, a sword, and every man a rifle. All sorts of coats, blankets, and head-gear, but they are strong athletic fellows. The Mexicans are terribly afraid of them
|
Yep, treated somehow to prevent seepage. Rubber was VERY scarce, especially towards the end of the war would be my guess as to why. |

The majority of the parts are hand made out of sheet brass (like the orgionals)...Trigger guard, thumb plate, sideplate, butt plate (measured off an orgional Type G). The barrel is a Collrain (sp?) not correct because it is only 30" and 20guage. It also has a double wedding band. The lock is a Jim Chambers round face lock (close to orgional but the plate is a little too short, and it has a support on the bridle and frizzen). THe thimbles are from Jack Brooks (again formed from dies that he made to replicate the orgionals). All the engraving was done by me. I know what you mean. At the rondys out here the smoothbore itself something of a rarity but the majority are the NorthWest or Tulle for sure. Like you I wanted something different, Engilsh and earlier than the NorthWest. |

Gorilla,

Sadly, the collection I posted pics of on page one has been dispersed since my father passed away in March. I'll take some good pics of the ones I wound up with, maybe later today.

gus, Sorry to hear of your loss. That was one of the most complete collections of rifles I have seen in a while. Hopefully they will all end up with family who will appreciate them and use them. |

We divided them among us sons, and gave a few to close friends of my dad. I doubt any of them will ever be fired again though. I do plan on keeping at least one of mine active. |
