Colonial?

I would have sworn that was filmed somewhere in Norfolk. Last week.

Superb viewing and well worth watching again and again. Wallace B. Guslers work is well worth searching out on line.

very glad i committed an hour to that

the main take away i had was why, if he uses the same boring tools and rifling tools each time, does he need to make a custom roundball mould? surely if he makes his own boring tools each time he makes them to the same sizes?

that said, let's hope this video doesn't get seen by the British GVMT or any tabloids... "Did you know you can make a weapon with only a small fire, a lump of iron and a hammer!!!"

very interesting piece, I never knew the pins through stocks under the barrel were holding the barrel down. makes sense, just never thought it through. thought they were just decorative. too used to barrel bands
