Title: Calling it done……finally!
Post by: mikeyfirelock on June 30, 2025, 04:30:46 AM: I think I have this .40 cal. Flinter finally done, It’s been a long term project. My first pic in the laptop was dated last June ! At any rate all that’s left is to drill the touch hole.
I’m looking forward to getting it sighted in and shooting at our monthly matches at Fort Tassinong here in NW Indiana.!!

I think you’ll like the .40.

You are welcome anytime. ( it’s a long way for you ….maybr we could meet up “ in the middle” sometime. There must be someone in the “middle we could stop and have lunch with ?)
