I was showing a friend how to use one of our CNC lathes this morning. The drawing posted above was as good as anything to illustrate the process for him. This was the result. Send me your address and I will drop it in the mail for you.

Black Powder Shooting / Re: Basic procedure for working up a load

« Last post by recurve on April 20, 2025, 09:39:28 PM »

keep your targets( or photos) with a quarter for scale.  you think you will remember but you will not. wright all info on target (when working up loads I don't care where on the target it groups as long as it's tight and REPEATABLE)


same rifle at 50 and 100 (2 high than moved sights to hit)


still working on this rifle at 50/100 a little to left if it groups the same  next range day I'll then move the sights most group the same at 3 different range days before I move sights

I don't own any of these rifles, but I'm glad to have had the chance to learn something. Thanks for posting the photo and measurements. Facinating!

Document all 5 or 10 shot groups. Make sure to use the same hold on rifle and sight picture. Only change one variable at a time.

Gun Building / Re: Staining with dye stains like LMF

« Last post by t.caster on April 20, 2025, 09:02:19 PM »

I use a lot of the LMF stains, either by themselves or after A/F. I have NEVER gotten the color I want from just A/F.
I don't mix my stains together and apply as one. I put them on one layer at a time and built the color I or the customer requests. 1st layer is always honey maple.
I found LMF and Dangler/Klien stains don't mix well. Different mediums.

Heaven forbid if we step outside of our little box and do something wild and crazy like putting a taller front sight on. It took a lot of courage I’ll tell ya!

Graphite? Rust? It’s a new barrel-cutting oil residue?

Taller is better, it can allways be filed down. BJH
