Shot/ball bag spouts
« on: May 21, 2013, 11:03:00 PM »
Spent a busy weekend at the lathe.Got half way done with a batch of Shot/ball bag spouts.They are based on originls in the book Getting The Lead Out by Karl Smith.Most are antler but a couple are wood.They range in size from shot to .60 cal.Hopefuly get the plugs done next week end then they will be off to Eric Fleisher for the leather work.

Thanks guys ;D Yea Tim I was suffering a bad case of "gunbuilders block" Cleaned the shop, then moved on to some tips. Now back to the guns. Turning is a nice change of pace.
