Runar,
We will need another video of this beast touching off at night to see the dragon breath!
Awesome project and follow along.

Runar,

Another wonderful firearm and the best part is being able to follow along as you make each part.  I want to thank you again for taking the time to take pictures and post the progress on each of your firearms......the guns themselves are wonderful but the lessons taught by the photos are priceless....the fixturing.... the type of materials you make parts out of....the processes used to make the parts......I learn a lot just from looking at the pictures !!!  I hope you will post a video of firing the blunderbuss when you get a chance.

All the best,

Hey moderators, do you think we could save Runar's flip up bayonet construction under tutorials?  It's quite detailed and informative.
