That's really neat Mitch, and the sound of the blade latching is like hearing a rattle-snakes warning!

Really nice work Mitch.  If you're going to go to the trouble of creating a blunderbuss, why not take it to the max and make the bayonette too.

Looks good Yates. Makes me wish I had taken a few minutes to look at it closer at the Cumberland Show. I did see it a bit more on Mikes YouTube video below. Looks awesome.

Hi Mitch,
That is sooooo cooool!  What a great job you did on that gun!   So a friend calls last week and says "hi", " how are you doing?", "what are you working on?".  I tell him that I am grinding blood grooves on an 18th century bayonet.  There is a long silence and then he says "Dave, you are just not normal".  So I say to you, Mitch, you are just not normal.

Yay, Mitch!  This is going to be a heckuva good blunderbuss.  You sure do quality work.
