Ketland Trade Pistol kit from MBS (finished)

[Bob Gerard]

The MBS Ketland rade Pistol kit is virtually done; I applied the varnish a couple days ago and will let it cure for a few weeks before waxing the stock.
It doesn't look like a Ketland Trade Pistol to me, but it looks pretty good.
Looking forward to test firing it soon.

I don't know what a Ketland trade pistol should look like, but your pistol looks like a good pistol from the flintlock era.

Thanks Joe.

Very clean lines. It looks great Bob!

[Bob Gerard]

Thanks TDM.

Looks good no matter what ya call it. The side plate does give it a Pennsylvania flavor.

[Bob Gerard]

Thank you Clark. I got to shoot it briefly today (terrible warm and humid with lots of flying gnats to annoy us!).
The pistol is a fun one to shoot and at .62 cal it has a great 'whomp'. It has no sights so its interesting to aim, but can get the job done.

Thats a pretty sharp looking pistol. Good to see one completed. Well done.

Thanks Cory Joe. It looks a bit nicer with a new paste wax dressing.
