Colin,

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Glad he is home now.

Thanks for your video updates, I look forward to them every week.

Happy Easter to everyone.

todd

Thanks guys, My Father is doing much better now.

Colin

glad to hear your dad is doing better. Things are always better when you know the family is safe and sound. Thanks for the video this week.

Colin,

glad to hear things are getting better for him. I remember the year my Father passed away.

we're praying for you all...

Rich

They say time flyes when you are having fun. Seems like every time I turn around, its Friday night and I am waiting on Colin's next Sat video on the 2 bore. I feel like a little kid seeing how much gets done each week!

My Father is doing much better this week. Other than one afternoon/evening that I was Judging a Forensics meet at the High School I managed to spend most of the week working. I still didn't get as far as I had wanted but it's progressing right along.

I might be just dense tonight but I'm not understanding the reference you are making, could you elaborate please? Are you referring to the Forensics Meet?

Colin
Nfl in reference to Forensics meant, to me, national Forensics league or NFL, which is loosely speach and debate. One letters at 250+ points which usually happens in ones senior year or late jr.

thanks for the update Clon. Cool rifle. Your son certainly had a one of a kind car for his prom!

Jeffeosso, makes perfect sense now...I just wasn't getting the "NFL" abbreviation. I knew I was just being dense last night but I couldn't think of anything but National Football League.

Bigdoggy, he definitely had a cheshire cat grin when he left to pick up his date. It took me about two years to put that truck together and I'm still not done. I need to get a set of rear fenders on it and put a set of running boards between the cab and the rear fenders to tie it all together. That was the first time I let him drive it without me along...it has a small block chevy engine in it and a powerglide tranny and is really light weight so it's squirrelly as hell in the rear end. Then on top of all of that it's right hand drive, so not the best combination to turn over to a hormone filled teenager but he brought it back the same as it left. My son told me there was only one other kid with a really nice ride at prom, he drove a 68 Mustang. He was pretty pleased with being allowed to take my truck.

Colin

Well it's getting closer anyways. I have a lot of full build documentation on my stolzergunsmithing.webs.com site. 8 bore build, couple different 2 bore builds, and lots of other pictures.

I don't think I would make for very interesting TV viewing, in case you didn't notice from the videos I don't communicate very well when I'm speaking on the fly...a lot of umms ahhhs pauses and fumbling for words.

Colin

Well the video editors can work miracles. You just need a few shop monkeys to add drama and fun. Gun shows are popular and your projects would be interesting. Sons of Guns is half guns half soap opera. Hire some good shooting eye candy and another assistant and pow!

This question seems to come up on most of the Muzzleloading forums and a few other gun forums pretty regularly. Usually it is being asked by a first time builder but sometimes just a guy who has never taken his lock apart. So I put together a short video on how I disassemble a lock and the proper tools required.

This is only semi-related to the 2 Bore build in that the lock I took apart is one of the donor parts locks for this project. But I thought it would be useful information to put out there.

WOW!

Lots of work goes into all the little pieces too!

BTT

The weeks just keep ticking by, the amount of video is sure adding up these days. It would make for a long boring movie if watched all in one sitting.

I dont think the post are boring at all. you just keepem coming our way.

Use to be I had only heard of "intercepting sear" but I could not spell it.
Now I are one.
This series has been very eduational.
Gittin'-R-done right!

My youngest daughter has prom this weekend and her and my wife are driving me NUTS!!! I need a video to concentrate on. Hurry up Colin and be a life saver.

I wonder if anyone would be willing to compile all the video posts onto a DVD?

todd

I think Colin may do this for a small fee of course. I would sure like one. Anyone else interested???

Hope this was soon enough for you Bigdoggy.

I might compile the whole set when I am done and sell it on dvd, it really depends on how much interest there is and what it costs me to have the DVDs produced.

More Progress...

No wonder the one-off, custom, bespoke 2-bore-brass-BP-cartridge-firing, Jones underlever, hammer double rifle is so expensive.
Gunsmiths gotta eat too.
I forget, is this the first ever in the world history?

Actually this is why all Double Rifles are expensive, it's the labor involved. Custom one-off guns even more so.
BUT, mine aren't as expensive as most people assume. I eat but I don't eat Filet Mignon and Caviar everyday.
To the best of my knowledge and research this is the first time a 2 bore has been built in a double rifle.

Colin

See if you can get the Guiness book of worlds records to certify it as the worlds largest.
Will you be making a removable stock for your two bore pistol? Might come in handy for "plinking" lol.

From my research, I can't find any other double deuce guns out there. Pretty sure this is the first.

BTT and I have the popcorn ready.

Hang on to the popcorn, it will be tomorrow before I upload anything. I was busy baling hay this week and didn't get as much time in on the project as I wanted. I'll sit down in the morning and get the video edited and uploaded.

Colin

Colin, we are waiting buddy.

Sorry about the late posting, it's been a busy week.
