Nice! Like the P38, but I'd love to see some pics of you black powder guns. I picked up a couple of nice smoothbore and rifled flintlocks and I enjoy shooting them a lot. Need to get a percussion next time around.
Let us know how they shoot!
ok, if I have done this right

We should have a picture of hubby's reloading happiness, new Dillion 550 (thanks NSF), my new Browning 243 pump action rifle (first sale to a chick from C&F guns) Savage 93 .17 (surprise from hubby) bolt action goodness, and to end with a bang, new lower from S&W M&P lower with a 6.8 upper

Here is a pic of the left side of the P38 and one with the slide back.
Some ok pics of the muskets, I have no idea what to make of them. The 2 on the top are supposedly originals and the one on the bottom is a reproduction from a kit.
Troy, we'll need to go out sometime with these things. I have no idea on how to use them. Like I said earlier, I want to keep my eyebrows!

Very nice! Sure. We can definitely hit the range with them. I have a bunch of FFG and FFFG black powder we can try them out with.
If you look on the top of the bbl close to the lock, there should may be markings indicating what caliber they are. The bottom flintlock looks like a Brown Bess. If it is, it will be in 75 cal.
The top one looks like a Kentucky Long Rifle. They can be a 45 to 70 caliber. You'll need to use your calipers to determine if it's not marked.
Not sure what the middle one is. They can be a LOT of fun to shoot, but can be frustrating if you don't get a good spark from the flint or the vent hole is plugged.
Thanks! I was about ready to scream!!!
Pretty wild, we shot the 5.56 then the 6.8 and there was a noticeable difference in noise![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
and made a small ditch in the berm, and when we were sighting it in, ahh, I broke the 1/2" rebar that the target was on ![[shocked]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/007.gif "Shocked [shocked]")

well, we were new members at Sippican...but now they know who broke the rebar! We just joined there and I joined over at Wankinquoah. We are spending more time at Sippican since their hours are better for us.
Another Sippican shooter.

Wow, Nice one!
Jon, that is very nice indeed!
I don't think that the wooden plug mags had S/Ns on them, so it is strictly a "vintage" thing . . . of which I don't know what years they shipped with.

Beautiful! Is that your first Luger?
Here is what I got this month
1) Norinco SKS but it is a stamped receiver not milled
2) Universal Firearms Vulcan. It is a pump action rifle in 44mag. From the receiver back it looks like a M1 Carbine.
3) Saiga .410 shotgun
4) Jager AP74 It is a .22lr that looks like a AR-15
