Got a nice birthday gift today, black powder pistol kit

[RooftopKorean]

One of my employees got me a Traditions Trapper .50 cal pistol kit for my birthday today. I'm super excited to start this project.



I want to do some nice etching with a dremel on it and fill it up with colored resin and put some inlays in it.

Sweet.

Can't wait to see the build thread on it (hint hint)

There's really nothing to build. ‍

Mechanically it may be simple, but the artistry in finishing it could be very interesting.

Nice, but I don't see a flintlock.

It looks like a percussion lock gun to me.

Still nice.

Why? Just opinion of aesthetics or does it mess with stability?

Have you seen any of @Robin work? Master craftsman.

Happy Birthday btw. You have great friends!

 

[Robin]

Yes.

Shooting components are just about as hard to find for that as center fire if you want to shoot

When it comes to these guns I am very much a traditionalist RTK. I have no idea what you must have in mind with that tool and those resins, but it is your to do with as you please and most of all you great fun in what ever you decide to do. They are a hoot to shoot!!!!!

This is true, but they go a lot farther.

50 rounds with this would last you all day at the range (or likely multiple days).

50 rounds of 9mm can go in about 15 mins at a normal pace, or about 50 seconds if you start playing around.
