New Frontier caplock
Took it to the range this afternoon, 50 yds off hand in a 50km crosswind. I filed the front sight down some to get this result. After this I was ringing steel at 50/75/100 yds and quite enjoyed myself.

Yeah, when I looked at the above picture the first thing I thought is you could fire the ball on Wednesday which would then clear the muzzle on Thursday.fortyshooter wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 9:16 amYep you got a great shooter there RR! But then with that thing the muzzle was half way to the target!
What a fine looking firearm and that target ain’t too bad neither

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
