Last year I soldered a rib on my 45 "Kentucky Rifle" from Spain. I hated the full stock as it had that cheesy chunk of brass between the two pieces. Hence the rib to make it a half stock. Also straightened the barrel (it was bent) and poured a pewter nose on it.
So, while working at Adventure Camp (see my thread in General Discussion), there was some time off and I went to Rendezvous there to shoot in their trail walk. Not having found my possibles bag, I threw together a makeshift one (army satchel pouch) but didn't have a short starter. Tough to ram the balls down. So, I didn't use a patch at all. It does get a lot dirtier. The dark clouds overhead portend of thunder and lightning. Holding a smoke pole is like holding onto a lightning rod. No need to darwinize myself. That wasn't the worse of it. My reading glasses were left behind so I couldn't see my sights. I only shot 9 out of 20. Still it was fun.
