Big Smile [:D] btw fermis...i know you just wanted an excuse to play with your guns...cant fool me! Wink [;)]

HELL YEAH.... no argument there!  There's a saying... "A picture is worth a thousand words".  In this case, it is worth a million words! Big Smile [:D]  Only thing I am disappointed that Fermis didn't ask me to come up and help him with the experiment... I think I am only 3-4 hours drive away!

I've always done it by drilling a bullet hole into one side then, using the tip of my knife, kinda carve/slice away small pieces of the surrounding material (I almost always use basswood though).  Remember to keep the exit holes with "splintered wood"  running up & down with the grain of the door...  Practice on some scrap material until you get what you want unless you don't mind building several more doors, lol..

 Ya know, I've been asking for a grenade launcher and flame thrower for Christmas since I was a kid. It still is yet to happen, so I guess you're on your own for that one.

 I wish, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish I could help.....sorry

Yeah, I recognized "CVA" from  my late-childhood. Ages 11 -12 I built two of thier cool bowie knife kits. One was a classic, big heavy straight "Texas-Toothpick" style, the other was more of a "mini-scimitar"-bowie-style.They came with a block of wood, a couple blocks of brass, a roughed-out blade with a threaded end with a brass lug on its end. Was up to you to shape it, and sharpen it, and polish it. CVA makes blackpowder rifle & musket kits too. Hey Fermis...is that .50 a kit gun?

 No, not a kit, I do believe they have them in kit form though. Mine is right off the shelf, ready to go. Not a spectacular piece, but for $200, you really can't beat it. It has the sinthetic stock(black plastic), I prefer a hunting gun to have a wood stock, much prettier. Maybe one of these years I'll do some carving and make my own.

 Here's a pic of it, along with last years "BIG BOY"

Wow, buddy ...nice buck! One shot-one kill huh? I guess you carry a pistol back-up, right?(not that I think you might even slightly miss)Dead [xx(]   That piece does'nt look like I had imagined at all, but then , it DOES look like a hunting rifle. High-tech blackpowder huh? Maybe trade it in for the 'ole Brown-Bess????Big Smile [:D]

 Yes sir, one shot, that's it!!! No backups. Yeah, it's a "cheater" black powder, In-line, shotgun primer, powder pellets, and conical slug. I've been looking for an "old school" flintlock, but my "career", or lack there of, won't allow for the expence.   BOOOOOO!!!   Plus, I do like knowing that when I squeeze the trigger, there WILL be a cloud and a slug down range.
