RE: I started working on a new tool for the homestead,what do you think?

Double barrel solves that, LOL!
They used to load one with buckshot for close, and one with a ball shot for longer ranges. They called it Buck and Ball, and it made a double barrel a feared toy back then! This one loads a 5/8 inch (15+mm) ball, and weighs 350 grains...That is going to HURT, LOL!
I like to dump 100 grains of powder behind it, that way, the target gets burned a little too....

Going to hurt you reckon? I think hurt would be the least of their concerns if shot with that thing. 😀
Powder burns...I like where you're heads at...Can't ever be too sure a threat is truly eliminated.
It is a FUN toy, not as functional as some of the others, BUT it is fun! It did a respectable job of the skeet range too, the barrels are true. Several guys with $5000 shotguns asked to shoot it....
When I was patterning it at 25 yards, the target had a significant number of burned holes through (and buried in the backer board.
Do you have 1000 yard solutions for a 20 Ga in your computer? Almost 3 AM here, I'm giving it up, LOL!
:)>Yeah, I bet you'd get some attention firing that beast at the range for sure. Remind me never to get shot with it.
I don't have any for 20Ga, sorry.
They were amazed that it did so well! One guy wantdd to buy it....
Are you that bad a shot? You're riding shotgun, remember.
Slim pickings on that ballistic computer...no shotguns? I don't know, LOL!
:)>I can shoot, have no fear.
Never doubted that, i was just saying that if you have the shotgun; you shouldn't have to worry abouf being shot by it....
:)>I'm better with a rifle and handgun to be honest..I did some sporting clays a while back, I did a post on it. Was a lot of fun, more exciting than simple trap shooting. My shotgun is a pretty cheap thing I use as a back up when I go pig shooting. It cost me $950 back about 20 years ago and is made by Fausti. Cheap, but does the job.
I don't spend much on shotguns, not my favorite firearm, but I am modifying a three round tube feed into a 10 round magazine, machined from a solid aluminum block. The spring is a problem, because the ammunition is Heavy; and the lift distance is long!
This 20 gauge I found at a swap meet for $50. No one knew how to use it...the guy on the skeet range offered me $1000 for it!
:)>50 bucks exchanged for 1000 seems like a pretty good return. It sounds like you didn't sell it though. That magazine project would be a good post for The Pew community as it starts to come together.
I NEVER sell firearms! I have a 22 Remmington Field master pump that I bought 50 years ago. I use it to train kids now!
Besides, this old stove pipe takes Careful Handling; and special knowledge to use safely! I have enjoyed black powder for decades, and find that the muzzle loaders cause me to hold target better, because the charge ignition takes time.
This helps with modern firearms too....
:)>I've sold some, but generally only to buy more, or to realign what I have, to balance it out and make it more suited to my needs. I sometimes see something I need to have (want to have) and for financial reasons tend to drop something else away to get it. I don't have mountains of money so have no choice. I just had to buy a new safe a few months ago, so have a few on the go, mostly filled with guns.
They call that horse trading here.
I like to repair and rebuild damaged firearms. Making replacement parts is the best way to understand the mechanism.
I bought a percussion derringer (45) that was being sold as a child's toy! THEY didn't know it was real, or that it just needs a lock spring...Nice 'kids' toy!
I have a nice safe, no guns in it, but it is a nice safe, LOL!
:)>Lol...Here Johnny, play with this toy. Did you get the Derringer working?
Guns in safes is a thing here. But there's other things in mine too.
I haven't had time...but a 45 derringer looks fun enough I will have to do it, LOL!
My safe is empty, but I will use it after I repaint it. It is a century old with brass fittings, I will paint it black with red pinstripes.
:)>Oh wow, old safe! Mine are new, were when I bought them. I have to have the highest level of safes as I have handguns but I'm not fussed, I'd rather that anyway.
Mine is an old Remmington-Rand safe from the 1920s. Someone took an axe to the front, but did Zero real damage, I will just fill it before I paint, and it will go away. It is about 30 by 30 by 65 inches and weighs about 1400 pounds. I may pay to have it moved this time, it was hard the last time I moved it by myself, LOL!
:)>Unless you're Superman paying to move it is a very good idea! Lol. Sounds like a pretty nice safe though. They made them well back then.
Well, I moved it the first time, but I try not to use my cape too often, LOL!
It is an Impressive piece of Iron, but a little heavy too....
:)>I just moved a small handgun safe in a few months ago. It weighs almost 300kg and is only 900mm high, so a lot of lowdown weight. It wasn't the easiest thing to move. Smashed the wheel on my moving trolly. Another job to get to later. (The wheel).
Wimp wheel! My safe has wheels built in, makes it heavy but mobile.
♡♡♡♡Lol, yeah I know right? It just capitulated after only a few seconds. Bloody wheel. No staying power. 😂
Or you are just stronger than you thought, LOL! Stop smashing your tools....
:)>Hercules!
Or Tiny Tim...LOL!
If they were easy to move they would be useless, they could just steal them, and open them with power tools in safety. They should have a homer capsule too!
>:(I'd like to incorporate a huge war-hammer system to mine...Anyone but me touches it they get boinked on the head with it, Thor style. Lol.
I enjoy electricity, so I would use a fence charger; maybe activated by a touch switch, to add elegance, LOL Not quite as nice as Thor's hammer, but you can get almost the same result, especially if the 'fence charger' is a tazer....
Are tazers and archery okay there?
:)>Archery yes, tasers no. We cannot have those. Some have them though...
Tazers here can be mailed here. The tazer is what I will use to test fire the black powder unit we talked about.
I use a crossbow to hunt, and I am looking at the air powered arrow projector, might be fun. Archery is significant, and would allow you to harvest some guns if they bother you....
I also carry Mace when I do security at church!
