My buddy, who is a machinist made me this:

It is a .69 caliber handgonne. Made a temporary tiller for it today, I think I want to make an octagon shaped tiller later.

I love shooting black powder. I shoot competitively now in the N-SSA. It's my hobby that displaced the SCA. :)

Now you only need to remember this 1 phrase:

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMstick!"

I keep thinking I need another handgonne in my collection.

Thanks...It is not vented yet. My friend who made it lives in the peoples republic of NJ. He was antsy about venting it, but after Pennsic I am venting it. It may make an appearance there. Who knows. It is only a piece of steel on a stick right now.
Steve- me too. I shoot the BIG stuff with wheels...
I would really like to get my NSSA commander to hook me up with his foundry, and maybe make a decent repro Bombard. Oh well someday.
