It's a .50 cal
I was just telling my wife last night how every time I explore one of these old art forms I have new found respect for our ancestors who did this stuff from scratch.

For sure, there are a lot of skills involved in building a gun from scratch! Or any of the old crafts and trades for that matter. A definite appreciation for their knowledge and perserverance.

As far as doing it from scratch, no telling how many times I have watched this video, a completely scratch build, everything is hand made.

True enough Eric, been to Williamsburg (years ago) and watched the gunsmith for a time. Quite enjoyable.
