Awesome Muskets

[mydeacs]

I was just about to jump out of the window through dispair and depression when i accidently brought a large number of smelly old muskets. They arrived today and im going to start renovating muskets. Im totally going to do it and they wont spend the next 10 years under my bed or anything.

Im going to details the renovations here.

I thought i would take this site a bit more seriously and started deleting threads but unfortunatly some of them are so funny I cant bring myself to do ir. I deleted a few and already I wish I hadnt.

I actually laughed out loud after reading what I wrote, it made me want to cry knowing the most awesome person 1 million miles from me is me. I found it hard to believe that I laughed. I spend ages trying to find things that are not government propoganda and deadly dull and all the while I just have to read stuff ive written.

Anyway, when I finish a musket im going to sell it on this site so I want to get rid of anything that makes me look like the laughing stock of the psychopathic gun weilding world with peculiar antisocial tendencies and want to rather look like a really ordinary British citizen that totally likes the governemnt and everything and totally not like the sort of person that would fill his musket with fireworks and marble and set it off with a joint or something. thats totally not me at all and to proove it im not going to clean any of the barrel insides like the people in america do where they can fire guns and laugh and smile and frollick in the sun and all that. I dont want any of that, im proud to be british and live in acute dispair and agonising suicidal depression on a daily basis because where stoic like that and never grumble and have stiff upper lips and everything.

I brought these guns for about £70-80 each and im going to seel them for £300-500 each regardless. I probably wont sell any but im going to try. Not that I care about the money, but I wouldnt mind make a good profit. I dont think they are probably worth that much but the point is they are refurbished by ME which makes them double awesome. 

Whats more members of the British Police state are welcome to buy them including secret undercover arms police , MI5, and all those other organisations that dont exist. Payment will be in bullion or bank transfer or cheque.

I would also like to say that as well as spending a huge amount of the rusty old woodeny things I also brought:

Sonic cleaner tank 2L
paint stripper
boiled linceed oil
pin hitter outers 1.5mm and up
white spitis
brushes

I already have wire wool and screew drivers and a swiss army knife.

Ive already started on a carbine as a test. I had to get the big mettaly screw out the top and it was totally seized and so i drilled a 1mm hole in the screw end, not the top, and then a 2mm hole and then used grips to turn it and it came out and whats more I can still use it. The amazing thing is that I messed up the screw head trying to get out the screw and when I put the grips on it all went back to being good again although its a bit stressed.

Here is the carbine im working on right now

Heres the big metal screw from the top that didnt want to come out

as you can see, I used PRECISION SKILL to drill a 1mm hole followed by a 2mm hole and that sort of allowed me to use a vicegrip ion the head which i sheared and both get it out AND set the head straigh by accident. double win.

After drilling the hole I first tried screwing a self tapping crew in there and screwing it out but that didnt work. I couldnt believe it when it came out.

Once I put all the parts in the sonic cleaner they should look less like rusty piles of crap. I hope they dont get too clean.

This first gun is going to be a tester in getting it right with reagrds to how clean to clean the parts, remembering that I cant clean the barrel and can only use wire wool on that and how much stripper to use on the stock, if any.

I wont be cleaning the barrel of removing the nipple as insurance again surprise house invasions by nazis at 4am for no reason at all as they will probably inspect the barrels for bullets and stuff so if theres none in there I am not suffering LEGAL JEPORDY.

Of course they'll probably make antique guns illegal now along with smiling, laughing and remembering what it was like before the apocolyse. Dang there i go again. I mean, i hope I get this historically correct. Id hate to make a mistake like using a stainless steal pop rivet in the wrong place.

I think the trigger gaurd is bronze? or maybe really aged copper or brass? Its a strange metal either way. I dont think its gold but I cant be sure as I dont have any gold to compare it too, just some stupid governemnt coins that arnt worth their weight in what the hell. I like the governemnt and I collect all their coins. My favorite is the £2 coin and i'll swap 10 2p coins for a £2 coin if you have doubles as I have loads of double of the 2p coin which i brought at a jumble sale for £5 each along with my STUPID Roman coins, like I thought I was buyinf a KILOGRAMand all I got was 3 COINS!!!! bloody wtf double not good, bloody senile ebay sellers describing things like there £5 per kg or something when there really £5 each!!! Plus they are really small.
