Commodore Swab Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Most definatly, my speciality you could say. Im going to try to bring some tools to work on stuff there is there is space and time.
Commodore Swab Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 If you let me know your problems I can come better prepared.
madPete Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 That is cool! Do you have a 60 month payment book? mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
mrbungle Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 very cool swab!! the main problem is, i have one of those old japanese light dragoons. it is safe for firing blank loads but never powder and ball. it will blow up. i have seen pics of this. but anyways the springs on it are old and weak. from the frizzen pan spring to the hammer spring. so weak you barely get a spark when fired.
Commodore Swab Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Some barrels are very poor and even cast, some have been proofed and are decent to good. Im almost finished reworking one now (it should be at tybee for sale) and ended up replacing the entire lock, what a vast improvement.
On Stranger Tides Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I can't wait to see them, is that a doublebuss?

Commodore Swab Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Yes it is a bronze double barrel blunderbuss
Capt Thighbiter Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 The Brigands be flyin' down Fri morn. Hafta make sure I run into the Commodore there, that is an impressing piece of ordinance. Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
Commodore Swab Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 The double buss was unable to be completed on time. It is 80% finished and will have it for display as a work in progress.
madPete Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 slacker! I'm sure folks will appreciate it regardless! mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
