How celebrate the 4th

I'm the only one on my block who's hung the flag. And I voted Green.

Whassamatta?

I'm gonna blow off a couple firecrackers after sunset, out in my garden of moist soil that makes neat craters after a 'cracker.

I think BP is very 4th of July.

BTW, that bastard up there has 500 grams of explosives...

1530 hrs...prime BBQ time, right?

And it's pouring rain...lol.

Had a video, but it's too large. Oh well...

Fun! Nice shooting and nice looking rifle. What make is it? Now I'm tempted to get out my Great Plains Rifle (percussion) Might be too many other people out on the ranges with the same idea today, however.

I see there's 21 hours of sunlight in Fairbanks today. You still have time to get out there.

Puffing up is no substitute for smarts but it's a common home remedy

Very true. I don't know how anybody gets anything done in the summer when it gets dark at 9:00 pm! Of course Fourth of July fireworks aren't quite as spectacular when it's daylight at midnight.

It is a pedersoli made it from a kit. Easy one to put together mostly sanding and polishing. Fun winter project think I may get a GPR this winter my CVA from the 70s is getting kinda long in the tooth.

I really like my GPR. Of course it's my first and only muzzleloader rifle (so far) so don't have much to compare it to. I'd really like a flintlock like yours, but thought I'd start with a percussion since Pyrodex is much simpler to obtain here than real black powder. I think I'd probably go with a kit too, when I get caught up on my other projects....okay, that won't happen in my lifetime!
