As many are aware this last year has seen some needs on my part to address long pushed off healthcare.
Back surgery and a couple of cardiac ablations have kept me out of the shop for over a month on the back and five days for each ablation.
I am now back at it and pushing to get caught up. I extend my apologies for the delays in getting work done that has been waiting.
Respectfully

A very interesting and informative photo with text

Two interesting and cool things (well, interesting and cool for me, anyways) are caught in this frame of Joe shooting the Model 1855.

First, you can see the Minié ball racing towards the target like a comet, leaving a smoky trail behind. This happens sometimes and has a tracer-like effect. It is most common when the barrel is hot, and a greasy Minié is loaded, but the gun isn’t immediately fired. Some powder gets into the hot liquifying grease, and it leaves these smoky Civil War tracer trails. In slow motion they also clearly reveal the corkscrew motion of the bullets — they don’t shoot in a straight line!

Second, look at the little “ball” of flame to the left of the hammer. This is a piece of the Maynard primer tape that must have been sitting slightly off center over the cone, and when the hammer fell, it ignited but couldn’t go down the flash channel and instead it happily make a pretty little fireball hovering in the air over the breech. Also shows why it’s always smart to use eye protection!

Now I also think it’s very interesting and cool th at this is a U.S. Model 1855 rifle-musket being fired with a working Maynard primer system, but some people have said they don’t understand why there’s been so much Maynard content lately, so I won’t bring that up.

Thorr Gunsmithing offers general gunsmith services and repair. At this time we do not offer machining services but have excellent referrals who do provide those services. It is planed to add some machining services in the latter part of 2018.

While there are some fi****ms that I will referrer to other Gunsmiths most I will service here at the shop. Stock refinish and repair, drill and tap, stock shortening and regrinding of recoil pad or butt plate (if possible) or adding a recoil pad or butt pad grind to fit as needed. General cleaning and servicing of fi****ms. From basic field strip and clean to detailed strip and clean.
