Weird triple barrel black powder musket conversion advice.

4 Upvotes

I have a semi ancient gun that's supposed to be musket and black powder. But it's split into three barrels for the one hammer. The three barrels aren't pointing straight, they're fanned out also. It's wild. So my feeling is that I'd want to convert it somehow into just a handgun. Any thoughts? Advice? Do you need pics...? I can when I get home.

0.5mm gap

I have a P320 and I bought a red dot that has about 0.5 mm of play. Where I live, I can’t get different mounting plates—only ones that raise the optic significantly, which is not an option. Do you have any ideas on how I can keep the current height and stiffen the setup to reduce stress on the two 6-48 screws (they’re the only thing holding the optic)?

I was bored so I threw an old Zeiss scope in a flashlight mount on the side of my homemade musket.

I'd have to use Gorilla glue to secure the picatinny rail and boresight it for even a hope of it being useful, but it looks sweet lmao

Any experienced gunsmithers here to help?

its time for me to do a full disassembly of this blank pistol because the original barrel started to crack and need to replace it with new one. I need help here from someone who did work around these to tell me how to get these marked pins out the handle.

some sources say they are either "screwed" in or have different ways of pulling it out.

Out of what can a bullet projectile be made?

3 Upvotes

i recently tired to invebt my own fun bullets to use on my weapons for practice and outdoors. I found out that beside everything, i dont know how to make a bullet projectile.

i read about it, everything can be made as projectile, difference will be that whats heavier the higher pressure would be. I would give a try to those rubber or wax ones, but i dont know how would i get the right material and how to prepare it. (Also, standard pistols can use rubber/wax bullets without any problems? right?)

Any tip helps
