@ThatShadyVandal Indeed.
Yeah and about almost 2 years of work gone like that

Smokeless powder in a black powder rifle is a very dangerous mistake
Damn that reminded me of times where i loved gore
Smokeless powder burns much more efficiently and generates significantly more internal pressure than black powder does
Yep
Interesting.
One thing you'll run into also is that over the last century, there's even some guns from the early half of the century that you can't run modern loads through because the powders of today are too hot for the old guns
I'll never engrave another rifle again
You should experiment with acid etching
I'll just stain the wood and blue the barrel
I’m a fascist
That wasn’t random..
If you know your way around a forge and acid etching, you can make stuff like this
That looks so good
How is that possible
It's called "Damascus steel." The process on how to make it was rediscovered recently on accident
Goddammit, Joe kinda slapped in it
Also hello, good evening/morning/afternoon/whatever
Two or more alloys of steel are repeatedly folded over one another at forging temperatures, then allowed to cool and acid etch
And it absorbs it??
The pattern and the design that you see are the result of the two alloys etching at different rates
The acid eats away at the surface of the steel
Oh
If I ever engrave something again I'll just stick to doing it by hand
They make some cool knives like that too
hello
Anyone watched the light house ?
Stock photo for a damascus steel that is actually blued

@ThatShadyVandal Damn that’s nice looking
Bownjourno 🤣
that movie is great
I know right
If I ever decide to marry, I might experiment with machining some of this stuff
Those knifes must be expensive
