  • It's FINALLY DONE!
    With this video, the InvestArm Plains Pistol build is finally complete. It took some time, but I’m happy with the result and had a great time doing it. After tightening a few screws and bolts, we head straight to the range to test out our newly completed muzzleloader.
    Today we're officially starting our InvestArms Plains building series. This series will cover the construction of this muzzleloader kit, the tools needed, and several different processes of wood finishing and metal finishing.

    In this video, we're unboxing the kit to get a detailed look at each of the parts before we move onto assembly. I talk about each of the Hawken parts, their purpose and place on the muzzleloader, some of my top tips for muzzleloader kit building, and my recommendations on what to research before starting.
    If you have any questions about this kit or the techniques I'm using, leave them in the comments below. I will address as many comments as I can in videos associated with this series to give you as much detail as I can about the answer.

    You did a great job Ethan. I hand build my flintlocks and it is good to see your video. It gives other want to be building the chance to see how easy it can be. Your gun will weather and wear well. Soon it will look “vintage”. I have taken white tail and several hogs with my .54 caliber flintlock horse pistols I have made. At 45 yards are less, they work perfect.

    I am just now finally getting a good appreciation of your ways. The barrel has rust scale but I meant to do that. Reminds me of a kid getting laughed at for making a blunder and telling all, I meant to do that. LOL. Glad you got it done and hell yes the projects are great. Keep doing them but do them properly. If you have to get someone to help you then do it because many that watch this put their faith in your abilities and will mimic what you do on here.
