First test of the new program
And The Bison
Still Roam ...
This is the latest
bison I've made. A 45 caliber muzzle loading power house.
The long "lambs
tongue" makes this Bison very comfortable to shoulder.
Butt reservoir and
the stock provides a comfortable cheek.
Filled through this
probe port ... the probe then quick couples to the standard Foster
geometry quick disconnect (my standard geometry fill for many
years)
details
the front sight
- hooded post and bead. Integral solid brass unit also forms the
front ram rod thimble.
The Barnes Adjustable
peep sight. Six spiral peep holes. The tower rotates and clicks
into six detents. Holding dead on at distance is just a "click"
away.
Only one "Peep"
is ever aligned with the eye at a time. No chance for confusion.
Ram rod forestock
tunnel
Power adjust for
the hammer tube system
details
Palm over the Walnut
upper tongue ... fingers wrap around the lamb's tongue of the
billet machined housing.
Set trigger. See
that "nubb" @ 3 o'clock inside the circle? Click it
down to arm the trigger before firing.
This fine Barnes
Bison Class will be doing duty on the east coast of the US. Muzzle
loading competitions and hunting are in store.
There's 500 foot
pounds in reserve for hunting. And a target kit to tame the beast
to about 300 fpe for "Plinking".
Hope you enjoyed
seeing the pics ...
