Bruce and I ordered a couple of the Morse carbine kits from the Rifle Shoppe quite some time ago. They did get ready this summer and I went and Pick them up. Here are some pictures of the kit . I am to finish Rifle and the ammo for it. They are two books published about the Morse carbine. 
     It has been a very challenging project. It was mostly hand fitting and drilling and tapping holes. Fixing a couple of mistakes and figuring how to reload for it.
       They were made in South Carolina during the war between the states. As you may can tell. I was born in a part of Oklahoma called Little Dixie.
      It is a 50 caliber musket cap primed with a washer to help seal and hold the primer in place. Track of the wolf makes the cartridges with the nipple inside. I took a Lee 5070 government mold and cut it down one band in one groove. But now weighs 370 grains. You can put about 40 grains of powder in. I have shot it before we had sights on it to check it for a function. I need to go out and adjust the sites two point of aim now.

Wow outstanding work and thank you so very much for sharing it with all of us here!

That looks nice, like to see how it shoots.
And the jig look interesting

Interesting project, very nice.
