Here's a video showing a kid building a muzzle loader.
From 1:00 to 3:55, he makes the stock which can be skipped.
What he used for a barrel.
At 0:15 in the video, he states that he's using a 3/8" piece of steel pipe.
It looks like soft steel because he seals the breech end by simply flattening the end of the pipe.
Then he makes the wood stock from 1:00 until 3:55 in the video which can be skipped.
He does test fire the barrel before attaching it to the stock, and it was able to blow a hole through a piece of wood.
Slow motion shows that the breech is not well sealed.
At the end he announces that he doesn't recommend that anyone make it, but if they do to be sure to wear eye protection.
Thankfully the kid didn't hurt himself.
So is this muzzle loader deplorable or is this just an example of a kid being a kid?
Do you think that his parents knew what he's doing with the powder?
What would you do if he was your kid?
Note that this video has over 1.3 million views!
