How about we make a Flintlock 4f pan charger from an antler?

This is what I have in mind.
I'm going to make a small brass tube to install and make a charging plunger type spout.

I'm going to use a marine grade epoxy.
Everything else will be threaded.

JB Weld makes it??? :shock:

Shouldn't be a hard find then....

Do you rough up the brass where you're putting the epoxy or how do you get it to hold to it without it popping loose later? I know the metal working JB would adhere...is the marine stuff much the same?
