OH my! I cant wait!! I have needed a good 'able for making a steampunk gun but most of them required welding :) I'm making a steampun costume for halloween, using 'ables like the steampunk shutter shades

This is so gorgeous!! I'm modding my own gun right now (it's not as piratey, though... in fact, with the black coat of paint on it, it looks a bit more military... I hope it doesn't look to silly when I'm completely finished with it!!). This is surely a great inspiration to me. Thanks for the amazing idea. I'll be sure to post pictures of my own gun when I'm finished (maybe even my whole steampunk costume!!). ;)

Here it is!! I just finished it today. :D It isn't really "wooden" looking, but I think your tutorial helped my first mod to be a success! <3

Wow. I like the pirate gun, but that's fabulous too. You both inspire me.

That's a flint lock blackpowder pistol, most popularly used by pirates but flintlocks were used also in the American revolution both by Americans and the British. The pre-1840's mountain men also used them but the flintlock shared glory with the caplock during this era. The caplock is more like our modern guns using a "cap" instead of flint being thrown down harshly shaving of pieces of steel creating sparks to ignite the blackpowder cache in the barrel building up pressure propelling the projectile.

I got it at a costume shop in Seattle, but found it all over the web for sale, including Amazon.

I agree that the title is misleading, but this was a great instructable to toy modding! I just happen to have a cheap toy gun I bought to do just this, so I'm really happy to stumble here.

Dude... nice as the result is - very pretty indeed - this isn't remotely steampunk. It's more of a re-furbishing guide. This is a pity as I recently bought a double-barrel flintlock that I badly want to mod and was hoping for some cool pointers. Ah well. Shall keep on searchin' :-) I look forward to your next Instructible

As I said above, many other SP's would disagree. Steampunk is what you make of it, for your character. Not everything needs to be steam and nuclear powered, y'know. ;) If it fits into the aesthetic and your character, it works. And certainly the techniques I employed could be applied to many other styles of guns and props. Hope it was helpful!
