    blowing down barrel

    And when the gun goes off taking half your face with it and there is no one there to help you or hear, is there a sound?

    Double sided knives

    I like the "Frontier" shoes. Well polished and what looks like kilties and thin soles shown in the second picture.

    Just bought TOTW John Vincent kit.

    Just bought TOTW John Vincent kit. Any hidden pitfalls I should watch for? Surprised how much arthritis has affected my ability to hold tools. I sure hope I haven't bit off more than I can chew. I'd hate to turn $800.00 worth of parts into $300.00 worth of rifle. :bow:

    Engraving source

    Good Morning. I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this. If not please move it to where it should be. Thanks. I am building a rifle for my twin grandchildren. I am looking for an engraver to engrave a little bit of a message on a brass oval, (maybe silver), plate that I will inlay on...

    Sitting Fox Muzzleloaders

    :td: Based on my own experience with Sitting Fox aka Ray Franks I would not buy from him again. If you feel a need to get a gun from him my advice is not to pay for it until you have had it in your hand. If you want more detailed info I will respond to your PM. I learned a lot in my years as a...

    rifle

    Keith: Thanks for your suggestion. I had thought of Tip. I've had bad experience (not with Tip)with buying guns that I cannot see before purchase. Since I live in N. Ohio, about 4-5 hours from Friendship I may just run down there and see Tip. Thanks again for your response. Ron Whisler

    rifle

    Looking for a Vincent in the white. Anyone know who might have one? Arthritis has pretty much taken me out of the ball game, but I think I can handle one in the white. I've always wanted a Vincent, just never got around to it.Old age caught up with me before I was ready. My Dr. summed it all up...

    First Flintlock Advice

    I agree. My .40 cal flinter will group three shots touching consistently at 100 yards, however, I will not take a shot at a deer at more than 50 yds.We have a obligation to give our quarry a swift death. I have seen too many deer running through the woods with arrows, cross bow bolts sticking...

    who sells noggins? looking for one

    :confused: I could be missing something but I can't find where anybody put any blame on ebay. My assumption from reading posts is that they are available on ebay and they are junk. Lighten up guys. My gosh.

    Dark stain options

    :grin: I, too, built a early Lancaster. I wanted a dark finish so I talked to the guys at Log Cabin. I followed their advice and used Homer Dangler Dark Brown and his Dark Brown with yellow highlight. Really brought the curl out and is nice and dark. It's a alcohol based stain. I used two coats...
