    Pedersoli Availability?

    Looking at the original post the gent was talking about buying a rifle not building one. There is no question about Kibler's quality but can you buy one already made for the price of a Pedersoli? Not everyone has the time, skill or desire to build one.

    Be sure to neutralize Aquafortis well and be careful removing barrels!

    If you haven't used aqua fortis I suggest buying a piece of maple from Lowes or a similar store and use it for practice. Small pieces are not expensive and the stuff gives very nice results but technique is important. I use a heat gun for the heat source and by varying the distance and exposure...

    Repairing wood screw holes

    RanchRoper I had the same concern with my Pedersoli. I remove the lock for cleaning and the small wood screw would not last long. I installed a threaded insert in its place. The size I used is the same as the screw for an electrical outlet cover. The thread screw size I used is 6x32 with .400"...

    Why the "patent breech" design ?

    Henry Nock gets some credit for "inventing" the Patent breech. He was English and there was a tremendous amount of research during his era for improving the weapons of the day. His patent should be online somewhere which should explain his reasoning. I can't find the site now but I have come...

    Pedersoli Frontier

    I bought a 32 percussion and eventually converted it to flintlock. I got the lock etc. from Dixie gunworks. Mine is a little hard on flints but the lock time is great. The pan is shallow but if it is filled level I've never had a misfire. I replaced the front lock screw with a threaded insert...

    Pedersoli Kodiak Doubles

    Small correction, you can use a double rifle in New York, just not in the muzzle loading season. There is nothing wrong with using a muzzle loader during the regular season.

    Pedersoli Patent Breech design

    The purpose of this design was to create an anti-chamber which would self- load with powder during loading. The ignition of the small powder charge created a jet of flame thru the small connecting hole into the main powder charge and was supposed to provide increased velocity and less fouling...

    Patent Breech trouble.

    Here is a picture of the Frontier 32 cal. Same idea the pin is through the touch hole for reference. If your problem is too much carbon I suggest letting it soak for quite awhile and starting with a scraper. The last thing I do after cleaning is run a very wet with Ballistol patch through the...

    Patent Breech trouble.

    There have been some great ideas floated in response to your question. Problem is no one else has seen the rifle. I suggest you buy an Endoscope. I just bought one from Walmart, about $13 with free shipping. Being able to actually look inside is a tremendous help. I have pictures of my Pedersoli...
