    Wedges-L to R or R to L??

    I know sights are usually slid into their dovetails left to right. Is there a convention on the direction barrel wedges or pins are installed?

    Pedersoli SxS Shotgun

    I recently acquired a used Pedersoli 12 ga percussion double barrel. Most of the furniture appears to be color case hardened. Can anyone tell me whether this is real case hardening or just "cosmetic" coloring? Reason I ask-the tang needs to be bent to better conform to the shape of the wrist. If...

    H&A Breechplug Face

    Does anyone know if the breechplug face of the H&A "Offhand" Underhammer in .45 cal. is flat or concave? My new tight-fitting cleaning jag gets stuck at the bottom of the barrel, and that's after removing the nipple, so I know it's not getting stuck on a too long nipple.

    Reaming a Ramrod Hole

    I'm refurbishing a kit-built rifle (.50 cal) that has 3/8" thimbles installed for the ramrod, but the builder used a 5/16" drill to make the ramrod hole in the lower forestock, and then used a 5/16" ramrod. Short of buying or building a 3/8" ramrod hole drill, any suggestions for slightly...

    Percussion Drum Problem

    Here's a problem I hadn't seen before. I bought a used Dixie Tenn.Mt.Rifle that appeared to have a clean bore but was in need of some TLC. After scrubbing and flushing the bore I took it out for a range session. I had some misfires and delayed ignition. More scrubbing and flushing, new nipple...

    Flyers??

    In working up a target load from the bench for my .45 cal. H&A underhammer, I settled on 45g. of 777. This gives me a nice tight group EXCEPT for the too-often flyer. And that's cleaning the bore between shots. Any thoughts on what's happening?

    Sharon Hawken Kit

    I recently saw a used Hawken Rifle at the local gun store.The attached tag said "Kit" where the manufacturer is usually listed.The builder had filed off the markings on the top of the barrel so I couldn't identify where it came from, but the bore looked good so I bought it for $199.Under...

    H&A Underhammer Ramrod Pipe

    Refurbishing an H&A underhammer ("The Offhand" in .45 Cal). Want to strip and brown the barrel. Would like to remove the ramrod pipe before I proceed. Does anyone know how these were attached? They appear to have two expanding rivets. How would I re-attach? (I'd like to stay away from soldering...
