    First pistol complete

    Well, I finally finished my first muzzleloader project - TotW's Kentucky flintlock pistol. It's my first firearms related project, in fact, and it was quite a learning experience. Thanks to those here who answered my questions along the way! My primary goal was simply putting together a pistol...

    Brown or not - and order of operations

    Howdy, I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for my TotW Kentucky Flintlock. I'm now trying to decide whether or not to brown/blue the barrel.

    Question fitting GM breech plug

    Hello, I'm working on my first kit, the TotW Kentucky flintlock pistol. I didn't have Track fit the breech plug, which I probably should have, but I have machining experience and figured it would be okay. Peter Alexander's book says that the breech should only be 1/2" long, but the Green...

    Hello from Silicon Valley

    Howdy, Ran into this forum while searching for info on flintlock rifles. Looks very informative! I don't have much experience with firearms except the occasional trip to the firing range many years ago. But lately I've gotten interested in the idea of building a Pennsylvania long rifle kit...
