    Thinking about a build

    So much good advice here. I am in a similar process. I scoured the building sites and choose to blank build. Bought " recreating the American Longrifle", "gunsmith of Grenville county" and Turpins video. I find I use the Alexander book the most but have changed his building sequence based on...

    TRIGGER!!!!!!!!!

    Rich, I like your point. I am still a long way from understanding the longrifle, but until I started pulling things apart and handling pieces, I could never understand the relationship of those parts as a whole. I still have a long way to go and a short time to get there, but WOW, these guns...

    bowie

    Hard not to rave about ALL the components of this knife, so to be quick here, so I'll only mention one; I love the shape of the handle. The handle says "pick me up" . What a nice grip shape! OK two comments; The inlay work is flawless. Dan

    Starting out, which way to go???

    The fun (supposed to be fun)thing about working with traditional guns is that the questions never stop! That is half of the joy of this hobby/obsession. I know this is a common question so you might read the excellent archives on this site. You have already gotten good advice from the guys...

    Upgrading Guns

    IMHO, I think a person needs to ask himself "why am i doing this for this particular gun. If it is to practice gunsmithing, (like I did) it is still debateable if it was worth my time. Over the years I bought some used CVAs to tinker with and clean up and practice inlaying and browning and other...
