    Hello from South Australia.

    Hi mate What is the gun you are looking at? Some of the old CVA flintlocks are rubbish comparatively. With a flintlock a good lock is very important and crucial if hunting, Percussion not so critical

    According to this they were used for reconnaissance in America. I quote ".........left San Antonio on June 25, 1857, and 25 pack camels accompanied a train of mule-drawn wagons."

    Went to the Barrelan Clydesdale event. Not sure where to put but thought you would be interested. Seems Australia is the only place where camels were used in wagon trains. Find it interesting how much dust horses generate compared to camels

    Bought an incomplete project gun for USD65 - It has issues! Advice requested

    I believe that Belgian muzzleloader barrels were common in the 70's but not since. So I think someone started this project 50 years back with whatever they could get and the limited knowledge they had. The stock is a, really rough, pre shape with about 80% of the easy work done. I think the old...

    Yeah, Mine is also beech. You need a water or alcohol dye. I did a few test bits on the bit of stock I cut off. On the basis you know what part of the stock you are going to take back you can do tests on the stock before the taking back or in the barrel channel.

    Stain was thinned down leather dye topped with Tru oil which was taken back to a low sheen and waxed. Just remember remove all the wood that is in the wrong place. There is plenty that can go.
