    Middlesex Double Barrel

    Jack, you make me tired. You are so incredibly predictable and boring. Go find somebody else to annoy. I didn't say the people here are stupid. In fact they have more patience than I do and they deserve a medal for helping this guy out when he continues to not take any advice from experienced...

    barrel steel again

    I blew a douglas years ago, but I don't think they were 12L14. My own damned fault anyway. Loaded, dumped another charge of powder, short started the ball then got distracted in conversation.My turn to shoot and I stepped up to the line and blew her all to hell. :headslap:

    carving on trade gun stock/Type D

    Don't go by what other modern day builders have done. Buy Kevin Gladysz book on French trade guns from TOTW and do what was originally done.

    Middlesex Double Barrel

    To be honest Jack, I really don't give a dam what he buys so there is no point in my taking the time to clarify, it would just go over his head any way.. I;ll just keep my opinions and 32 years of experience to myself so as to keep you and others from being overly offended. :idunno: The internet...

    Way too much drop on the pattern. You'll end up shooting that one from your hip.

    Early Hershel House Rifle

    Looks just like the .29 by House that I used to own. Made in '72. Only difference, mine had a Bill Large barrel and a Bob Roller lock. :thumbsup:

    Double barrel flintlock?

    I get around....and end up finding them occasionally. Gun shows and such. A fowling gun is light and lively and designed for wing shooting and only has a front sight like a shot gun. A smooth rifle is heavy and it's main purpose is shooting round ball and occasionally shot at stationary...

    Heat Mirage

    Heat mirage, I love it. :shake: I carry a wet rag when shooting competition matches this time of year and use it to cool down the barrel. Helps some. :idunno:

    Middlesex Double Barrel

    Yes , flint doubles are expensive. You'd have just as much fun with a single barrel flint. I'd suggest a 16,12 or 10 bore if you are wing shooting....I don't know how you do things in Canada.

    Double barrel flintlock?

    I don't build doubles anymore. Too big of a pain in the neck. Ed Rayle's joined barrels with fitted plugs and standing breech are $1100. I'd find an original. They can be had for around $2500 if you look. If you can't afford that I'd get a single barrel flint gun built, but not a virginia...

    Junk. Look for an original. I see them occasionally for around $2500.
