    Need unusual nipple

    I read somewhere that the nipples used were either original colt or a machined copy? Not sure how accurate the information was. You can get reproductions of original colt nipples which are different than what comes on import reproductions of colts. They cost the same amount as any other off the...

    Enough is Enough

    I'm with you on this one. If somebody wants to ignore somebody more power to them and I'm glad there are the tools to do so. Me personally, I don't ignore anybody. Most of the people here are super friendly, and even the rude ones still have a lot of knowledge and wisdom that I wouldn't pass...

    Suggestions on this nose cap fix?

    It means a lot to me that you accepted my apology, we're a tight nit group and bad blood doesn't help matters. Another option you could consider is purchasing a longer nose cap. After you perform the fix you're happy with, install it using two solid copper rivets with the one towards the muzzle...

    He can shape the nose of his stock back a little bit to provide a solid anchor for the poured cap, but I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about so I will leave you gentlemen to helping the man destroy his stuff.

    Suggestions on this nose cap fix?

    Yes, it was a harsh thing to say rereading what I had posted and for that I would like to apologize to Dave. What I was getting at is that the biggest mistake a newer builder makes is not knowing when to walk away and take a break, to clear they're mind and reflect on the situation. When I saw...

    Suggestions on this nose cap fix?

    It was solid advice, you JB Welded a part on and then torched the end of your stock off. Things are going catastrophically wrong and maybe you should reread Mr. Alexander's book before complicating matters further.

    Suggestions on this nose cap fix?

    Honestly, the best thing you could do at this stage would be to put this project on the back-burner (not literally) until you educate yourself further on building longrifles. Installing a nose cap is one of the easier things to do and the fact that you would even consider JB Weld for anything...

    Main Spring Vise

    He's very well known and respected in the muzzleloading community and I doubt there's something he couldn't make. It couldn't hurt to contact him and see if he'd be willing to make you one or point you in the right direction: http://www.bagmolds.com/

    Main Spring Vise

    Glad I could help, I'm just hoping that is a mainspring vise for a miquelet and not a hose clamp for a Model T? Have you tried contacting Larry Callahan and asking if he'll make you a custom vise for your lock?

    Do you think this will work?.... vent

    Yes, I did miss that part since I was typing my response prior to you submitting yours. In the spirit of fairness, however, I would like to update my response to: It is unlikely that that will work though I wish you the best of luck.

    Do you think this will work?.... vent

    There is no chance any of that will work.
