    Panther tent

    I am about to order a new tent, got rid of my 12X14-9ft high wall tent, just too much for me to put up by myself anymore. I am looking at the 12X12 wedge that Panther advertises, just not sure about the available space inside with the sloped walls. It is just me and the woman, perhaps an...

    left handed shooter - right handed flintlock?

    I have been shooting right handed flintlocks for years lefthanded, no problems. I actually prefer rh flinters, lock is easy to see when priming and easier to cover in bad weather.

    Gap between pan and barrel.

    I used lead from a round ball hammered flat to fill a gap between pan and barrel, works great and is form fitting, and easily replaced. Just lay it on barrel when replacing lock, tighten lock screws like normal.

    CVA Blunderbuss

    Thanks for the info, just got back from the Log Cabin. Replaced the frizzen and mainspring, got a lot of cleaning to do before I try a round. Think I may reshape the stock to more of a 1750's Flavor. Oz and Dan think the bell is press fit also, tough to remove. Will give some thought before...

    CVA Blunderbuss

    Will be getting a CVA Blunderbuss, upon inspecting this piece it has the appearance of a threaded bell at the muzzle. This got me to thinking if I could remove the bell and replace with a thread protecter I would have a unique and more usable caone gun. Any thoughts or info?
