    WANTED WTB - Dog Lock

    Hey, gang. I’m looking for a dog lock for an early colonial build and thought I’d make an ask here. I have a note out to The Rifle Shoppe but haven’t heard back and they’re out of the shop for a few days. Let me know if you have something sitting that needs a new home. Ryan

    SOLD Joe schell .62 smooth pistol

    I just handled this pistol and it is lovely. I was buying something else, but if I had the funds available, it would be home with me.

    Early Pennsylvania Smoothbores

    I’m wondering if the stock profiles on these smoothbore guns built in Pennsylvania by gunsmiths of Germanic heritage weren’t like British fowling pieces due to the number of imports coming into the colonies…

    Thanks, Rich. I’ll have another look in Book II in the meantime.

    Early Pennsylvania Smoothbores

    Lovely piece, Mac! I guess I should have been more clear… I’m building from a plank rather than a kit and I’m researching extant examples to get a sense of stock architecture style. Thanks, Rich! Of course I only own the second book! Do these smoothbores have a cheekrest and rifle trigger guard...

    Early Pennsylvania Smoothbores

    Hey, gang. I’m getting ready to start a build and looking for some additional images to assist. BJ and Dave Person have been extremely helpful with advice, and BJ has offered to mentor me through the build. (BJ, I owe you a call. Got back to work and immediately started working 6 day weeks…)...

    My next build Jim Chambers PA Fowler

    New guy here and really enjoying this build. I’m interested in this Chambers kit, and these are some of the best photos around. Chambers’s website calls this a 1760s gun but Barbie said it’s actually based on a 1790s example. Now with good pics of the hardware I can look in my research material...
