    Chuck Edwards Gunbuilding Class

    I have always been into shooting the iconic Kentucky Rifle. There is a feel that goes with it that you get from no other gun. When hunting you get the Daniel Boone feeling in the woods. Its almost reliving history again. However I wanted to take it a step farther and learn to build my own...

    1851 pietta Navy revolver problem

    I have a 1851 navy 36 cal. Made by pietta. The cylinder is locking up on half cock. I took it apart and it seems like the arm of the bolt that is riding on the hammer cam is sliding off just before the trigger slides into the half cock notch on hammer. Do I need a new hammer or should I try a...

    Pedersoli Frontier 32 Cal all over the place

    Ok. Received new patches and shot gun today. No loading problems at all. Was able to load balls without deforming them. Was able to get good groups but gun shot 6" low. Filed front sight down and now it shoots center! Ready for some squirrel when season gets here.

    Thanks for all the advice. My short starter is homemade. Piece of antler drilled with a 5/16 piece of ramrod pressed in it. Ordered thinner patches. Will give it a try this weekend.

    If I used a patch and ball combo like that I would have to use a hydrolic press to get it pass the muzzle.

    Pedersoli Frontier/Blue Ridge Rifle Lock Conversion

    I just found a good deal on a Pedersoli frontier/blue ridge rifle in 32 cal. I went ahead a bought it. The only downside is its a percussion. I am really wanting a flintlock. What is the best method for removing the barrel drum without marring and tearing it up? I figured I can remove the barrel...
