    Looking for hawk and knife source

    Hey Kansan; how did you secure the blocks in the frame. I was going to screw mine in from the back through the plywood. can you use the pressure treated 4x4's for it or are they to hard? I was also going to use 6" long blocks, is 4" sturdy enough? Steve

    how much 4f

    Finally got all the stuff together to shoot my first flint lock. Weapon is a Brown Bess. My question is how much powder do you put in the pan. I made a flint primer (deer antler) and it will throw 3 grains. Is 3 the magic number or do you put more or less in for smaller locks? :hmm...

    i need some ideas

    how about powder horn plug. There would be enough left over for a matching stopper. like one of the other guys said it would make really nice small tool handles for the cased sets of pistols.
