    Pedersoli Upgrades?

    I reached out to TOTW on this exact question. I was informed they did not have a replacement and to instead send the lock to Brad Emig of Cabin Creek Muzzleloading for tuning. I'm debating doing the same, or first taking the time to polish my lock up. It's relatively lackluster in performance...

    Trade Gun VS Brown Bess

    I'm curious, did you do anything to the stock in the conversion? Or did you just change out the bands and run with it?

    Spanish Escopeta

    Being that information on Spanish arms seems difficult to get, does anyone have any additional information on what time period this style would be from? Thanks.

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    Hmm, Interesting to see many saying they see decent sparks on theirs. I find mine doesn't give off a ton. Usually goes off, with 4f then there is not a problem, but with 3f from cartridges it doesn't always like to go off. Other than that I like the gun, nice and handy.

    Long Land Pattern Brown Bess with Stowe 1776 lock

    Hmm, not seeing the crack as you mentioned. But once I see it in person then I can really tell if its there or just some funkiness with the photo. I did see the incorrectly placed sling swivel as well. I would want to fix that up. The primary consolation is that it is definitley not a Indian...

    Thank you, I will keep that place in mind. I could see the merit of having something in memorial of that curator being used in a Rev. Reenactment. I'm going to upload every photo I have received of it. Apolegies for the spam posting in advance.

    Long Land Pattern Brown Bess with Stowe 1776 lock

    Thanks for your info, theres no other marking above the wood. Would have to take the barrel out and check. I guess then it is at a bit kf a dilemna, as the lock is incorrectly labled amd dated but it is a memorial. So would it be a bad thing to remove the markings and re-mark?

    Long Land Pattern Brown Bess with Stowe 1776 lock

    The bore from what I recall looked well used but did not appear as a rust bucket. I could probably clean it up well with some 0000 steel wool. I will be arranging at some point a chance to look at it in person and purchase it. It is a 46 inch barrel, when I first saw it one of the other guys had...

    Long Land Pattern Brown Bess with Stowe 1776 lock

    Thanks, should be a Dixie Gun Works then. It does have proof marks that I believe should be from the Birmingham Proof House. But from the info I saw in the 70s apparently they were using a different mark.

    TreeMan, Thanks, I was able to find some info.

    TreeMan, thanks for the info. I wasn't aware Pedersoli ever made a LLP. Did they ever sell their locks seperately and someone else made the barrel?

    Long Land Pattern Brown Bess with Stowe 1776 lock

    Hi all, a friend is looking to sell his Long Land Pattern Brown Bess. We are both not sure of the origins, I had heard of some SLP having "Stowe 1776" but not of a LLP. On the back of the lock it says Made In Italy. Any advice as to its origin would be appreciated. I'm newer to reenacting, my...
