    Lock problem?

    What do you see wrong with the lock and installation on this "sold as is" on GB? http://pics.gunbroker.com/GB/700565000/700565795/pix585136410.jpg

    Henderson County NC

    Does anyone in the area know anything about the possibility/availability of land for lease to shoot on? Just enough to legally shoot would be fine. If it's property that one can also hunt, that's fine too. It would just be for myself. Relocating there soon. Thanks in advance.

    Unusual rifle

    I took a stroll through Cohen's in New Orleans the other day and saw a rather unique percussion sporting rifle. The configuration was typical for a later period half stock with an octagon barrel but the nipple was threaded offset from top of center, directly into the breech in a manner similar...

    Lesson learned

    I've been shooting flint for around 30 years but apparently that's not long enough to avoid trouble. A while ago I built a "hybrid" flint .69 cal 1816 musket with original parts except for the barrel which came from Whitacre. It's rifled with three grooves suited for a minie. It's sighted and...

    A place to shoot

    My wife and I are headed for the Asheville, NC area in July to check it out as a possible place to retire. One requirement I have is a place to shoot my muzzleloaders and BPCRs. Public or a private club will work. Given the types of gun, outdoors is a must. I'm not interested in handguns so...

    My wife and I are considering retirement in North Carolina in the vicinity of Asheville. Can anyone advise me regarding the availability of black powder in that region, and perhaps some shooting ranges,public and or private? I'd like to hunt there too. Is there state land available? Thanks, Duane

    1816 "hybrid" 1st range session

    Tried out my rifled 1816 the other day for the first time. For once, there is little to do as far as sight adjustments. The windage is about perfect(at least at 25 yds) and the front sight needs some filing. My standard load for my rifled 1842 was tried first. 70 gr of 2f GOEX and a 500 gr...

    Half sole frizzen

    Can anyone recommend a person who does half sole jobs on frizzens? I have several replacement frizzens for an original 1816 lock reconverted back to flint that have resisted efforts to reharden. Thanks, Duane

    Patent breech, again

    Being totally fed up with the fouling and ignition problems I was having with my flinter, I sent the barrel to Dennis McCandless for a new breech. He called me after receiving it and we discussed what he thought was the best way to proceed, which is a patent breech based on Manton's. I agreed...

    Can anyone suggest a gunsmith who could modify an existing tumbler or fabricate a new one with three clicks instead of two-similar to those on trapdoor locks? Duane

    Never too old to learn........

    First day out this year for whitetail. Gun of choice was a musketoon length rifled Springfield 1842 rebuilt from a shortened original smoothbore. I still hunted to my stand, pulled off the cap so I could hoist the gun up safely. Recapped with the same cap and settled in. 45 minutes later, a...

    Flint patent breech

    Having read a number of threads about the pros and cons of patent breeches, I'd appreciate some feedback on my situation. The .54 cal. barrel has an early version of "Nocks" breech in that it has a standard flint plug that has been bored out for a powder chamber. I've had fouling problems that...

    Colerain .54 cal

    I recently acquired a Coelerain barrel for an 1817 Common rifle as part of a lot of parts on auction. My intent was to sell it but if that doesn't work out, I may take a stab at building an 1817. I've never owned a Colerain and I'm a bit curious about the 1/56 twist. It seems kind of fast for...

    1816 musket stock restoration

    Does anyone have experience with stretching a cut off full stock to bring it back to original length? I plan on doing so with an original 1816 musket stock and a new forend piece. My intent is to put the joint at the middle band, but I'm not sure what joinery method to use. I'm thinking pins or...
