    Browning solution woes

    Back in the 70's when Green River Rifle Works was operating in here in Roosevelt Utah, they came up with a formula for an acid browning solution that produced one of the finest end results I have ever seen. I got some of this stuff from Doc White a number of years after they closed their doors...

    Problem with Pedersoli Jager

    I have a real nice Pedersoli Jager flintlock, but have a problem with it. I didn't like the fast twist rifling, honestly would not shoot patched round ball worth 2 cents, so had a gun smith redo it from .54 to .58. He did a great job, however the silly thing also has had very inconsistent...

    Black powder Storage Question

    Ok, so there is a thread on here dealing with the pros and cons of this argument, and I am not going to poke the bear with a stick on that one, but I do have a question which does cross the line a bit. My question has to do with where and how you store your black powder? When I first got into...

    Trouble with Pedersoli Flintlock

    I own a Pedersoli Jager flintlock which I really like. I love the way it fits me, however I am a round ball shooter and the twist rate was killing me so I had it bored out and rifled to .58 caliber, much better now, except I have always had trouble getting it to spark. Some folks say they have...

    Problem with Pedersoli Flintlock

    I own one of Pedersoli's American Jaeger flintlocks and am having problems with ignition. As I have studied the design of the cock it would seem to me that the flint is hitting the frizzen at too straight an angle, it is "bashing" into the frizzen knocking it forward too soon and not producing...

    Hi folks, quick question. I contacted Robert Hoyt about re-rifling my Pedersoli Amarican Jaeger rifle, real nice guy, been down for a few months but is back up and going but starting to get busy already so I need to get this off to him. He said to just send the barrel, no problem, but I...

    New barrel for Pedersoli Jaeger

    I own a Pedersoli "American Jaeger" flintlock, don't care for the fast twist barrel and was wondering what would be the possibility of purchasing a slow twist barrel and mount it in my stock. I would have to match up the breach plug tang, and mount the same type of underlugs as on the original...

    CVA percussion barrel to flintlock

    I have a couple of CVA cap lock pistol barrels that I would like to use to build flintlock pistols with and was wondering if there is any touch hole liners that will fit the threads and sized to simply screw into the drum opening in the barrel? I can cut the barrels off, drill and rethread for...

    Pedersoli Jaeger

    Ok, so I posted about this rifle that I had been looking at and wanted to purchase for some time, and I finally got one, I'll have to see if I can get my camera working and take some pics of it and some of my other builds, this was not a build, it was a Pedersoli American Jaeger flintlock. It...

    Pedersoli Yeager

    I have a Pedersoli Jeager rifle, which I truely love, but the lock is a mess, the geometry of the cock to the pan is wrong to begin with, and the frizzen doesn't produce a lot of spark, thus I get missfires often. I know there are better products out there in the form of kits, I've looked at...

    Rifle Rest

    I am looking for a primitive rifle rest or stick, what ever you want to call it. I've seen them in years past that were made with a brass or steel shaft and then a brass top in the shape of a horseshoe, like those used by the musketeers with their matchlocks. I've tried the normal black powder...

    Metal finish for browning

    I have completed three rifle builds in the past and browned the barrels on all three, but to finish the metal before acid browning I used a bead blaster on two of them, did a wonderful job, and a sand blaster on the third, not so good, media was too heavy and cut too deep, but came out ok, now I...

    Pistol barrel

    I must be behind the times or don't know what I'm looking for but I can't find any of the parts supliers that sell pistol barrels. I have a couple of stocks and locks and would like to eventually build a couple of pistols, but I can't find any barrels. I thought GreenMountain was making them...

    American Jaeger Flint Rifle Kit

    I am really interested in purchasing one of Pedersoli's Jaeger rifle kits, Dixie has them for just over a grand, a lot of money for sure but I really like the looks of this rifle, more so than the custom kits I see from places like TOW. I know the componants I would get from the semi custom kit...

    I am building a Lyman Great Plains flintlock and would like to replace the set triggers with a single pull trigger like found on the Leman trade rifle. Can any of you see any problems with making this change, is there anything I need to look at as far as what I purchase to replace my triggers...

    Another New Guy

    Hi folks, I'm new to this forum, well I've been registered for a while but never posted or introduced myself here. I have been using muzzle loaders for many years, built several kit guns and then built three rifles and one pistol using pre-shaped stocks with the barrel channel and ramrod hole...
