    Just don’t say they are “gun” parts. Big Red flag. Metal pieces will suffice.

    Trigger sear position

    Check out the information on this topic in Peter Alexander’s The Gunsmith of Grenville County. He explains and illustrates the sear/trigger relationship very well. I, unfortunately, do not have my copy of his book with me, so maybe someone who does can photo the page(s) and provide them for you.

    Flintlock pistol

    As far as I know there is not a Kibler-like kit, one that is mostly done for you. I just completed a Kentucky pistol from Clay Smith. His kit is very nice, but not just a “snap together” project. I have built many guns over my life and I found this “kit” to be of great quality and mostly good...

    WANTED Kit - Shotgun, rifle or handgun

    And with a little research, you can actually make them look like originals as compared to just “assembled”.

    Did the finishing touches on a pistol I assembled from a Clay Smith Kentucky kit. A bit more challenging than a Kibler, but I wanted a companion pistol for my .54 Woodsrunner.

    Thanks for the compliment on the patch cutting idea. I can NOT take credit for it however. One of my “Girty” brothers who worked at a gravel pit here in WNY came up with this method. He apparently had access to many large ball bearings that were used in crushing machines. Sadly, Al “He Who Kicks...

    I needed to cut some patches today. Here is how I do it. Bought 1 yd .014 cotton ticking at JC Penney. It is 60” wide. I use a 1 1/4” iron pipe nipple (6” long from Lowe’s) and a 2” steel ball Amazon). After folding a 2” wide strip of the cloth so that the strip is 8 layers thick, it is layed...

    Sex in Muzzle Loading Terminology?

    In 1986 the Simon Girtys were participants at Albany, NY’s Tricentennial. One of the events was a group shoot. My late wife was shooting her little .45 flint rifle and hitting quite well. After a few rounds, her gun started to just flash and refused to fire. She realized the touch hole was...
