    My Newbie Gear & Rifle

    Looks good-you may want a screwdriver to remove the lock and a small one for sight adjustments.

    just a gun

    I fell in love with daves export grade fowler and set out to build one. After many compounded errors I think it could be called a 1750 english trade gun. I still am in progress with it and its not too bad for gun # 2.

    big chip

    Hello-while working on the ramrod entry I have a chip that broke out and I was wondering what glue to use to put it back in.It is a rather obvious spot also thin as the channel is right under it. Thanks folks, Bill

    gunsmith

    I am building my first one too and messed up on the tang. Its very frustrating but I fixed it the best I could and at that point realized that it wont be perfect but the best I can do.

    making wood filler

    I did the same mistake but just took out more wood on the other side then welded on my tang.Filed it down to fit the wood. Like the song says-its not love but its not bad. :hmm:

    Breech plug

    My first too,same thing happened.It appears to me that the sharp rifling had damaged the plug wich then was difficult to remove and damaged.The barrel threads were fine and I ordered a new plug-10 bucks.

    Bent Barrel?

    I think Im in the same boat on a build.My barrel fits the channel just right one way butif its flipped a few flats-it is off center and must be forced in the channel.Im on the verge of ordering another barrel.
