    square vs. round bottom rifling

    Im also interested. Most of the comments have been for conical bullets. What's the difference when using patched balls? I'm planning on building a 32 cal flintlock and am trying to decide which barrel would be the better choice.

    Removing breach plug

    I use barricade on the threads for a rust inhibitor and i found the tape seemed to work better than anti seize. I'm going to switch things up and not remove the plug for cleaning.

    Work square tumbler hole in cock

This gun has seen quite a bit of shooting but I wonder if the steel might have been a little soft to begin with. Maybe I should post in the classified section to search for a...
