    Pecotonoca (?) kits

    I built two kits from them. Like others said, kits were good in my opinion and they are great to work with.

    Permalyn or Tried and True

    I made my own BLO/beeswax blend. Cheaper than Tried and True and worked out pretty well. It was about 85% BLO, 15% beeswax.

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    I'm do some stuff from Track this week via USPS. I hope I don't have the same issue. Anything gun related and USPS does not seem mix well.

    Breech Plug Fit to Tang

    I was wondering if any of you can alleviate a concern I have. I have an L&R slant breech/tang. They mate up well, but it seems like the breech can just easily slide out of the tang. Is this a problem? I'm used to a T/C style where they actually hook into place.

    Need Advice on Fitting Breech Plug

    This is what I'm working with: Colerain .58 cal straight octagon barrel. L&R flint patent breech plug. .75 x 16 threads. I fitted the plug to seal with the shoulder inside the barrel. The plug is indexed so bottom flat is on bottom. Problem is that I have a 1/32 to 1/64 gap between barrel...

    I've been a member for several years but I do not post very often. So hello, everyone! I am wondering if any of you can recommend a good book (or even website) for describing and documenting edged weapons...say from the 1740s to the 1830s. Looking at it from the North American...

    Tell Me About Your "Horrible" Barrel

    My first flintlock was a T/C Hawken .50 cal. The barrel was bent. I spent many frustrating months trying to get it to shoot where I was aiming. Sent barrel back to T/C. They mailed me a new one. All is good now.
