    Bench testing a flintlock

    Much has been said about the "poor" quality of Indian built locks and the extensive repairs requiring them to be brought up to quality standards. I have a pistol I am going thru. TRS has a comparable kit at roughly 3 times the price (kit vs assembled India gun). After dressing and hardening...

    What size bore at the breech?

    I've been looking thru my books and have been trying to find what the bore would be at the breech for an 8 inch howitzer. I would think comparable to a 12 pounder? I'm thinking the bore should correspond to another cannon to aid in charges and firing but can't confirm.

    Opinions sought triple barrel

    I am playing with these triple barrel parts and am thinking about the barrel build. The bottom barrel is a 32 rifle and much smaller than the top two (62smooth and 50 rifle) and tucks under. Naturally the breach forms a triangle but the muzzle is where I'm undecided. Putting both muzzles...

    Need help, underhammer rifle

    If this is the wrong place feel free to move. I have acquired a batch of parts to build a triple barrel (2 rifle, 1 smooth) with the lower being a custom underhammer flint. Any literature or pictures involving the frizzen/pan and stock fitment for the lower lock would be of assistance for...

    New howitzer

    I picked up a new howitzer (2.25 bore) and will need to make a new limber box and implements. To save time is there anyone producing a proper worm for a good price? I believe I should be able to use a thick nap roller for my swabs unless someone has a better idea. Any suggestions for a vent...

    Something Large

    A long time ago I took one of the last pieced of bronze shaft and machined a barrel. It has been sitting without a home for a long time. While building a Spanish carbine for a friend I accidentally set the top jaw down in the shop and couldn't find it. While on a time constraint rather...
