    I am Having a Scottish Musket Made

    I'd like to see the guns you've built. I'd love to have an all metal Scotch pistol. Saw the ones made in India 😖. Thought about a parts set from Rifle Shoppe but the castings are rough and they are soooooo slooooow with delivery. They do a poor job hardening frizzens.

    Lead or Leather

    I forgot to add this. (Another senior moment ?) The British experimented with sheet COPPER as a flint pad for their Brown Besses. Sounds goofy to me! But as the song goes..."Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun....."

    Lead or Leather

    I've never seen an original flinter that still had a flint clamped in the lock that was wrapped in sheet lead. Its always been leather. Now flints and such get replaced umpteen times during long years of use but even the military flinters I've examined had LEATHER pads. The military often used...

    Need a gunmaker for a Tennessee Rifle

    If you have a Tennessee rifle and you are happy with it, who was the builder ? I'm looking for a smith to fix me up. The gun I want is based on an original. I'm getting pictures done. I picked out the lock and hardware that are closest to the original. Its a plain gun. Now my budget is not over...

    Looking for the pistols used in the Andrew Jackson assassination attempt in 1835

    Thank you for your support. I helped Tim and Terry Todish with their book ALAMO SOURCEBOOK 1836 and I learned a LOT about the process. It was fun and challenging to put it all together.

    Looking for the pistols used in the Andrew Jackson assassination attempt in 1835

    Thanks for the message. I contacted the Hermitage and they mentioned a letter in the collection that briefly referred to it. I'm waiting for my copy. Jackson accused Sen. George Poindexter of hiring the assassin. They had been on good terms for years but Poindexter had a falling out with Old...

    Looking for the pistols used in the Andrew Jackson assassination attempt in 1835

    I've been researching this for some time. On January 30, 1835 while President Jackson was leaving the funeral of Congressman Warren Davis on the east portico of the capitol, a lone assassin tried to fire two pistols at the old warrior. The percussion caps fired but both weapons misfired. Jackson...
