    1803 Harpers Ferry patchbox lid catch

    Thank you for your response. This is the info I needed. I'm planing on using an old square cut nail as the post. Now I'll get started trimming it to the correct size and then peen one end to form the rivet head. I'm sorry the photos didn't post but your info was enough for me to picture what...

    1803 Harpers Ferry patchbox lid catch

    Looking for suggestion on a Pecatonica River kit. I've finished the V spring instillation in the buttstock. The kit doesn't include the hooked catch that is attached to the brass cover plate. I'm looking for any suggestion on how best to do this and what to make it out of. TIA

    Barrel Rib And Ram Rod Pipes

    This Pecatonica Harpers Ferry build is light years away of the Lymans GPR flinters that you really (compared to this) just put together. I'm ready to solder the barrel rib to the barrel and the pipes onto the the rib. Any suggestions as to prepping, solder, techniques, enlightenment of any...

    Boy Scouts?

    Pick up a copy of Ernest Thompson Seton Two Little Savages. Seaton was not only a founder of the BSA he also wrote the most amazingly fun book filled with ideas for boy out camping! My grandsons are the 4th generation to be captivated by Mr Seaton books. I will not swear it but the first BSA...

    GPR and the L&R Lock

    Thank you for the many responses. As a total greenhorn I value your ideas and suggestions. This being my fist kit and mentally wanting every thing to be as perfect as a kit allows I've found myself short of that mental goal. Never the less even with the alignment as it is I'm feeling a great...

    Refinished my GPR

    How did you heat the barrel for the Plum Brown application? How many applications did you do to get that even finish?

    GPR and the L&R Lock

    A follow up to my initial post. I contacted TOF and was told to give R&L lock company a call. The gentleman I talked to told me the vent flash hole being off center with the pan would not be an issue with a flintlock's ignition. This will not be pleasing to the eye but as the mortise has be...

    GPR and the L&R Lock

    The lock is listed in the TOW catalog as " #lock-LR-05-F upgrade lock for Lyman GPR". And goes on to state "It requires deepening the lock mortise slightly....." The lock I got appears to be the same as the photo in the TOW catalog. The invoice also states it is the said lock.

    GPR and the L&R Lock

    My son gave me the lock when I told him I was building the kit. He said it's a much better lock and he has one on his GPR. He also gave me a Davis trigger group for it. I wanted to install it right off rather than go back later. I've been waiting to start this build till it got hot here in...

    GPR and the L&R Lock

    I've started a Lyman's GPR kit. The lyman lock fit fine but now I've started in-letting for the L&R and this picture says it all. :hmm: Picture is with the wedge pins inserted and the lock mounting screw lightly tightened. [/URL][/img] I guess I'll call L&R and TOW to see what they suggest.
