    Interesting percussion musket - no idea what it is?

    I was at a local auction and saw this interesting musket for sale. Ended up winning it for $300 (i am guessing I paid too much). Anyways, i have no idea what the musket is, it looks like it was maybe a conversion piece from flint lock, as it has this weird percussion cap lock/safety. From what I...

    Which caps to use with Revolver

    I recently brought a Traditions 1861 J.H. Dance & Brothers in 44 Cal. I have yet to shoot it, however I have been doing a bit a research. Currently the gun uses number 10 caps, however I found some replacement nipples that use number 11 caps. These nipples seam like a good idea, since my only...

    I have made quite a few fixed blade knives, and I started on a folding lock back knife about a year ago. The blade is made out of 1084FG, and I thought I would finish it up, as the semester has just ended. :grin: I have never made a folding knife, so I am wondering what type of steel should I...

    I am in need of a basic belt pouch and I would like to make a traditional one. Does anyone have any pictures of ones that they have made?
