    Frizzen Problem?

    Thanks to everyone for the great responses to my query! I finally was able to locate my mainspring vice and get the frizzen off the lock. My eyes aren't so good anymore and taking it off enabled me to see that what I thought a burr, in reality, just an unfinished casting line. (Now I feel a...

    Frizzen Problem?

    Brown Bear: The musket didn't come with a flint so I rummaged around in the shop and found a humped one that fit, wrapped in a bit of buckskin and installed it. It seemed to be striking the frizzen face a bit too square and too high so I slipped in a little tab of leather to change the angle...

    Frizzen Problem?

    I got a Pedersoli Trade gun for Christmas and have been itching to shoot it but the weather has been prohibitive. Now that the sun has come back and the temperature has risen I've been able to get out to the local range and, in two sessions, I've gotten about 50 rounds off and in the process...

    My Sow's Ear

    I didn't notice any difference in the way it took the stain. My light sanding cut through any patina it had acquired over the years and the tack-protected areas seemed to stain just like the rest of the stock. 'Course I really wasn't all that concerned about it since I was going to replace the...

    My Sow's Ear

    Well, I am a bit stunned over the photo analysis the pictures of this project have been subjected to. Reading the skeptical posts makes you want to shake your head and chuckle. Let me assure you, this is not a photoshop creation. The pistol does in fact exist as portrayed in the include pictures...

    My Sow's Ear

    As a newcomer and someone not near as talented as some of the folks who post on here, I've been a bit hesitant to post on this forum. But, the recent thread about one feller's Jukar pistol has prompted me to share a few pictures of mine. It was a recent gift from a friend who put it together...

    Dixie TN Mt. Rifle Percussion to Flint Questions

    With the help of a friend, who knows more about this stuff than I, I'm too am in the process of converting a Dixie Mtn. rifle from percussion to flint using an L&R lock and vent liner from TOTW. This rifle was a kit and while the builder did a better job of it that I would have, the finished...

    Here's my two guns...

    It was a winter project completed with the help of several friends. Not an exact recreation by any means but not a bad effort fueled by more naive enthusiasm than money.

    Here's my two guns...

    Howdy, all! I'm a new member here and I thought you might like to see my two guns. My first one is a 1.5" swivel gun tube, from South Bend Replica's, mounted on a naval carriage built from drawings in their catalog. It's pretty accurate for a smooth bore though, for the last few years, I...

    Well, I'm back...sorta...

    ...Cause I never really left! Even though I've been a mite distracted for the past 18 years by Cowboy Action Shooting, I've never given up on my front loaders. The wife and I are still quite active CAS competitors but, of late, my eyes keep wandering over to my NWTG, that took me three years to...
