    Barrel metal composition or type?

    Thanks everyone. I was looking at Dixie Gun Works and they had some barrels state their composition. 1137 usually was common for Green mountain and others. MM

    Barrel metal composition or type?

    Does anyone know what the common 4 digit designation is for muzzle loading barrels? I teach modern gunsmithing at my local community college here in NC.

    Want To Shoot My Brown Bess

    Matt from NC here. I do some living history and wanted to do a penetration test of my Brown Bess at normal battle range. How far apart were the lines of troops when they were firing at each other? I was planning on using a few layers of 3/4" plywood and 80grs of 2F. I watched the gunsmiths of...

    Tomahawk Failure

    Matt from NC here. I make this Hawk and everything was cool till I hardened it. I fed it in to the forge eye first and got it hot. Before that I annealed it three times at progressively lower temps. I think I got it too hot. I didn't see sparks but it may have been close to welding temp. I...
