Take and grind the teeth off and sharpen the edge as sharp as you can get it. Then put the hole saw mounted...

Just lightly rub on your finish till you achieve the gloss you are looking for, then a coat or two of Johnson’s Paste Wax to seal and protect the finish...

    Teflon as a patch lube?

    In regards to the Minuteman, unfortunately he has passed away. It was a couple years ago. Jerry was a book of knowledge when it came to black powder.

    Flint lock brand question

    Yes he had a shop I believe down in the Carolina’s. He would come to Friendship and setup and sell his locks, of course this was back in the 70’s. He did a fine job on assembling the Siler Kits, which back in the day were both percussion and flint. Hope this helps ya out.

    Swamped barrel.

    My BP 22 caliber pistol, shoots a 15 grain round ball with a .009 patch with 6.7 grains of O.E. through the chronograph at 1080 fps. And is quite accurate. I shoot it in pistol matches at both 25 and 50 yards. Just sayin…..

    Opinions please

    One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post is to get you some surgical tubing. Its great stuff to use on cracked stocks, chip outs, etc. You can wrap it tightly and it forms to the contours where a clamp us sometimes very difficult to tighten up in the area that you are repairing. Also...

    Opinions please

    One thing to keep in mind on the glue. Titebond II will not show if you happen to get some glue that oozzes out around your repair. However Titebond III leaves a grayish lookin color when it cures. Just my 2 cents worth….

    FOR SALE New CVA 44 Navy Cap&Ball

    Yes i believe you would be correct. The box got thrown out accidentally. Like i said it has been in my gun safe since I purchased it. It is basically brand new, never been fired. Make me a reasonable offer and you could be the new owner. Thanks and have a great day !
