    Strange rifle

    In late 1800s the Springfield Armory converted many Flint lock muskets to percussion in that manner. The one shown is a mod 1816 converted in1848 this was an armory conversion.

    Standard thread size for ramrods and attachments.......

    My Kibler Colonial 50 cal. came with a 8-32 tapped hole in the RR tip. The Jag I bought came 10-32. I chucked the jag in my lathe cut off the 10-32 end and tapped it for 8-32 then screwed in a 8-32 screw and cut to length.

    .32 Crockett rifle cone wrench question

    I took a normal nipple wrench, removed the handle, chucked it in my small lathe and turned it down to fit. Grinding as Stub said would work to.

    Doglock New England Fowler Cookson India Made

    I wish I had seen this post last week. I ordered a 1795 Springfield from Veteran Arms knowing that I would be getting just what I paid for so to speak. I knew that coming from India I would have plenty of work to do on it but felt I could deal with it. I didn't know that it would be a year and a...

    Fowler piece guidance

    Is it possibly Seth Johnson he was a Committee of safety gun smith from 1772 -1777 I believe. I have a Fowler made by him that has been converted to percussion.

    Powder and guns

    My package tracking showed the same route as yours, Idaho to Troutdale Oregon then another town in Oregon and on to Nebraska then Iowa and now it sits in Ohio for over 24hrs. the 24hrs. in Iowa was due to bad weather and high winds I understand that.

    Powder and Guns

    I posted this on the Percussion page by mistake. I ordered 5 lbs of Black Powder from Buffalo Arms before Thanksgiving and received word it shipped on Dec 9 and was due here yesterday, Dec 15. Well, it was a no show so I tracked it and it appears to be stuck in Iowa. I since heard this morning...

    Pedersoli Frontier Long rifle

    Pedersoli Frontier Long rifle

    yes on the Lehigh sweeping buttstock but the tang screw goes into the trigger plate not the guard, I believe there must be a separate screw from under the trigger plate into the front of the guard. So far all the pictures I have found of the Frontier agree with this gun. I am just curios if...

    Pedersoli Frontier Long rifle

    A friend came by with what he thought was a Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock in 32 cal. after doing a little research I believe what he has is a Frontier Long rifle in 32 cal. flintlock. I was surprised to see no pins attaching the stock to the barrel and no pins attaching RR pipes either instead...

    I thought I had a 1795 Springfield Musket.

    Thanks for the information I just checked out some pictures and it appears to correct.

    I thought I had a 1795 Springfield Musket.

    After doing a little research I find a few things that don't look right such as the long breach plug tang and only US stamped on the Lock. This gun obviously started life as a flint Lock and was converted to percussion with a drum and nipple both missing. The gun was also shortened some amount...

    what have I got

    I thought I had an original Brown Bess, but after comparing this gun to replicas and pictures I am seeing many differences, such as the shape of the side plate and carving around the barrel tang, the trigger guard and the Lock has no Tower or Crown, obviously it has been converted to...

    Pietta 1858 New Army

    I just bought this revolver in 44 cal and am quite happy with it although I do feel that the fit and finish on my Uberti 1851 36 cal. Navy is a little better, There are a few sharp edges here and there and the fit of wood to metal isn't as good on the Pietta. That said it is a joy to shoot and...
