    Removing Factory Finish on Traditions Kentucky.

    If you can find some Homer Formby's furniture refinisher that always worked well for me taking old finishes off some of the family stuff we got stuck with. Should work on gunstocks too I reckon.

    MBS has a1/16" pin punch that's pretty reasonably priced. I hope this link shows it: Product Listing

    Pedersoli kit build, then rebuild

    You know, something that occurs to me as I read these posts, is that we can always keep working on a piece, making it better...we're never *really* done, are we? And isn't that what makes what we do here so much fun?

    What got you interested in flintlocks?

    For me, it happened at Fort George, in Canada, some years ago. Somehow, we happened upon a full re-enactment of some battle we Americans would rather forget. But there were scores of cannon, regimental riflemen (with flintlocks) - all up close. It was wonderful. I got a good look at the...

    KY pistol butt caps ain't easy to install!

    Thanks! Haven't yet needed the Dremel! I'm hoping I don't have to cut the stock down too much but we'll see (there is a little room for that, actually). Like I said, I think I can get there eventually. Thanks again.

    KY pistol butt caps ain't easy to install!

    Well, isn't this why we love building/modifying/restoring these things? I'm working through putting a MBS cast brass butt cap on a Pedersoli Kentucky pistol kit, and here's where things stand. The butt of the stock was not shall we say...perfectly symmetrical so one side is a little fatter...

    ...and yet another Ketland Trade Pistol kit from MBS

    Just ordered two belt hooks from MBS because the website didn't say they were out of stock anymore. When received I will cancel the MVT order because, you know, they take a long time...One of those is going on the Ketland

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I started cleaning up (filing, sanding, steel wool-ing) the butt cap I got from MBS about a year ago. I plan to mount it on my Pedersoli Kentucky pistol. There are lots of examples of this in the book by James R. Johnston and the Kentucky Rifle Association published in 1976. If you're...
