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.

Can't shoot lead balls all the time - what's better than paper wads?
Where I live I can't shoot lead balls (have to go to a range for that) because the neighbors are too close by. I do sometimes shoot "blanks" (powder with paper wad) but paper just doesn't create a good seal most of the time, and the charge kind of just goes "poof". I like a loud bang with some... -
Can anyone identify this pistol?
This is the piece that got me started. The frizzen is too soft to spark and I've tried hardening and roughing it up. Curious if anyone knows what it is and where I can get parts (i.e., a new frizzen) -
Does anyone harvest and knapp their own flint?
Seems like a natural adjunct hobby for anyone with an interest in muzzleloaders. Is there anyone on this forum who has pointers to share? Thanks in advance.
