    Need a ‘51 Navy

    Good morning. After picking up an H&R Stalker (probly the closest i’ll ever come to a trap-door unmentionable) on the Forum recently it reignited a longtime interest in the Civil War, and that rifle needs a companion - a steel .36 Navy. My Lyman Remington doesn’t fit my hand, but i had a ‘51...

    WANTED Damascus steel Kabar

    Greetings, All, this might not be the correct forum for this post - if not, i’ll move it accordingly. A good friend, former Marine and long-time police chief is retiring. He was recently caught viewing and sharing knife-porn; to wit a custom Marine Kabar with a Damascus blade. A group of LE...

    Sight adjustment - .32 Crockett

    Good evening All, I just got access to abt 10 acres of heavy timber inhabited by what i’m told is an excessively high squirrel population. I dug out my new to me squirrel rifle and loaded with 25 g of FFFg. Shoots very well at 25 yds for a breezy day, but abt 5” high. What range does one...

    Repairing stock with woodburned vandalism

    Good evening All, picked up a rifle a while back which has suffered some vandalism at the hands of an “artist” with an electric wood burner (sigh). Goofy Indian hydro-glyferics and what-have-you. A number of solutions have occurred to me, such as sanding, bleaching, etc., all of which will...

    Howdah-do?

    Good morning! Just can’t get Michael Douglas’ double barrelled howdah pistol out of my mind. I found two on the internet - a Pedersoli for $1000 and a Lancaster for $13,000. So has anyone built one of these out of a 20 ga percussion side-by- side? I think that depending on the condition of the...

    Nepalese 1853 Enfield project

    Good morning. I recently acquired this rifle from Toothpick in the For Sale section. He okayed me posting a thread on the rifle here because neither of us knew for sure what it was, and we’re both curious fellows. I’ll get some photos posted later due to sitting in my chair covered with my...

    .54 CVA Express Rifle

    So we walked in to the pawn shop and my wife asks him if he has any muzzleloaders. He says, “yeah, but it’s a shotgun”. Short version is, 45 minutes later she walks out carrying a new, unfired as far as i can tell, .54 CVA Express Rifle. I think we did okay, but i know nothing about this and i...

    WANTED Lyman GPP barrel

    Looks like the wife wants to hunt with a .54 Renegade next month. Lyman ran out of replacement barrels after i returned my defective one (to their credit, they sent me a new pistol) so now i’ve got a pistol without a barrel. Anybody got en extra barrel they don’t need, preferably in .54...

I checked totw, deer creek, dgw, numrich, muzzleloader supply, everybody I could think of- no...

    Cutting a front sight dovetail

    Good morning. I’ve picked up some knowledge and tips from reading the forum, and i have a belt pistol without a front sight bearing the name Dikar. I’ve read about determining the width of the slot, cutting many times down to the almost-final depth and then using a cold chisel to snap the...

    Long rifle wall hangers

    Zonie, please move this thread if it’s in the wrong place, thanks. So i’m trying to figure out how to hang these long rifles my wife insists on collecting (innocent look) and the idea just showed up. This is all very basic and a little crude, but take it and make it yours. These run abt maybe a...

    Nosecap-less

    Greetings. I just had an idea which i now have to sell to my wife. Well, maybe not right now, but... Can anyone supply me with a detailed photo or several of a rifle muzzle without a nosecap? My wife thinks my new hobby is buying old Jukars and similar and customizing them in some way. A little...

    Mild steel for knives

    Good afternoon, all. I know, i know, i’ve read 40 posts and internet sites explaining all the reasons why you can’t make a serviceable blade out of steel from the lumber and hardware store. I understand the reasons and the role carbon plays and all that Okay, i lied, i don’t. But i do realize...

    TC White Mountain Carbine

    Good afternoon. I just returned home from an auction with a new to me White Mountain in .50. Almost perfect condition, i’ll check later but i’m not sure it was ever fired. I paid $350, which was my limit - my opponent’s limit was apparently $325. I’ve always wanted one of these and i’m very...

    Bending brass butt plate

    Good morning. I hope this is the right for this post, which perhaps could be titled “A Fool’s Errand”... I have an old flintlock with identical lines to all other Jukars and CVA’s. I’m intending on changing the drop from 3 1/2” to around 4 1/4” (ish), a la old Tennessee poor boy. This will...

    G’day, All. A long time ago i owned, and sold, a maple-stocked flintlock which i recall was a poor boy style but with a full-length stock. All iron furniture, grease hole in stock, very simple. I got the idea while sitting in a turkey blind last week to find a rough, mostly functional rifle and...

A little rough but a one piece stock, some interesting wood and hardware. Lock held in place with a single #10 machine screw but up tight, just in place. I...
