    .44 Kentucky pistol Flintlock conversion (Pedersoli?)

    I have a .44 cal. percussion pistol that I got in 1969. I talked my Mom into helping me buy it as they wouldn't sell it to a 15 year old. I got it to use as a back up shot for my 28 gauge percussion shotgun that I hunted rabbit with. They were clearing out their muzzleloader selection at a local...

    L&R lock issue

    I built an SMR rifle with an L&R Durs Egg lock. This was a new thing for me as I only built a couple of cheap kits back in the 70's and then got out of the ML thing for a few years (30+). Anyway, the only flint lock I ever worked on/ handled was that old CVA. When I disassembled the L&R, I...

    Banana Patchbox Latch

    I ordered a banana patchbox with my SMR kit. I wasn't and still not sure if I want to have one or not yet. The instructions that came with it (TOW) are worthless. They are for a regular patchbox that goes next to the butt plate. It came with a spring that I'm assuming is for opening the lid and...

    Trigger question

    I posted this in my other thread but am posting it here too in hopes of some enlightenment. Thanks guys. OK, the barrel is in the stock with the tang inlet and underlugs pinned. I'm in the process of working on the lock mortice. I do have to do some shimming under the lock as the stock was inlet...

    Well, now I've done it!

    I just ordered a Southern Mountain Rifle "kit" from Pecatonica. I built 3 rifles from kits back like 40 years ago. They were cheap kits and came out OK. I recently refinished the CVA Kentucky flintlock rifle. You guys have inspired me to bigger things. I have always wanted a "real" long rifle. I...

    So, I got the bug to make a horn.

    You might say I was inspired by the guys on here that have made horns. I just got back into Black powder shooting after a 30 some odd year layoff. I had a horn that was a generic store bought horn with a brass nozzle that had a measure built in. Don't worry, I was smart enough to never pour...

    Another new old guy question about powder

    I have 3 rifles and 3 pistols. 2 .45 cal and one 50 cal rifle. I always in the past used 3f powder in everything. I have been thinking of getting a .54 cal rifle. Can I still use 3f or should I go to 2f and what would be the advantages and disadvantages? Sorry if this has been discussed...

    Range cleaning

    So, I hadn't shot a black powder gun in like 30 or 35 years. I had a Hawken style .50 cal I made from a kit but had never fired until today. When I last shot, I used a liquid lube that was also a "cleaner" that I can't remember the name of. I was using some pre lubed patches. The gun shot great...

    New guy to the forum

    Hi guys. I just joined as I have been thinking I don't have enough hobbies to spend my money on. I am not exactly new to black powder but haven't shot in years. I got my first black powder gun in 1968. A 28 ga shotgun from the back of a Field and Stream magazine. $19.95 plus shipping. I remember...
