    FOR SALE For sale muzzleloader parts

    Up for your consideration is a group of muzzleloader parts. Mostly sideplates but there is some other stuff mixed in. The breech plug does not fit the 1 inch wide barrel I have so I'm assuming it's 15/16. Most of the items came from track of the wolf. I'm asking $300 shipped to the 48 states. I...

    Does anyone make a full round or swamped smoothbore fowler barrel with a flat on the top near the breech?

    Looking for a barrel with a flat area at the top. Usually these are triangle shaped and have the gunsmiths name and city on them. Barrel diagrams from Rice and Colerain do not show this so i was wondering if anyone knows of a barrel profile that does. These only extend about 6 inches from the breech

    Unique left handed sporting/fowling gun from the F&I war era

    I found this while looking for wilson locks. The gun was made in London and dates from around 1750. I learned that caywood guns sells a left and right hand copy of a Wilson lock as well so this would be a good gun to copy for a lefty looking for a period correct firearm. Probably not acceptable...

    Anyone sell a smoothbore pistol barrel that is straight and not swamped or oct to round?

    I've been wanting to build a simple English pistol like this but I can't seem to find anyone that sells a single straight round barrel. Anyone know of a barrel maker that sells one or did they all just use swamped barrels and my eyes are playing tricks on me?

    How many barrel wedges are enough for a heavy halfstock barrel?

    I have a 8lb 1 1/8" barrel that is going on a halfstock to make an english sporting rifle or chunk gun. I initially was going to just have 1 wedge but should I have 2 or 3 to hold such a heavy barrel? The stock is going to be thick to help hold the barrel

    Does it matter what side the lock is on a pistol?

    I'm left handed so I find myself using left handed rifles but I'm thinking of building a pair of pistols. Does it matter what side the lock is on since I wouldn't have the pan next to my eye? It might be easier to prime if I hold the pistol with my left (dominate) hand and prime with my right
