    Removing breech plug...barrel keeps spinning.

    Any tips to get a barrel to stay put from turning when I'm trying to remove the breech plug? TRS said I'd be able to remove it with an adjustable wrench...but its in there good! When looking down at the plug, removal is counter clockwise...correct?

    Taps

    When doing a bess musket are the taps provided by TOW of sufficient length to tap the various surfaces using the drilled holes as guides (as instructions indicate)...or do you have to take out the various pieces (thumbpiece, trigger plate, lockplate) and finish the taps. 8-32 and 10-32 taps...

    TRS vs TOW Long Land kits

    Any feedback on Rifle Shoppe vs TOW long land kits. One vs the other...any differences, such as stock quality(better inletting), missing items in one kit(pins?), etc. Don't have to worry about locks as I would get that pre-assembled. Are all TRS screws already hardened...things like that...

    Help cutting some brass

    Anyone out there that can cut a side plate out of a bar of brass for me. Probably 1/4 or 3/8 in thickness. It will match a Pedersoli Bess flat plate that I’ll trace. I’m lacking a precision scroll saw. And then round over the body edges (with a grinder) to look like the earlier rounded...

    Question on barrel during build

    Couple of questions about the barrel. During the build there seems to be some sort of router used to rout out the lock. It has put a nice gouge in the barrel near the bottom octagonal below the touch hole. Too deep to draw file IMO. Can I just fill this in with some low-temp silver solder...
