    Acra glas solvent/thinner

    I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a substitute thinner for Acraglas. The few places I've found it so far double the price up with what I assume are Hazmat. I know there's a few guy's on here with backgrounds in chemistry, and a few more who paint their bbl. channels with a thin coat of...

    Barrel shopping

    I've so far zeroed in on two Rice profiles. The American Heritage and the Lancaster/Dickert, Both 44" and will be in 40 cal. This will be for an offhand target application. My current impasse is whether to save 1/2 lb. by going for the A wght. vs the B. 'Any one here shooting either of these...

    Measuring 'throw' of the cock

    Do any of you fine folks know how this measurement is made? I assume the start point would be the center of the tumbler and from there possibly the flat of the bottom jaw (?). I ask because Jess at TRS always gives the 'throw' meas. of his locks and have often mulled the prospect of using...

    Dauphin County rifles

    About those Dauphin Co.'s by P. Berry. For whatever reason, seeing them in The Kentucky Rifle by Lindsay decades ago has piqued my interest to today (I still have that book). I found Smart Dog's build thread from back in '21 but it didn't finish with the completed rifle. I sure would like to...

    New Avatar with Stuff I want

    So, either here or on ALR a fella posted a pic of this print he saw in an old house somewhere and I jumped all over it. Look close at the avatar of this Dutch hunter, his dogs, gun, and gear. I want one of everything he's got ! 17th c. Dutch. It's called The Hunter by Adriaen Beeldemaker and...

    Nescapi Coat project

    Here are pics of a Nescapi Coat I made back between '99 and '02, for your entertainment. I launched into the project simply because I thought they were so slick, and I'd never heard of anyone doing one. So....., off I went, on a three year quest. Without a book titled To Please the Caribou by...

    More Hudson Valley Dutch stuff

    This is my latest 'bun in the oven'. Almost done. If I get the pics up ok, the pic with the paper tracing and the fowler shows the tracing of one of two originals that I'd gotten 25 yrs. ago at The Senate House Museum (Kingston, NY).

    No Such Rifle !

    Yes Gents, there is no historical basis whatever for this flight of fancy, so, 'tongue in cheek' is the approach we'll be using. OK ? It's a rifle made here in the Hudson River Valley, 3rd or 4th qtr. 18c. A customer walks into an old Dutch gun builders shop with a rifle bbl. and wants a gun...

    M.I.A.

    What happened to the Hudson Valley Fowler's builders nook I put up some time back ? There was a good start on useful info there and now I can't fine it anymore. (?)

    Hudson Valley Fowlers Builders Nook

    Once upon a time (late 80's thru the 90's) I'd set out to put HVFowlers on the builders map. Not just for myself but to make the possibility viable for others. Very early on only Kit Ravenshear and myself were involved. KR building just one for a customer which he called "a silly long gun". And...

    aqua fortis choices

    I'm planning on using aqua fortis on my next gun and was wondering If some of you out there have used different brands in the past. Specifically I'm looking to get that orange/red highlight and I wonder if one brand might lean that direction as upposed to others. I understand the wood itself is...
