    Lets see some flintlock pistols!

    I made this from a MBS kit earlier this year.

    Need an I.D.

    Well, right now it seems like none of the retailers have any in stock in store or online. I looked around a little bit.

    Was $250.00 too much to pay for an old replica from a defunct company? 😄

    So it's definitely not a Uberti, huh?

    Need an I.D.

    I just bought this from an old friend of mine who was needing some money. I gave him $250 for it. I may have over paid a little bit but it went to a good cause. Plus it's pretty cool. Fully functional and I like it. He told me it was a Uberti and that he's had it since the mid 1980's. It's...

    Building a pistol kit

    Hey guys, This is probably my last post in this thread. I have finally finished this pistol for good. I'm happy with it. It ain't perfect but it looks good enough for me and it makes smoke so... I'm adding a few updated pics of where it stands right now and where it should be for the foreseeable...

    So you drilled the heads off and then pulled them out with plyers? 🤔

    Thanks for the advice. I'm going to lightly sand this thing back a bit before I begin. Off to woodcraft. :)

    Building a pistol kit

    Hey Dave, let me ask you about the yellow dye. Would Rit dye work? I have used it in the past to dye wood directly but never mixed into the finish. Also, if this stock already has oil in it would the yellow be able to get past the surface? And finally if I'm mixing up a few ounces of finish for...

    Good tips. Thanks. I read your other posts about finish. Very nicely done. At first I thought I would be happy with just oil but as it turns out I am not. Stay tuned and we'll see what I can do with it. :)

    Yeah, this is just tung oil. I was thinking about working on it some more after looking at it for a few days. :)

    I can't edit that post so I'm going to add some pics. I didn't realize that some of those pics were blurry.

    Building a pistol kit

    Well guys, the only thing left to do is a test firing I guess. After a coat of wax and a quick buffing I went ahead and put the pins and screws in it. It all went together pretty well. It looks pretty good though. I'm pretty happy with how it looks. Now I'm trying to decide if I want a little...

    Here's some better pics of my horn project. I pulled the plug that I had made and I am making another one. I wasn't totally happy with it. I will post pics of it when I get further along. I smoothed my stopper out some and got the relief a little better. :)

    Building a pistol kit

    Wasn't too hard really. Just get yourself a caliper and take your time. I'm not sure about rifles but with this pistol there isn't even a quarter inch web between the barrel and the ramrod tube. It was a bit nerve wracking but I did it just fine. I have a big floor standing drill press. Make...
