    So i settled on a possible build for my first

    Ya I'd never use a dremel on a wood let alone on something that needs to be precise like a long rifle.

    So i settled on a possible build for my first

    I'm pretty good with wood working and have access to most if not all needed tools, including drills and drill presses. The big this I'll need will be files and most likely a few extra chisels and some saws wouldn't hurt. But I can definitely get the tools.

    So i settled on a possible build for my first

    So I was looking for different bits and traits I like to make a fairly unique rifle for my first and then I saw This video. This is just about what i was looking for. Im just curious how difficult it would be to make something like this? Im not wanting an exact copy but make something similar...

    Question about a site to buy parts for a first build

    Thanks to everyone. I'm definitely getting great feedback, it'll be too hard to thank everyone on there own but thank you all. I'm looking at some of the other sites mentioned above as well. I haven't really picked a specific school just because I'm not sure if there is just one school that...

    Question about a site to buy parts for a first build

    Thank you. Just wanted to be sure before I uy anything and they seem to have better prices than track which is always good.

    Question about a site to buy parts for a first build

    So i have had the book "The Fine Art of Building a Pennsylvania Long Rifle" for about a year. Now I'm getting the itch to build a long rifle but I'm curious about the Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply company. Are they legit? What are your experiences with them if you've bought from them...

    Brown Bess question

    I'm not too sure about that one

    Brown Bess question

    I get what you're laying down. Thanks for keeping it clean too. I was looking around and was able to find all the parts for the 1742 Bess on track of the wolf. Almost everything is in stock. I think I may piece that one together after all.

    Brown Bess question

    Thank you very much. You're definitely knowledgeable about these things. You're a big help Very nice looking. I'll definitely keep that in mind about the prices. What's making you think they will be going up, supply and demand or just general inflammation?

    Brown Bess question

    Thank you very much. Very informative. I'm planning on iron mounting it. I was only curious about the historical authenticity of something like it. I'm not too concerned about if people say it is or not after I made it. It'll be a hunting weapon and I'll be happy with having it be my own design...

    Brown Bess question

    I was just curious about the historical authenticity. I'm not too hung up on it. I think I may put one of these "trade guns" together. It'll seem pretty cool as a hunting musket. Although I think I'll put a patch box on it, I'd like to have one to carry patches.

    Brown Bess question

    That looks great. Ya I was thinking it would be cool to be able to put the bayonet on, nice to see it will work. Where did you get your kit from? Or did you build it on your own? I'm thinking about piecing it together to kind of break up the investment over time. Like I said earlier, I've been...

    Brown Bess question

    Sounds good. I found first model parts on track of the wolf as well as some trade stocks that may work with the barrel and lock but will need to ask them if it's possible.

    Brown Bess question

    I was looking for another thing to put together as my last two ideas haven't paned out as being viable for a beginner or with components I could find. Im still throwing darts at a board at this point. So I found another thing that maybe cool and fun to shoot if it's a viable Idea. I saw a...

    Good place to buy a Jaeger rifle stocks?

    I have recently been persuaded away from building a dog lock musket. So I have been looking into building a Jaeger rifle instead. Track of the wolf has a large amount of parts, but they don't seem to have a stock for them. I'm planning on using a 31" .69cal swamped octagon barrel, and there...

    Opinion on dog locks?

    After some discouraging comments, I won't be attempt this project anytime soon. Thanks to everyone that replied. You have all been wonderful and a source of infinite knowledge.

    Opinion on dog locks?

    Well that's definitely impressive. I don't know it id do that. I was wondering what one of the other guys does. Where did you do that by the way?

    Opinion on dog locks?

    That's good to know. I bet it is. Do you load yours with shot/ round balls and fire at targets, or just powder for a cool way to celebrate the holidays?

    Opinion on dog locks?

    Nice. Around what year do you think that weapon was built? Or do neither of you have a good approximate time

    Opinion on dog locks?

    Those look absolutely gorgeous. I'm thinking about putting together a "poor mans" musket. I'm going to use all cast iron furnishings if possible. I even found a fairly plain looking patch box lid kit and early Fowler butplate on track of the wolf mad in cast iron. I'm planning on using their...
