    Lets see some percussion revolvers!

    This one came out well. Worked it over quite a bit. Made a new front sight, debadged, fitted replacement grips. Probably my best shooting revolver.

    Cracked Stock

    This is great information. I was thinking about making the pins from brass, but toothpicks or bamboo BBQ skewers would be better, most likely. Give the glue some thing easier to stick to.

    Cracked Stock

    You drilled for the pin diagonally down beneath the tang so it reinforces the crack but is not visible with the barrel/breech assembly installed?

    Cracked Stock

    I was just getting ready to put this rifle up for sale when I realized there is a crack in the stock. Funny, but I've never noticed it before. I only fired this rifle once after purchasing it and never noticed. Not quite sure what to do with it, but I see it originates exactly where the...

    I started watching the TV series and thought it interesting, so I checked out the audiobook from my library. Right off the bat, the series plot is so divergent from the audiobook, they are hardly related. In the book, the death of Monsieur Trepagny at the hands of Iroquois women is...

    Dovetail Filler

    I once made one from tagua nut for my Shiloh Sharps No.1 Sporting Rifle. It's a nut that looks very close to ivory. It was easily shaped and looked great when it was polished. Google it for resources. I had Shiloh replace that barrel when it was determined it had been crushed slightly when...

    Replacement front sight for Colt revolvers

    I've turned discs of brass and epoxied them in place. Worked really well.

    Muzzleloader Centric Music

    Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack. The part by Dougie MacLean called "The Gael" is one of my favorite pieces. I always tear up when I watch that movie. Does it every time. Starts about 3:30 into the piece. Another Stirring Rendition.

    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    I had no idea about the Midway connection. That's pretty interesting.

    Don Brown Alexander Henry Replica

    No doubt the Don Brown feels good in the hand. It's a great rifle.

    Don Brown Alexander Henry Replica

    Of course, you're correct about the rear sight. Mike Neumann. Think he did the front sight as well? I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can, but I expect I'll let it go. I have too many toys, one being a Pedersoli Gibbs that would take better advantage of the contemporary long range...

    Don Brown Alexander Henry Replica

    I inherited this rifle from a collector and well known gunsmith. It was one of his prized possessions, although he was unable to shoot it extensively. Still, I think it's very pretty. There are some initials engraved on the barrel I'm curious about, as well as the sight set. Hope you enjoy...

    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    This is all interesting information. Thanks so much for those knowledgable individuals who have added to the string. I apologize if I over reacted to comments regarding the photos. I take some pride in the work I've been able to do with the fine firearms I've been caring for the last 30...

    Ram lever extension

    For what he charges, the SliX hand looks really great. I wouldn't want to make one for $20

    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    Mine's not engraved. To be honest, collector value aside, I prefer not to have engraving like that and the applique on the lock on my stuff, but that's just me.

    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    Found one! Here's the horn. Came with a little wooden plug and bootlace leather thong.

    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    Exactly. I was just wondering how I came to have a rifle without the portrait inset on the lock but still the fancy case. The previous owner left a note claiming 1" groups at 100 yards and some loading information. Thoughtful of him. The powder horn is really pretty as well. Looks hand made...

    Browning Mountain Rifle?

    Actually, the case is CLEARLY a real Browning made product, believe it or not. The pics are of MY RIFLE. I am a professional photographer. Maybe I should have just put up some crappy phone photos...LOL
