    The "Newest" 1859 Sharps Carbines from Pedersoli

    So I have an old military model Pedersoli Sharps built in 1993, and I had it sent out to Larry Flees who did the chamber job on it and it works great. My question is, that I noticed Pedersoli has changed the way they make the breech face plate, and now it apparently has o-rings a stainless tell...

    Where most Hawken style rifles percussion??

    I see a lot of the repro's in both flint and percussion, but based on the timeframe of the gun makers I was wondering if more were percussion

    Can anyone post pictures of 1861 Springfield

    Hey.....I'm building an 1861 from a kit, and the issue I am working on is fitting the ramrod into the stock. The stock is drilled for the ramrod, but since the ramrod has that "swell" out near the rammer end, it doesn't go all the way into the ramrod channel. I am assuming the channel has to...

    Suggestions for a mold/minnie for an 1861 Springfield repro

    Hey guys....putting together an 1861 from a kit, and I have used pin gauges to figure the bore at right around .580 (my .579 drops in and slides all the way to the breech plug, and the .581 doesn't really want to go in more than about 1/2 an inch). I think a .578 or .579 Minnie would fit the...

    Suggestions for a round ball mold

    Hey all! I have a 1766 Charleville repro, and the barrel at the muzzle measures right around .682 give or take a hair(maybe as much as .685, it's tough to measure with calipers)......so I have been using .672 round balls from TOTW along with a .010 patch, and I've gotten pretty good results. I...

    Moose Molds info

    Just an FYI for everyone....although you guys probably already know. I contacted Ms. Amos of Moose Molds to order a round ball (Moose Balls) mold for .672.......and they eventually replied: "We haven't made round ball molds for almost 4 years....thanks Amos". Nothing against Mr. or Mrs...

    Removing Barrel Plug on Pedersoli

    Hey all, I have a 1764/1766 Charleville replica from Pedersoli...when they drilled the vent hole, they dug the bit into the breech plug leaving a furrow(sorry no picture, it's too deep in the barrel but I can see it). I would like to remove the breech plug, and "soften" out that furrow just a...

    The "browning" on the Pedersoli replicas

    Hey all.....I was looking at a Perdersoli 1841 "Mississippi Rifle" and was sort of put off by the brown stuff that they put on the barrel. It looks like a commercial sprayed-on finish, like paint or Lauer Duracote.....it does NOT look like something that belongs on a period-correct weapon...

    1766 Charleville lock

    So I am building from a kit, a Pedersoli 1766 Charleville musket. I hope you can see it in the pictures, but the centerline of the cock sits a good bit "inboard" of the centerline of the frizzen. When flint is in place, if the flint is "squared up" in the cock jaw, the flint will strike a bit...

    Black Powder dealers in the Midlands of SC

    I've done just about every "search" I can think of to find a sales place for "real" black powder.....all I can seem to find is Pyrodex and the like. That stuff works out fairly well for my percussion guns, but I recently came into possession of two flintlocks, and that just isn't working out at...
