    Steel Tubing, Aluminum Tubing, Black Locust, A .45 Barrel Stub, Golf Balls and Gun Powder.........What Could Possibly Go Wrong.

    Laminated golf ball cannon barrel coming together. .300 wall thickness. .335 if I use a .035 aluminum sleeve for a tighter bore. Any concerns with using aluminum in conjunction with gun powder? May just go with steel and a thin t-shirt patch so there isn't any resistance. .45 barrel stub...

    Silver Plating a Brass Trigger Guard.....Any Companies You Use and Trust?

    My Traditions Kentuckyish rebuild will have all brushed steel hardware. Not dig'n the brass trigger guard. Thinking about a matte silver finish. Have any of you silver electro-plated brass parts and which company did you use? Many Thanks.

    It's Either a Great Idea or a Stupid Idea.......Undercutting a Traditions Kentuckyish Stock.......Thanks For Looking.

    Undercutting and removing wood from the bottom of the forearm/ramrod channel. It would certainly thin that sub roll of a stock down considerably. No risk of breakage in the thin areas cuzz the stock and barrel will be pinned fo ever. As always, thank you. PS: Google, in its infinite picture...

    To The All Knowing All Wise TMF Crew.....Let's Talk About the CVA Line of FRONTIER Rifles.

    Howdy. CVA put out a .50 caliber line of percussion sidelocks called the FRONTIER. It came in RIFLE form and CARBINE form. I have a .50 caliber Frontier rifle barrel collecting dust and would like to build a short stock rifle with it. Barrel is 28 inches long. 1:66 twist. 15/16th across the...

    I've Searched and Searched but Cannot Find a Scope Base for Frankenstuffer.

    All three of my Frankenstuffer barrels are exactly one inch in diameter. Days of online searching has turned up nothing. Anyone personally know of a base that runs between .950 and 1.00 inch? Any bigger and the base will wobble on the barrel. At .950ish the outside edges of the radius will...

    Calling All Lead Casting Freaks and Gurus.....Do You Remember This Casting Site?

    This lead and casting site, which I can't find now, was/is the single greatest online casting bible you could find. It looked a bit antiquated. Light blue background. Maybe a bit of yellow or gold highlights. Lots of charts for alloy recipes. 10:1, 20:1, 40:1, Lyman #2, tin and antimony...

    Let's Talk About The R E Davis Late Ketland Lock. Great? OK? Junk?

    Let me hear your opinions of the RE Davis Late Ketland lock. It's 95 bucks cheaper than a Chambers Classic Ketland and it's available for purchase. Unlike the Chambers. It's going on a Kentuckyish pistol with a one inch round breech. Greatest thing since the invention of the bacon buffet...

    .375 Caliber Smooth Bore Rifle.....Possible?.....Accuracy?.....Retarded Idea?

    The Frankenstuffer scratch build now has two barrels. A 16ga smooth bore. And a .45 rifle barrel. I thought a third barrel in a small caliber would be fun. Wick's, metal supplier, has 4130 tubing with a .375 I.D. This stuff is finished like a mirror. Epoxying two tubes together gives me a...

    More Important Than Biden, Trump, Ukraine, Ballistol and Pietta Combined.....Muzzle Coning.

    Let's argue about something so important that it may very well impact the longevity of America as we know her. Let's argue about Muzzle Coning and the benefits or detriments of muzzle coning. Personally speaking, I would never ever grind an angle at the muzzle of a rifle that would eliminate...

    Need A Good Muzzle Loading Bandsaw....Hobby Type....Under 400....Best Brand?

    In the market for a good quality bench style band saw for light muzzle loading work/light woodworking. Pistol stocks, small metal parts, barrel chopping, etc. I'll build a wooden structure to support it and weigh it down with lead, so I don't need the added cost of a cheesy metal stand. Would...

    With Traditions Drums You MUST Remove The Bolster Screw.....Pics

    While prepping an old Traditions barrel for a new tang and drum I discovered this. There is a wall between the drum chamber and the bore. With a 1/8th hole drilled through it. That wall is just under 1/4" thick. To see if this is normal or a manufacturing error, I ran a small cleaning brush...
