    Traditions Flintlock

    I have been wanting to put together a flintlock kit, but want an affordable one to begin. After some searching, Traditions seems to have a modest price. Anyone have any experience with these and do they seem to be of acceptable quality?would you recommend one? Is there anything in the same price...

    Measuring Powder Charge By Hand

    Has anyone else heard that if you don't have a measure, you can measure your charge by placing the ball in your hand and pouring on powder until it just forms a pyramid over the ball. It seems like it would be inconsistent, but would it work? Just askin'. Thanks.

    TOTW's French Type D Tade Gun

    Anyone here made one? How do they shoot? Are they hard to build? Track says one of their easiest kits, but I want to know how hard it would be for a first time kit. Also what's the weight and recoil for a 20 ga.? All answers are appreciated and any history of these guns welcome. Thanks, rushcc.

    "Trapper" style knives

    I have several questions about these. First, did trappers really carry these style knives? Any documentation of this? Finally, would a stag handled Case trapper be P/C? It does look pretty mountain man-ish. (sorry, no pics, let me know if you want dimensions). Thanks,rushcc.

    How do I realign the hammer on a percussion handgun?

    I was curious how (or if) I can realign the hammer on an old JUKAR .45 cal percussion handgun. The hammer needs to come closer to the gun, when I shoot, the cap gets very deformed and stuck in the hammer. Watch Your Top Knot, rushcc.
