    Pistol find questions

    My Uncle's sister-in-law bought this pistol at an auction recently. Does anyone have any idea of what it is and about when it was made? All I know about it is that she was told it was early 1800's and there is a "D" with a crown over it marked on it somewhere (I don't know if it is on the lock...

    Which first & another ?

    For all you more experienced builders out there. I guess either I'm not seeing something that is there (from The Gunsmith of Grenville County) or I'm just too dense to figger it out - Should you drill & tap for the lock bolt first or the tang bolt? I have the lock and the tang inlet, but...

    Leman rifle kit?

I have ML's ranging from as small as .36 cal and up to .54 cal, with just about everything in between. I have put together several CVA and...

    Flinters on TV

    Just finished watching the last 15 - 20 minutes of "Elk Country Journal" on VERSUS Network. It was a show titled "Ancient Skills" about a group of men who were into trekking and spending time in the woods with minimal accoutrements and their flintlocks. It will re-air on Thursday 03-08-2007 at...

    New member intro

    Joined this place early last week. Thought it was about time to formally introduce myself. My camp moniker is "Otter". I was born and raised in northeast Nebraska and after 50 years finally had my fill of the brutal winters, packed up the mule and moved to NW Arkansas. I've been attending 'voos...
