    FOR SALE Kentuckian .45 pistol barrel

    Here is a barrel that is perhaps useful as a replacement or a build. It is 10” long, 13/16” bf. Set up for flintlock, not drilled. That part could be removed and a drum used. I do not believe it was used/fired, however, there was storage rust as well as a coat of paint which I removed. The bore...

    A mushroom/patch knife

    A quick project I did the other day. This should be a handy knife for general use. I made it from 1890’s buggy leaf spring material. I have no idea what the composition of that metal is but it sure makes nice blades. White tail antler shed I found out back.

    CVA .45 kentucky rifle barrel

    I picked up this NOS barrel recently in the hopes of running into a poorly maintained rifle in the future. One with a rusty bore. I have a CVA kentucky already and it is in very good condition however the idea of having another with a new barrel would be nice. After looking at this new barrel...

    Left hand threaded drum/bolster

    I was working on an Euroarms of America, Winchester ,Va, kentuckian pistol barrel in percussion. An NOS barrel that had an odd bolster /drum that I wanted to replace with a standard drum or touch hole liner. I tried removing it as usual, no rust involved and it snapped off. I just now drilled it...

    Applied brass

    Any hints as to how this brass was applied to the barrel? The tang? Inlet into the barrel material? Solder? Thinking about doing this interesting detail.

    Starting another build, A flint pistol in .45 with a 12 inch 7/8th barrel. This one will be needing a brass nose cap and is going to have a small wedge and tenon holding the front portion of the stock to the barrel or a pin depending on the look. Not sure about using an under rib. I will be...

    Clean out screw

    I see that on some percussion drums and snails there is a clean out screw. Some are very small with others being larger. I also notice many set ups do not have a clean out screw. I feel it is a good idea to have that feature and think it is good to add that if there is enough "meat" to have it...

    Kentucky from a piece of this and a part of that.

    Inexpensive parts build. Pedersoli stock, Bondini NOS barrel, CVA lock, Ted Cash thimbles, nose cap and rear sight, Log cabin shop trigger guard. Not the look I was going for but its ok. Really wanted an old look, not new. Note how the trigger guard is more like a bronze and it is harder than...

    sheet brass end cap used to fix stock to barrel

    Here is my way of using a Ted Cash sheet metal part to secure the end of the barrel to the stock on a Kentucky type Pedersoli pistol stock. The cap is inletted and fitted as required. It is bedded in an epoxy walnut (in this case) sanding dust mixture. A precision machined block is fitted to...

    Brass or iron for triggers

    Was brass ever used for triggers on non-reproduction muzzle loaders? I see some modern made reproductions using brass. I see none on original pieces. Why?

    Building the Bondinopedva pistol

    A fine, accurate..Bon...Bondinopedva is what you get when you combine an NOS Bondino W. Parker barrel(1974), a Pedersoli kentucky .50 cal stock and an NOS CVA bridled flintlock. The .45 barrel is 1 inch longer (11") than the Pedersoli shown. Also 7/8 as opposed to 13/16 that was in the stock...

    Why brass over copper?

    Why does brass and to a lesser extent, iron, German silver, seem to be used exclusively for the furniture on a muzzle loader? Why do I only seldom, if at all, see copper being used for that purpose? Was or is it too soft? Was it more expensive than an alloy?
