    Never mind

    I’m not upset. A little surprised, maybe. I asked for help developing a skill specifically related to MLs and I got snubbed cause the sacrificial offerings I do have access to to practice this skill weren’t good enough. It’s whatever at this point. Not worried about it. Like I said, I’ll figure...

    Newb question

    As I stated, black powder rifles don’t move much in these parts. But I’ll be back in that store on Thursday. But even if it is a total garbage rod, I could still use it to as a cheap intro to learn black powder and muzzle loading basics on. But then an in-line Traditions Buck Stalker don’t cost...

    Could make for a fun matchlock conversion…

    Newb question

    Honestly not really sure. I only saw it briefly. I’m going back next week, I’ll be checking it back out then.

    Newb question

    What’s the rebarreling process/cost on one of these? Wondering if that would be worth it.

    Newb question

    I don’t think it’s a Hawken, but it did have a wood stock.

    Newb question

    How could I tell if there’s something in it? And if there is something in it, how detrimental is that and how do I get it out?

    Will do. Thanks that was helpful! So kind of like checking a SAA

    Newb question

    I’ve collected old guns before. So checking the bore off any used firearm is second nature to me now. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was more referring to the fact that I am not practically familiar with ‘lock’ guns. You give me a slide or lever action or a modern semi auto I’m good...

    Newb question

    Got a line on a used TC flintlock for around $200. Not sure beyond that. I’ve never gone to look at a flintlock or bp gun before. What should I look for or be aware of. MLs are not very prevalent in Pasco county so if the price is low that probably has at least something to do with it.

    Laminated stock blank?

    I think synthetic stocks are ugly. Thumb holes are atrocious. The only time I want to see a synthetic stock or furniture on a firearm is when it is designed for wet or marine environments where wood wouldn’t be ideal. I deal with it on AR-15s an other similar tactical rifles, but largely I hate...

    Laminated stock blank?

    I’ll keep looking as that would be preferable to me as I’d probably spend as much or more on the plank lumber that I’d be laminating. It’ll honestly probably be a year before I acquire all the tools and space necessary for cutting a stock. But in the mean time I do have other projects that need...

    Laminated stock blank?

    Sorry if that’s how I’m coming across. I’m not trying to. I just realize that My first attempts are likely to end in failure, I want practice before I buy a really nice piece of wood. I still need to buy a new router, bits, materials, chisels, files and rasps, etc before I can even take on this...

    Laminated stock blank?

    I’ve done very minor stock work and inletting. With things such as Mosins and Carcanos. Most of my wood working experience comes from making electric guitars and router template making.

    Laminated stock blank?

    Notes. Maybe walnut and olive wood be better… could also use mahogany or wenge. But also as I said, I’d likely be using a lot of power tools. Just sucks cause I sold almost all of my tools due to a divorce. I have a lot I need to reaccumulate.

    Laminated stock blank?

    If I did this I would use power tools. And what I was thinking was using Purple Heart for the outside pieces and a wide strip of maple in the middle. Would negate any grain issues as I’d bid using unremarkable wood anyway and letting the color of the wood speak for the peice.

    Laminated stock blank?

    just saying that I never planned on using this technique on a traditional muzzle loader. Was thinking about doing it to a cheap inline and maybe a shotgun just to practice making stocks.
