    I am looking for tube sight rings like these (think Dixie without their tube). I use an aluminum tube (3/4 inch) with garden-hose quick-change plastic pieces. BartSr aka Paul

    Spanish Miquelet, where to get a lock kit?

    The Spanish version of the Miquelet is very interesting to me. Does anyone have pictures of how the sear works? How about links to lock kits? Thanks, IdeZilla ala PaulTBarton

    TC percussion Lock, new fly, no workee

    I replaced the fly with a NOS part. The old fly was too worn down to hold full-cock. This new fly cannot hold full-cock either as the sear just slides down until it releases the hammer. The fly face (the part that contacts the sear) is not at right angles to the hammer pivot, hence the...

    .22 cal home made flinter, mostly

    I have here a flinter in .22 cal. It is a work in progress. Cherry stock, this particular piece is way too soft for this application. Re-purposed 10-22 barrel, mostly hand made lock. Other parts from parts bin and DOA rifles, etc. BartSr

    Traveling with ML's

    I want to be able to transport (unloaded) my ML/flint/rifle and accouterments with me while driving from AZ through CA and OR to WA. Do I need anything "special" to thwart over zealous folks during this to/from drive? BartSr

    Flint flash guard

    I would love to put on a flint type flash guard. Last Sunday at the local shoot, I had just set the rear trigger and got ready to shoot offhand. As I raised the rifle up, it went off way too early, early enough that the pinky on my left hand got the full blast of the flint touch hole, ouch...

    A resoled old beat-up frizzen

    I was really tired of trying many times to "fix" this frizzen. I read online that old files work great. Having a bunch of old H.F. files that were too worn to use, I broke off a piece of one. Ground one side to match the beat-up frizzen's face. Since the frizzen had already been tinned with...

    Should I convert a Cap to Flint?

    I have a used .50 cal T/C caplock that is in pretty good shape. I am thinking of converting it to flint, if a T/C flintlock lock (or L&R replacement lock) will fit. I have a hook breech flint plug that was purchased from TOTW. I guess the question is should I do the conversion? The challenge...

    Who made this barrel?

    I have a T/C Hawken flintlock in .40 cal. On the bottom of the barrel is stamped a "M" in a circle. Does anyone know who made this barrel for T/C? Paul

    T/C Hawken Flint Life

    OK, newbie here, 4th time out today and I'm getting about 25 shots per flint. Flints seem to be dark probably English. I picked up a bag of amber French and also have black English ones too. The fellow I purchased the French ones showed me one he took out after 80 shots, looked new to me. On...

    Been here, starting again.

    PaulTBarton, aka BartSr, aka IdeZilla. I started on garage gunsmithing .com, now long gone, bummer. I started making underhammers with help from that site. I have a real pile of all kinds of under and side hammered shooters. Latest UH is a .54 cal Sharon barreled bench rifle. Shooting this...

    Flintlock came in pieces.

    This will be my very first flinter. I picked up a basket case flinter in .45 cal, a T/C Hawken KIT type. It was missing a bunch of parts but it is now working and have shot it in three outings. Cost for the initial spree was $100. Ordered a pile of parts from TOTW, nice folks, quick shipping...

    My latest build

    This is a range report target and photo of my latest build. Using the last piece of a H&A .45 cal rifle barrel (long story there). Walnut stock, homemade brass sights, front with windage, rear with elevation. Homemade underhammer lock, lots of hack-sawing and filing there. It was fun to shoot...
