    '70'S Belgian 1763/66 Charleville????

    Anybody have any experience with a Belgian made Charleville??? Believe I found one at a good price, looks ok but most of seller's pictures are blurry...it's not a '77, and looks to have been a reenactor's gun as it also has the US markings found on some French pieces that were given to us during...

    Musket Lock??

    Anybody know the plate dimentions of the Pedersoli Brown Bess lock? Anyone know of a good lock to use for a COS type musket? L&R QA and Chamber's English seem a little on the small side.

    Pistol Lock question???????

    Planning a pistol build and have a question...which will lead to another, and so on, I'm sure. :haha: I like the M&G Continental lock, which measures 5 1/2" X 15/16". Would that be way too big a lock for a 10 to 12" barrel? There's a pistol on Mike Brooks' site where he used a Dale Johnson...

    Pre carve lock inlet ???

    Ok guys, if this is a stupid question, I appologise, but have a question pertaining to a lock inlet on a precarve. Say a vendor has a stock pattern you really like, but it comes with a lock inlet for a large Siler, could you inlet a Chamber's Virginia lock in it's place? I know the easy answer...

    New Smoothbore!!!!

    Ok guys, I've been reading about your smoothies for long enough....it was time for me to join the fold! Just got a really nice 20GA from Jackie Brown in today! It's more of a smooth rifle than a fowler as it has the cheek piece and rifle guard, but it's a looker none the less! 46" barrel...

    1816 Musket barrel work?

    Ok fellers, who can either 'stretch' a barrel on an 1816 musket converted to percussion, or make a new barrel for one? It has the "Belgium" style conversion with the cone in the barrel. Looks like this.

    Pistol parts?

    Hello, been lurking and reading, and finally signed on. Does anyone know of a good source for pistol parts or kits? I do not want a Kentucy pistol, and that seems to be what is offered. What I'd rather have is a military styled pistol, flint lock, styled like the military ones from the...
