    trade gun finished

    This was my first build. A kit gun from Pecatonica river supply. 54 Cal. Colerain smoothbore. L&R trade lock. Walnut stain. I used super blue on the barrel then polished to an aged look. Being my first build this was somewhat stressful, so why do I want to do another one already? :idunno...

    is this safe?

    I just got my flintlock back form repair. I had the stock repaired which he did a great job, but My main concern was my vent hole threads. All he did was replace the vent liner, the barrel wasn't repaired. I am really concerned about the threads(or lack of)in back near my breach plug maybe the...

    Flintlock Book

    I just bought a book last month written by Eric Bye called Flintlocks-A practical guide for their use and appreciation. It's an outstanding book, there's Lots of interesting facts on flintlocks. I was always told that ignition was faster by banking the priming powder away from the touch hole...

    CVA Mountain rifle

    I Just received this mountain rifle in a trade for a spare t/c hawken barrel I had. The mountain rifle is an older 70's model with a Douglas barrel. the bore is very clean and the stock has a few minor dings in it. I plan on re-browning the barrel and maybe staining the stock a darker color. The...

    first powder horn build

    I finally decided to make my first powder horn, it was a lot more work than I thought. This was a very thick horn which required a lot of polishing. I even tried a little scrimshaw and realized I'm no artist. This project was a lot of fun and My hat goes off to people like Horner75 who makes...

    New GM Barrel

    My new 54 cal 1:70 twist Green Mountain barrel arrived today. I will be changing my 50 Cal T/C Cougar into a 54 caliber gun. I had this gun given to me 4 years ago by my father in law. Unfortunately I don't think he ever cleaned it. IT was badly pitted and I tried everything under the sun to...

I will be back...

    Lapping a barrel

    I was wondering if any of you guys/gals lap your own barrels and what method you use? I would like to smooth out the barrel on my Jaeger. my cleaning patches always come out with little tears on them.

    I have to polish my frizzen around every 100 shots or so and I also have to resharpen my flints between 10 & 15 shots. is this the norm? does it mean my frizzen is too soft? A friend told me the frizzen spring seems to be real stiff on my pedersoli flintlock could this be the cause of my...

    Daniel Boone

    I'm reading a book titled: "Boone" by Robert Morgan. It's an excellent read, To show you how little I knew about Daniel Boone I didn't know he was born in Pennsylvania or that he didn't wear a coon skin hat. I was just just looking for some input on other good books on Boone, or other woodsman...

    Disability or Ability?

    I failed to mention this in my Jaeger range report. My 20 year old son Travis shot my flintlock for his first time, here is his target. this was at 25 yards. My son Travis has Autism and one of his favorite things to do is going to the range and shooting guns. I would like to say all too often...

    Jaeger report

    I bought my Dixie (pedersoli) Jaeger a few months ago and had some troubles at first with my first flintlock, but with advise from some of you here and lots of shooting, things have really turned around. I also learned how important a good sharp flint is, I switched to Rich Pierce flints and and...
