    Barrel blooms in bad weather

    A few friends of mine have some guns that get rusty when we are in bad weather, which happens frequently, since we're in Florida, and don't have the luxury of putting away our guns when we're doing a show just because it's raining. This rust comes off pretty easy when we finally have a chance...

    Cross threaded bolster

    After a shooting session, I left my percussion Thompson Hawken at a friend's house and he decided to clean it for me. Unfortunately, he accidentally cross threaded the bolster threads when he was putting the nipple back in. Anyone have suggestions for repair? Retap to a larger nipple size...

    Pistols by Wulf

    Here's a couple pistols by Wulf: I saw a picture of a French #9 and thought it would be a good to make. I had a Harpers Ferry lock from years back and a 62 cal smooth barrel. So I made all the rest. The octagon to round barrel is not correct but what I had. Shoots great with 30 gr ffg. 50 cal...
