I've talked with Paul at a few local gun shows. Seems like a good guy. Bought a few small items from his booth/table.

I always make a point to see him at the local gun shows (Saratoga, Albany) pre pandemic. Very knowledgeable. Had a lock fixed by him. Lots of parts.
He hardened a frizzen for me. Great guy and very fair with his prices.
So..., had a friend get shafted at an event. Not a pure muzzleloading event, so lots of tourists, and his Bess musket got pinched, and somebody left parts to a Jap Bess in it's place, sans a lock, and a couple parts.
I contacted Ackerman Arms and scrounged a Jap lock, and a couple ramrod thimbles, and a ramrod. I also needed to fabricate a nose piece, and to redo the lock mortise with epoxy resin.
I think what happened is some ne'er-do-well knew there would be muskets around and brought what they had, and it looked like maybe somebody had tried to use it as a theatrical prop gun. They carried it in, and when nobody was looking, they swapped the pieces and carried one out. Nobody noticed the one going in was not complete, while the one going out was complete.
Anyway, I was able to resurrect Bob's musket back to firing, reenactment condition (well the musket with which Bob was left)
All due Ackerman Arms as a resource..., and some creative wood working and refinishing.
