there was a member on bushcraft usa that I believe was Daniel, cannot remember his name on that forum. Maybe it was robert redfern. I hope it's ok I mention another forum but I' just trying to help...

that's awesome

That's a great way to work around a flint to percussion. I'm fortunate when it comes to bp. My father and myself bought a case a peice years back. Still have a bunch of it left.

thanks, I'll look that issue up, may even have it. Seems like I pick up a magazine and don't get around to reading it. Never thought I would spend that kind of money on a muzzleloader, what the heck...

sounds good, I'll get the bridled. One thing about the Caywood, theyre not low cost. This kit will set me back 1300 to 1500 dollars, I think it's worth it. The downside is it's going to take about 6...

because of this thread, I decided to pull the trigger on getting a Caywood north west musket kit. Flintlock, plain maple stock, 20 ga, big bow trigger guard, nailed on buttplate. Can't decide on the...

Been dealing with a tornado, power outage and wet basement. My popcorn sutton book, me and my likker and my wildcat cartridges combo edition got wet I think I can salvage them, damn.

I remember...

you'll have to take it off. do you have a needle file set? The full cock notch possibly needs squared and deepened and the sear mated squarely to the full cock notch. I don't think a slip stone will...

I haven't mentioned hog rifle yet...

I got close with a snider enfield, some 24 gauge all brass hull but then I found some headstamped 577 from track of the wolf. Not a rock lock and not a frontstuffer. But a blackpowder arm made by the...

I've been thinking about those as well. I red that Manuel Lisa carried a cut down brown bess but can't find any real info on that. Bottom line is I want a flintlock LOL.

happens every year about this time

I can imagine, spent some time in Palastine, Tx. in August..

I not so sure, humidity tears me up but dry heat not so much, must be in my haid.

dry or humid?

I've been looking at a brown bess "kit" from IMA. Just don't know what to think about shooting a 200 year old gun.

I have wanted a rifle by Hacker Martin. I have read that he wasn't a great craftsman. I think he built a rifle about as close as accurate as could be for the times. I loved reading his letters to...

I've been wanting to get a flintlock. Thinking about a fusil de chasse or a northwest trade gun. Only tips I can give is go slow, keep your chisels sharp. For a spotting compound I have used prussian...

Rebel, that's really weird I thought I posted the same link this morning about 7 oclock.

I found at a garage sale a m72 with barrel for 100 and two vz-58 with barrels for 50 each. I haven't found a vz-58 receiver other than one from Cold Steel solutions. I'm not sure about that receiver.

here's one I found interesting

the angle iron jig I used is not what most folks use. Usually there is a jig that is used in a H-press and it forms the flat with nice square corners. When I built my Romanian, I was trying to built...

there are 80 percent receivers available that are already bent, welded in bolt guides. I think Childers has some for around 75 bucks. I picked up a m72 receiver from them, it was close to a 100...

here's a link to one I put together a few years ago
