    Flint Size for Dixie Tennessee Mountain Rifle

    Hi all, I am wondering what flint sizes fit the Dixie TMR? The rifle came with 5/8 x 3/4 flints but I have read that 3/4 flints will also work. Is this 3/4 square or 3/4 x 7/8?

    Starting work on the HF1803

    Hi Zonie, Thanks for the link. Those Xacto/Excel knives are great, it's like theory were made for gunsmiths. I have roughly inleted the lock, trigger plate and trigger guard. The only trouble is there is a over inleted area the front of the rear of the trigger guard (came like this from...

    Starting work on the HF1803

    Hi Zonie, I guess I am trying to get an idea of what I need to do each job. I only just received the barrel and lock the other day so I can start to slowly inlet the lock (pre-inleted stock) and then inlet the barrel, as well as ensuring vent liner/pan relationship are correct. I have a bad...

    Trigger plate on Model 1803

    Hi all, I am hoping a few members have built an 1803 rifle and can give me some answers as I go along with my build. The question I have today is how is the brass trigger plate,, through which the trigger passes, attached to the stock? I know the tang screw is threaded into the front end but...

    Brass entry pipe for Harpers Ferry 1803

    Hi all, I have started work on my 1803 but the stock and some brass components are still on the way being on back order. I have made a good start on the trigger guard and can understand why custom build cost so much, just finishing the parts would take a fair bit of time. Anyway the next part...

    1803 build question no.1 trigger guard

    Hi all, The first parts of the 1803 arrived today from TOW. As expected will have some work to clean up the brass parts that arrived. The question I have concerns the triggerguard, the rear mounting lug is not central and leaning to one side. Can I straighten the lug or will it break?
