    Problem with ignition on my new Hawken

    I completed a replica of a late Hawken some weeks ago. TOTW components and a Rice 58 caliber barrel with their patent breech. Finally got to the range today, snapped a couple caps, and loaded her up. Same load as I use in my Marshall rock lock: 85 gr FFg, 0.010 lubed pillow ticking, and a 0.570...

    Finally starting my pistol; one more decision

    I attached a photo of my recent Hawken project with a 20 year old Chambers Marshall rifle. I really like how the rust blue came out on the Hawken, and I think I will do that to the pistol. It will certainly be easier to boil a 9" barrel. The next decision will be Laurel Mountain maple stain or...

    Jaeger "From Scratch"

    I was asking about Chambers' jaeger lock on the Flintlocks Forum, and folks kindly filled me in. Looking at Rice Barrels website, I see they have a TOTW 31" barrel and a 32" Chambers barrel.

    Hawken metal finish

    Progressing on my TOTW late Hawken replica and thinking about finish for the metal. Previous projects have all been brass mounted flintlocks, and this is my first iron mounted rifle of any kind. When I say "late", I mean 1850 or later, as it has the slant breech. The lock plate is polished, but...

    Aqua Fortis

    Has anyone used this to darken a stock? I am putting together a replica (close as I can) of a half stock Hawken, using parts and a stock blank from TOTW. It's a plain blank, but it does have a little figure. I have 4 flintlocks under my belt, plus a number of modern rifles restocked. Always used...

    Chambers English Pistol

    Anyone put one of these together? I am considering one - something different. I've built 4 flintlocks and currently have a half stock Hawken replica on my bench, but I have not done a pistol.
