    Fly Removal?

    That’s the thing… I don’t think it’s so much wear as improper fitment during the build. Isn’t the fly unnecessary for a firearm with a single trigger?

    Fly Removal?

I’m unfamiliar with this style of lock (and granted, my experience with flintlocks are altogether limited), but this is...

    Fly Removal?

    Thanks, Bob. I’ll take things apart tonight and see if so can’t get a closer look. I’m seriously tempted to temporarily do away with the fly until I can resolve the issue; I’ve got a trail walk shoot tomorrow and my other pistol’s frizzen is undergoing repair/hardening. I really believe that...

    Fly Removal?

    Thanks for chiming in, Larry. It’s just a single (standard) trigger.

    Fly Removal?

    Good morning to all you members of the forum! I was hoping I might be able to pick your brain here. I went to shoot a custom Kentucky flintlock I purchased from another member for the first time, and I was quite disappointed to learn that while sometimes the cock will have a positive engagement...

    First Scrimshaw Attempt

    Thanks, Kerry! This was done with a carbide-tipped scribe and a pin holder with a sewing needle for some of the finer details. We’ve all got our own strengths and weaknesses, man. I think a lot of it has to do with what we’re passionate about and how much time we’re willing to invest into...

    R.E. Davis Frizzen Steel Composition?

    I realize this is a long shot, but I’ve got a frizzen from an old R.E. Davis “Becky” lock that needs to be repaired and the blacksmith was wondering what type of steel it is. Anyone care to venture an educated guess?

    First Scrimshaw Attempt

    At last, it is finished! I don’t even want to know how many hours I have into this thing. While it’s far from perfect, I’m pretty pleased overall with my first powder horn scrimshaw attempt.

    Nipples: To Remove Or Not Remove

    Here’s a slow-motion video of me shooting the H. New pistol. This is just a blank load: 35 grains of homemade powder beneath a cotton patch. I’ve got a ball mold on the way.
