    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...

    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?

    Puck Extraction Woes

    I pucked my black powder for the first time last night using the Dabpress pucking die and was having a heck of time extracting the puck. I had to whack it with a mallet until the cows came home! Anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have a solution?

    FOR SALE Navy Arms Model 1858: $300

    Back up for grabs is a Navy Arms Model 1858 black powder/cap and ball revolver (chambered in .36 cal.) I believe this to be early 80’s manufacture, as it came with the 1983-marked powder flask (also included in the sale). The only alteration I’ve made is removing the high gloss varnish from the...

    Flint Leather, Side Fit

    I know that flint position has been discussed ad nauseam, but I visited October Country yesterday and got a chance to speak with the owner (John). I was expressing my frustration with the fact that the flints I’ve purchased (despite being the proper width for my frizzen) are often far too short...

    First Scrimshaw Attempt

    This is my first attempt at scrimshaw on horn. After five hours of holding a sail needle in a 3” pin vice, I don’t think my hand will ever uncramp! I’ll likely do a decorative border of some sort and add some more artwork or a slogan or two… heck, what’s a powder horn without “Liberty or Death”...

    Nipples: To Remove Or Not Remove

    I just purchased this antique percussion conversion pistol from member bornintheussr here on the forum (photos posted here are courtesy of him). Appears to be early/mid 19th century but is in excellent condition. I intend to fire this pistol occasionally (sparingly and with reduced powder...

    FOR SALE Lyman Great Plains Percussion Rifle, .50

    Up for grabs is a Lyman Great Plains Rifle chambered in .50 cal. It’s in excellent condition save for a couple very minute handling marks across the lock (pictured).I don’t believe this rifle has more than perhaps a couple dozen rounds through it, if that! Asking $600 shipped. Please don’t...

    WANTED Becky Lock/Frizzen

    I know it’s a long shot, but the frizzen on my newly-purchased pistol has cracked, necessitating a new one. Does anyone out there have a Becky lock or frizzen that they’d be willing to sell? Thanks in advance!

    Crack in Becky’s Frizzen

    Good evening! I just recently purchased a custom belt pistol on the forum classifieds. I took it out to shoot it for the first time this afternoon and discovered a crack on the lower portion of the frizzen, approximately 1/3rd of the way through. I don’t know if this stems from improper...

    FOR SALE 1851 Uberti London, .36 cal., SliXshots Nipples: $450

    Up for grabs is an Uberti-made 1851 London replica. I’ve only had perhaps a couple dozen cylinders through this guy, if that! I replaced the OEM nipples with SliXshots and it virtually eliminated issues with cap sucking. I’ve simply discovered that flintlock pistols are more my cup of tea. I’ll...

    Up for grabs is a Navy Arms Model 1858 black powder/cap and ball revolver (chambered in .36 cal.)

    WANTED .45 Semi-custom/custom pistol

    Hello out there! I’ve got a fella’ in my local muzzleloading club that’s looking for a custom/semi-custom pistol in .45 cal (either flintlock or percussion). He’d like to stay within a budget of about $500 and would prefer something with a slightly longer sight radius (as opposed to, say, a belt...
