    My little 32 flinter

    I think barrel is only 39-40 inches , its from a Dixie Tenn. rifle . I shortened the forearm like an original rifle I saw . Forearm is only 10 1/2 inches and makes barrel look really long .

    Going Off Halfcocked, or How I Got My First BP Tattoo

    After reassembling if the parts relationship were very tight tolerances beforehand you may have overtightened the lock screw and tang screw a smidge shrinking the original tolerances. This wouldnt allow the sear to fully engage the halfcock notch because sear would be riding up on trigger bar...

    Semi-custom rifle?

    Wouiiieeeeee !!!!!!!!!!! Boy I am redfaced !! :redface: I had thought that I was told that the rifle was what I posted . :v But when I traded for it I didnt care, I just liked its looks and the fact it was a .40 cal. ! I like the sub calibers for shooting squeaks and chucks . And like I said...

    Lets see some Matchlocks!!!

    I built the 12 for a friend and the 410 for fun and digger squirrels sometimes when they get thick :grin: 410 was from a cast off Stevens centerfire barrel, total cost for parts was 15- 20 dollars.

    Ive built two from scratch , a 410 and a 12ga.. The 410 was a little feller with 25" barrel , myrtlewood stock from plank with rest of parts from scrap metal pile . 12 ga. was with a nice hunk of walnut and a 36" oct/rnd barrel with the rest coming from same scrap metal pile.

    tuning a lock?

    Right on , its a balancing act . Not enough tension when open and it can come back with enough force to bust flints and let hot gases and charred powder blow in your face .

    tuning a lock?

    I would start with the frizzen spring by thinning thickness of top leaf and polishing and buffing it and nose of frizzen.
