    Taps, what is your choice? (technical question)

    Its not the speed thats breaking the tap its the misaleingment with the hole that breaks it. And spiral flute taps don't need to have the chips broken as they pull the chip up out of the hole. And be careful with the carbide taps as carbide is brittle. They won't flex like steel will.

    Flintlock Rifle Building Website or Links

    My computer was having problems and my wife decided to wipe it clean and reload all the software. The problem is that all the bookmarks I had on rifle making are now gone. If you have any helpful sites or links please post them up. Thanks

    a box arrived today...

    Since some here like the barrel see if anyone would buy it for what you paid or send it back.

    Chambers kit question

    Thanks. I was hoping to avoid cutting a dovetail but I guess I will. I guess the size depends on the sight to go in or is there a standard dovetail in rifles.

    Chambers kit question

    I noticed that the barrels with the Chambers kits do not have the rear sight dovetail cut. Track of the Wolf will cut the rear sight if you have the gunsmithing done. Why do they not cut the dovetail for it?

    AARGGGG!! Helicoil GM

    I don't think drilling and tapping was the problem. Someone was putting the wrong nipples in.

    Stock question

    From Pecatonica Rivers Site; "I have a blank. Can you carve a stock from it? We can carve a stock from your blank as long as the pattern will fit onto the blank. The cost is $55 for a fullstock and $50 for a halfstock."

    Rice or Colerian????

    And how about Long Hammock Barrels, and W. E. Rayl? I saw that Chambers uses them also. I haven't heard of them but I'm still very new and still deciding what gun to build. Although I guess with buying a Chambers kit I get what they send.

    Squaring the round for lock parts?

    If the square stock is the size you need and its indicated in the four jaw chuck that would be the easiest.

    Coneing, I did it. Joe wood tool

    I am a machinist by trade. I am laid of from a shop that makes cutting tools. I am not familiar with the reamers that are used in gunsmithing. I am just trying to get an understanding of the whole coning process. I am planing on building a flintlock ml. If you had a reamer with the correct...
