    Traditions Kentucky Pistol

    Well, it's been a while and I finally got about 99.9% of my rifle finished. I just need to do some sanding around the tiny holes I drilled to pin the barrel to the wood stock and fill with stain. My lesson learned, you get what you pay for and you get what you put into it. My project was...

    Flintlock kit

    Haha. When i blued my barrel that is exactly the ezcuse i used when i did it my first time. I was trying to give it an old look and i figured imperfections would make it more legit!

    I don't like the look of that rifle. Honestly, roofing or basic house work I will do, cars I only refill liquids.

    Thanks for the pictures...is a method to douse it in acetone and set it on fire? I assume it would brown the barrel pretty well...

    I took off the old "wallpaper" of my wooden trunk from decades maybe centuries ago. I once again have a stuffy nose : / Or maybe its the alcohol.

    Traditions Kentucky Pistol

    So, kinda not my pistol but my rifle too. Look at my bluing job. The pistol barrel is one I kinda did whatever on, you can see it is more brown and if I had more pictures, you could see the splotchiness. The kentucky rifle barrel though is more darker and matches the blued percussion pieces...

    Flintlock kit

    Im almost done building 2 traditions kit. One kentucky rifle, and one kentucky pistol. both have their mistakes from my sloppiness which I knew would occur, but, they were pretty cheap so I bought them to get those out of the way. Maybe ill give one as a gift to someone someday who has no...

    A Word To The Wise For Newbies

    I am fairly certain i inhaled terrible things while scrubbing my late 1880s trunk. Same with my wood stocks for my gun. I am definitely buying a mask, i just felt like cheaping out before but it isnt fun to get that all inn the sinuses

    Does the browned barrel clash with the factory blued percussion set? If so, how do I blue the percussion set? Or somehow make it match?

    Pistol stock blanks

    I have the traditions kentucky pistol wood stock. I can send it to you as something you can go off of, if you carve me out one too :grin: Or send me back a piece of wood slightly carved where I can try and make a pistol frame (id be trying for dragoon). Seriously though, if you want this, pay...

    If i seriously didnt have that nipple. Or whatever itis called muxxlr loading breech? It would be far better. I have pictures in another thread I also did use a thick rag and not small cotton pads. When i do my long barrel here in a bit, in going to use cotton pads. Just working for 12...

    Traditions Kentucky Pistol

    Ugh. That's going to make it quite difficult. There isn't really a neat way to go around it. I guess ill have to use a small cloth. And yes, that was just excess rust, rubbed most of it off with my denim jeans. They told me to use old ones, but I definitely plan on washing these ones and...

    Any Harm in Refinishing a Contemporary Build?

    Whats that thing at the end of it? As in the thing that looks like it doesn't belong?

    Traditions Kentucky Pistol

    Browned my barrel and cleaned with baking soda and water. Had a few questions #1) Is that pitting? #2) Is there anyway to remove this nipple so that I can brown it properly? #3) Just showing it did mostly cover up the letters, enough to my liking. Im not sure more bluing would have...

    I went with LMF. Ive found in my one tome that as long as you can o a continuous line, youre fine. However the nipple is giving me issues and therefore there is splotchiness

    This is kinda fun, but not so cost effective. I can see where there'll be streaks. Like to get this resolved before going to a more expensive set.
