    I dont understand your method. How do you hang your barrel? I did just find out that showers create far more humidity than baths. I had used the spout for bath twice before, now I used shower, my barrel is turning black. Also, by the "nipple" I believe, the piece that sticks out of the...

    I used a dremel, just be careful. I just order a wood rasp set and metal file set off amazon. I plan on using my dremel for big projects, you just again, have to be careful.

    The directions called for it? Told me to jam one in there. Wine cork is a great idea! an excuse to drink wine? Ill take pictures in a few hours when I check on my gun. But man, it is a mess. I don't know how I can stop it from being streaky when I have the inscription and that peg sticking...

    Advice for shaping stock...

    Well, I don't do alcohol with modern weapons. But in making a gun, that requires me to load with powder, ball, ramrod, and a flint, I don't see why not. You are entirely correct about alcohol, I think after my birthday im going to tone it down. So much money I could save.

    No really, I did that. I went out side, found a stick, and rammed it in the barrel. The wooden dowel is to keep the LMF Browning agent from getting in right? Not the moisture of the room itself?

    Crewdawg, do you also work on your guns when you get really drunk? That's about when I get motivated, and I get ALOT done. It might not look so nice, like the LMF Browning i'm doing right now. haha, you guys would be horrified if I sent you a picture of the first round.

    Gah i figured as such. So i can out it on one end of the barrel. Am i trying to seal the barrel so that no moisture gets in? There are 2 screw holes on the end that is blocked off and i believe 2 tiny holes on the other end too. Am i supoosed to somehow seal those?

    I received my LMF Browning. Im going to try and brown my barrel, however I am missing a wooden dowel to seal off one end of the barrel. Any alternatives anyone can think of? And how does one find a wooden dowel which fits perfectly?

    Hehe, what is this, part gunsmith, part blacksmith??? Hardening doesn't seem to be tooo hard, but tapping and filing without another one to outline the drawing against would result in disaster on my end. I guess when I saw the "Our stocks are pre-shaped and in-letted for all parts with the...

    Hmm, I was under the impression (just my own assumption I made) that these parts http://www.therifleshoppe.com/catalog_pages/english_pistols/(568).htm would come with pre drilled and I guess all I would have to do is tune the thing once I assembled it. I'm guessing im wrong? Time to invest...

    Got it. Thanks. Another question for the crowd if no one minds answering. Ive been looking at the riflesshoppe. Apparently they sell pistol kits, for a hefty price. Their kits with the flintlocks disassembled aer about $150 cheaper, a fine motivation to learn how to assemble one myself. Is...

    Advice for shaping stock...

    So, i'd been wondering what to mix my stain and other oils in. Metal tins are cheap from army surplus, would the metal effect anything in oils or stains? Or do I have to buy expensive glassware

    Traditions Kentucky Pistol

    Well, called up traditions as I just realized I can't use a screw near the trigger area due to the collapsed hole. I don't have a bolt that goes down that deep. Guy told me to send him pics, we'll see what he does. I hope I can just keep this wooden stock and somehow hodgepodge something...
