    Underhammer Rifles?

    I have one in 58 cal that I bought a while ago on a whim. It is very heavy, with a 1 1/16 barrel and is a rather odd looking rifle. It definitely gets some odd looks at the range. I would imagine that if you did not want to keep it you would have no problem reselling it. They do not come up...

    replacement barrels in Canada?

    Being proud of your country is not offensive. I love Canada, it is a great place to live. Unfortunately we have been saddled with some archaic gun laws and are having a very hard time getting even the really dumb ones changed. Our forefathers really dropped the ball.

    replacement barrels in Canada?

    I would send them ( the cfc ) an e-mail asking the question. At least then you have some peace of mind.

    replacement barrels in Canada?

    Hi Henbrook. You should be able to import a barrel from the states. I emailed the cfc and asked if I could import a barrel from the states. They e-mailed me back and said at present there was no restrictions on importing parts for guns. they did say that you should inform them of the extra...

    Barrier "wad" to prevent patch moisture from getting into powder.

    Hi Ron. I had the same concern so I decided to use the hornet nesting material. When hunting deer or moose in the fall I look in the willows or alders, there are lots of old nests. It is also supposed to help protect the patch. Very little weight to carry and one small nest goes a long way.

    Thanks again birddog, I can see now what I have to do. I would much rather risk looking a bit foolish than screw up my gun by being to proud to ask for advice. All the best. Dennis

    isaac haines buttplate?

    thanks for the help birddog, it seems I am not describing this correctly. According to your measurements I have the small buttplate. this is probably the correct one (dunlap kit). I guess what has me confused is that in all the books, tutorials I have read the buttplate is generally shown as...

    isaac haines buttplate?

    Hi Guys, I am building an isaac haines rifle( from a kit) and trying to fit the buttplate. I have the tang where I think it should be but the toe of the buttplate is still approx .250" above the bottom of the stock. The length of my buttplate is only slightly over 4.5". and I believe that it...

    A Thread Thread

    Good info! One other thing to consider. Taps often come in sets of three. They will all have a different taper (chamfer) on them. The one with the greatest chamfer (known as a taper tap) on it should be used first. the greater chamfer will allow the tap to sink further in the hole helping...

    Dunlap Woodcraft Rifle Kits

    Hi Birddog6, I just recently bought a similar kit from wayne. How did you finish the stock? Most of the instructions I see are for darker finishes. This will be my first flintlock and I really like the lighter colored stock. Thanks, Dennis
