    Gain twist rifling

    I have a WWII vintage Italian "Carcano" rifle that has gain twist rifling. I have no idea what benefit this gives but there must have been some kind of logic behind it or they would not have mass produced a battle rifle with this feature. Or maybe there was no benefit. Look how poorly they...

    Looking for an "in-the-white" kit

    Afternoon all! I wonder if anyone out there knows of some good in-the-white kits for a English fowler or Northwest gun. Maybe someone has one they started but couldnt find time to finish, or bought but never found time to start. If any builders out there make kits, let me know.

    Anyone in Central KY that builds rifles?

    The problem is the frizzen spring is broke in half. I dont have any way of fixing it so I sent it to someone who said they could. Well, that was a mistake. They welded and tempered to their best ability and it immediately broke again. I just need a new spring but cannot find one to fit a...

    Anyone in Central KY that builds rifles?

    No kidding! I should have posted in this forum long ago! How much would you be asking? Depending upon if it would work for me or not. This lock says 1984 so its pretty old. Its kinda small too. Most rifles I have seen have a little larger lock on them and I would not mind going with a bit bigger...

    Anyone in Central KY that builds rifles?

    Morning all, I am wondering if there are any builders around the Campbellsville, Elizabethtown, Lexington, KY area who could take on a small project. Earlier I had asked if anyone knew where to find Cochran lock parts and I have hit a wall. All leads were to a deadend. So, I wonder if there's...

    Track of the Wolf kits

    Thanks. I am thinking of a French Tulle or Isaac Haines. as for hte wood. I am willing to go up a grade. i dont want to psend too much more as this is the first I have ever worked on but I think it would be at least worth the extra little bit to get a decent stock blank. What do you think...

    Track of the Wolf kits

    I am looking at buying a kit from Track of the Wolf. What can you all tell me about them? Is the quality decent? What about the price in comparison to some others you may know of out there? They seem to be really reasonable from what I have found searching the web.

    Flintlock questions

    Thanks for the info. I did try and call but the numbers not working anymore. I guess i will try and make my own or replace the entire lock. Any idea a good one that will fit into it's place with the least wood-work?
