    Bluing

    What do you guys recommend for bluing a barrel? I was going to use BC bluing kit, is this a good choice?

    I wanted to add that if I push the barrel down the gap does close a little, but I'm not sure the barrel will have the consistent pressure to keep the gap closed.

    Need Help (pics)

    I have the lock installed, the trigger and tang screw line up great, the nipple and hammer are dead on with each other, I am really close to bluing the barrel and finishing the stock, but I'm stuck right now. I have pins on the butt stock that are angled down ever so slightly. On one side I have...

    stock joining problem

    this is a good option, but I have a feeling they would not be willing to do this for free. I sent an email of to them this PM, hopefully I get a good response. Is this situation completely unfixable?

    stock joining problem

    Im trying to join my Traditions Kentucky rifle, but the predrilled holes on the butt stock are at an angle, so when I try to attach the fore stock there is a gap at the top. Should I try to redrill at an angle so the pins are further down than angled up (guess i depends how you look at it)

    Quick Question

    Thank you Zonie, I appreciate it! Man, I never thought something like ML would grab me like this, I drive a lot at work and all I can think about is building my rifle.

    Quick Question

    I do not have anything like those, nor do they mention it on the parts list. Im assuming on mine the tenons and tenon pins are what hold the barrel to the stock, because there are dovetails on the underside of the barrel that I have to drill and drive pins through.I double checked the parts list...

    Quick Question

    My Kentucky rifle kit (traditions)instructions say "Test that the wedge transverses from the right side of stock to the cut out on the left side. remove wedge" This is in regards to the trigger assembly. The tang screw fits perfectly into the assembly, the trigger pull is moderate (like it says...

    oil finish questions

    Would this finish actually stain the wood as well? I was planning on using a walnut poly-stain, but this stuff sounds a whole lot easier.

    Nevermind about the hammer question, I finally had my first AHA! moment and found a lot of confidence in my ability to get this rifle done and looking good!

    Hello

    FINALLY, I get it! Thank you for being patient The section where the instructions talk about filing down pins, they happen to have a picture of the joining plate with pins, man that COULD have been a disaster! THANKS!

    Hello

    10-4 thats right, to explain my misunderstanding, I view the two stocks (Barrel and trigger ) I see the two tenon pins keeping the stock together, but I am going to drill holes in the barrel stock tap the pins through the joining plate and into the barrel stock and grind those same pins down...

    One of the holes in my lock is actually right behind the hammer, no matter what position it is in,do I need to redrill a new hole?

    Hello

    Sorry, Im a cable guy lol

    Hello

    I guess I dont get it. Im seeing the pins running down the length of the stock and holding the brass "splicer" and both parts of the stock together, the main issue Im having is terminology, sorry I will look again and see if I get it.

    Hello

    I am a newbie to BlackPowder, I am putting together a Kentucky Rifle Kit made by Traditions. I have a few questions. The Tenon pins need to stay intact right? not filed flush with stock like the pamphlet says? I guess thats it for now, thanks.
