    Refinished my New Englander

    BrownBear, I just mixed up some baking-soda and water until it was like a paste, slapped in on the brass and let it set over night. That is what it looked like in the morning after washing them off. The good thing is that if you don't like it, 30 seconds with a piece of steel wool and it looks...

    Refinished my New Englander

    It's too cold to do much else this weekend so I finished up the Crockett last night. I didn't do the lock since I wanted to see what it would look like, well...after seeing it together I have decided that I am going to strip it down and brown it also. I still need to pick up some brass screws to...

    Refinished my New Englander

    Thanks guys. I haven't done anything at all to the stock. I'm considering refinishing it and maybe trying to go a little darker, I won't be doing anything for a month or so until we are done chasing rabbits and squirrel's though.

    Refinished my New Englander

    I am in the process of stripping, and browning, the little Crockett .32 after BrownBear posted the pics of the one he redid. I had read about mixed results with Birchwood Casey Plum Brown and that is what I had on hand...Well, the barrel off of my New Englander 12ga would fit in the oven so...

    Retro Crockett

    That looks very nice!!! As soon as I stop chasing squirrels I am going to do the same. Good job, it sure looks better than as issued.

    32 cal

    I'm in the same boat...the little .32 Crockett just opened up the doors for me. I figure I get more shots in one afternoon of squirrel hunting than I do in a season of deer hunting. I am planning my first custom flinter build right now and it will be a .32 for the simple fact of how much time...

    Va rifle

    Wonky, Thanks for that info, and email!!!! Sitting down and trying to source information is alot of fun in and of itself. I plan on putting one together myself once I end up sourcing all my parts. 2 weeks ago I would never have even thought of putting my own together, but after reading and...

    Va rifle

    This might be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway's.....I have been doing alot of reading this past couple weeks on various rifles and styles. No matter how many styles I look at I seem to keep liking the looks of the Va style rifles. Such as the one shown here on Jim Chambers site...

    Nice day to be out.....

    I had seen the patterns for the blanket coat's while browsing the forums. Well, the other day I was cleaning out my gun room and came across one of my surplus wool blanket and I forgot all about the cleaning :rotf: Put that one together in ~6hours....not bad with everything being sewn by hand...

    Nice day to be out.....

    ......chasing squirrel's!!! It was about 35*, calm, and sunny and the squirrel's were out as well. My brother and I seen 7, and got 5 of them. I shot 3 with the Crockett .32 while he shot a pair with the TC 12ga. Ironically, I missed one with the 12ga :hmm: and he missed one with the .32...

    Tree Rats

    I like hunting them. I'm setting here waiting on my brother to arrive and then we will be out after them again. I'm driving a traditions "crocket" and he'll be driving a New Englander caplock 12ga... We really seem to have alot more squirrels in our area the last few years. We were talking...

    Hello all, I cased the .22 and pulled out the .32 this season for tree-rats. I really would like to pick up, or build, a quality .32 flinter between now and next season. A member from this site, "Billy Lo", pointed me in this direction when I posed some questioins on a different website. I have...
