    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    Does any one have a copy of HEER DER NEUE STOCKEL? Maybe there is a listing for a CLAUDIO DANQUIN in CADIZ Spain. I agree with Dave Person about the barrel maker.

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    I really like the barrel on your long gun Charles. Thanks for checking to see if it was rifled. Both the stock and lock look much later than the barrel, at least to me. The way that the barrel is attached to the fore-end of the stock with a bolt is unusual for a Spanish weapon, but the the...

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    I wanted to upload a few photos that made the removable battery face more obvious. If you look closely you will see that the face is dovetailed into the battery. Look even closer and you may be able to see that the channels on the face are shallower near the point of contact with the flint.

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    Hi Ricky, I guess you already know, yes this is the original. Dr. Lavin loaned it to the Rifle Shoppe so that they could make a casting. He was happy with the result with the exception of the main spring. Here are a few more photos for comparison. You can't easily see it here but the battery...

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    Here are a few things I noticed about Charles64's “rifle” (is it really rifled?). The butt of the stock is of a style popular in Catalan. The barrel seems to be pinned with a bolt. Early Spanish arms usually use wire pins, later weapons added barrel bands. Eventually barrel bands alone became...

    When I put an LED flash light on one side and turn it on, I can see all the way through the horn.

    Darn, I forgot to measure that. It's about a foot long. I will measure it morning.

    I recently found this Powder-Horn. It even still has back powder in it. Can anyone tell me anything about it from the photos?

    Repairing and using my U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket

    I already have the screw out of the old lock. I will try just using the "new" top jaw and screw from Lodgewood with the old hammer. If that works I can trade the left over "new" hammer parts back to them the next time I buy something or keep it for my parts collection.

    Repairing and using my U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket

    I just got off the phone with Danyelle at Lodgewood. I ordered an original "Good" M1816 hammer that included the top jaw and top jaw screw for $125. That should give me more than enough to work with.

    Thanks, I'll check them out. Can anyone tell me a good way to make the finish match on the replacement parts?

    The barrel is 35 inches long. The front band is not fastened but it has a nice tight fit. You can remove it after taking out the ram rod, but you need to give it a tug.

    Repairing and using my U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket

    Ok, here are some more shots. Other than the top jaw the lock works well. Knowing that the barrel has been shortened do you still think it is worth picking up "original" parts?

    Repairing and using my U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket

    What you can't see in the photos is that the barrel was shortened sometime in the distant past. The first barrel band has been removed. The stock and end band have been moved back. I have $300.00 in it.

    Thanks for the tips. I hear that getting parts from The Rifle Shoppe can take forever. Have you had better luck? I will be looking for a good Black Powder Gunsmith in my area, South East Florida. Here is another try at the photos.

    Repairing and using my U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket

    I have a U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket that I would like to repair and use. The top jaw is missing and the top jaw screw is broken off at the lower jaw. Searching on-line I have found parts from Dixie Gun Works. The problem is, I don't know what I don't know. Is there a good place to find...
