    New cap and ball revolvers

    :bow: I rewired it to plug into a modern jack and ring on our line. No ringer volume control = ****** off wife and scared cats. Had to turn the bells so they wouldn't ring. Sean

    new guys first build.

    Thanks for all the advise. I will be getting a different lock to use for this gun. Ordered a barrel today. 1710 Dutch by Colerain. I may look into the Dutch lock and side plate from TRS but I will be saving up some more cash before I move on with this. In the mean time I am enjoying everthing I...

    new guys first build.

    A common gun that would be good enough to pass muster for militia use. I want to stick with the iron furniture. I know most guns of this type should have brass. Early Kings pattern, Dutch/Leige and 1740 Potzdam guns had iron, brass or a mix. Unless I got that wrong. Would the Christians Springs...

    That book is going to be a must have on my book list. I have decided to go with everyone's advise and get a larger lock. I will have to build a rifle for that Siler to go on. I think dad may have had that one and a few others for 20 or so years. Sean

    The lock is one of Bud Silers. Not a Chambers. I have been thinking the same about a larger lock. Sean

    new guys first build.

    Well here is the start of my attempt at building a musket. All of the parts I've collected so far. The lock is a large Siler. Small for a musket but a gift from my dad for my first build. Stock is A maple from TOW. Fowler that I've started shaping the comb into a Dutch influnced shape...

    Vent picks help

    Old bicycle spokes. The rims I stripped out came from a 1935 boys bike. The spokes had to be replaced so I put the old ones to use as vent picks and chains. Sean

    Thanks! I will add that one to my list. "Of Sorts for Provincials" is at the top of my book list right now.

    Thanks for the kind words. That box is Alaska Yellow Cedar. Not HC or a good choice on my part. It is brittle and cracked when nailed. Even with pilot holes. Next try will be with maple.

    Some stuff made by a "new" guy.

    I've started getting the parts together to build a "parts" Musket. The type an any guy would have used for militia muster in the 1750-1770 time frame. I've got a great mentor in my dad who has been building since he was a teenage. Here is a link to one of his guns. Link Sean
