    Best way to clean sideplate brass?

    Hello all. Just purchased a new flint pedersoli Kentucky pistol .50 from Dixie. It's going to be given to a family member as a Gift. I took it out (couldn't help it) To inspect and noticed a little tarnish/grime/residue on the sidepate. A tiny bit would come off with fingernail pressure but...

    Reassurance needed, Question regarding Lock Finish

    Geo T, The owner of north star west himself contacted me and is going to handle it. I'll post when everything's done but it looks like amazing service thus far. Everyone makes little errors but it's how a company deals with those and their customers that truly sets them above the rest. So...

    Reassurance needed, Question regarding Lock Finish

    LaBonte, Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I have emailed Mr Dennison the photos. I ordered it from Dixie as a finished piece less than a week ago, the price seems to reflect similar finished prices direct from NSW. Maybe it was a mixup ?

    Reassurance needed, Question regarding Lock Finish

    Thanks for all the Info 1601. Appreciate it. It is my understanding that NSW took an example that is in the Smithsonian American History Museum. That to me is very cool and interesting. I am not currently a re-enactor or anything like that. I purchased a Flintlock because i am a Gun Nut...
