    Dunlap Woodcraft Rifle Kits

    Tanstaafl, I am still pondering whether to go iron or brass on the trimmings. I like the looks of both, but I like the thought of the less visible iron in the field. I had a question for you about the build - I have heard the mainsprings are very wide on the large siler locks and may need...

    Dunlap Woodcraft Rifle Kits

    Thanks for the info gentlemen. Welcho, that site is where I first found out about the Dunlap kits, but I have seen little else on the Dunlap stuff - that is why I am fishin' here.... Sounds like anyone familiar with them have been satisfied with the overall quality! After reading the input...

    Dunlap Woodcraft Rifle Kits

    Old Salt, Would you reccomend the "B" profile for a .40 cal over the "C"? I will be shooting at squirrels mostly, up to coyote and such.

    Forestock on a swamped barreled rifle

    I, for one, am glad you did ask the question. I was in the same boat concerning the books not mentioning it, and I definately learned something here today! :thumbsup:

    right hand, left hand

    Excellent topic. I am a lefty and have had the very same concerns as you... glad to see the responses, If I come across a sweet deal on a righty flinter I won't be afraid to buy it. If I have a choice, like when I build my flinter, I will go lefty though.. All my smokeless rifles are right...

    Conner Longrifles Gun Show

    Hello Manyklatch, I am interested in attending this show, but I am driving from Missouri.... Just wanted to check and see how the vendor attendance was looking before I make the drive. Does it look promising so far? Thanks, Curtis (Squirrelheart)

    On deer calibers

    Hey, Headhunter, I enjoy shooting the tree rats with my .50 also.... ain't it a hoot! I waste a lot less meet than even when I use a .17 hmr. Makes a nice round hole in their little heads! If you can hit a squirrel in the head regularly, you can hit the killzone of a deer just as well....

    New builder seeking input

    A lot of good points to think about, fellers, exactly why I asked for opinions instead of just ploppin' down the cash. The bit about the stock being Lancaster school came directly from the seller, but after reading some of the responses and looking at examples I can see it is much more like a...

    New builder seeking input

    Some very good points made here, as beginner I hadn't carefully thought about the ramrod hole size as related to caliber. I am currently reading "Recreating the American Long Rifle" and have been scarfing up any online tutorials I can find, including the one by Mike Brooks on this site and...

    New builder seeking input

    Hey everybody, I am in the process of shopping for parts to build a flinter in either .36 or .40 caliber, in "lefty" configuration. I have come across some parts and a partially completed stock for $300 smackers. They include:Premium curly maple stock profiled to Lancaster school, butt plate...
