    Rehardening my frizzen

    Flint won't spark

    Guys, New at flint locks. Got a flint from TOW: (French amber gun flint, 7/8 x 1" for Fowler, Jaeger, Tulle, Twigg, Hatfield, Chambers locks) I put it in and It won't spark. Just scratches the frizzed. What did I do wrong? Phil

    Black Powder Tester Eprouvette

    Black Powder Tester Eprouvette

    I got this from a friend. It says it's a black powder tester but the instructions did not come with it. Anyone know how it works? It's gummed up and the trigger and hammer do not work. Have to open it up and take a look. Any value to it?

    New to me Harpers Ferry flintlock

    Thanks for the info. It is a 42 inch barrel so I'll assume a M1795 type IV. Just ordered "US Military Flintlock Muskets and their Bayonets",Volume 1.

    GunBroker Flintlock

    Well, you skeptics were all wrong. It was way too expensive on Gun Broker at almost $5,000. I watched it for several weeks with no action. Then I just happened on the same musket at J&J Military Antiques for about $3,500. I bought it and it just arrived yesterday. It's a beauty and I can't wait...

    New to me Harpers Ferry flintlock

    I am fortunate enough to have just received delivery of what was touted as an M1795 type II Harpers Ferry flint lock musket made in 1817. Type II because of the location of the bayonet lug on the top of the muzzle. It's in excellent condition as the pictures show. As the specs of the early...

    How Do I Get Rid of Old Percussion Caps?

    Why not just throw them in the spent brass bucket at the range. Let the RO deal with hem.

    Sprue cut: Facing which way?

    Guys, Why not cast the balls with dimples like a golf ball then it wouldn't matter where the sprue was and it would travel much farther because of non-laminar airflow. :thumb:

    Want to get into Muzzleloading and have a lot of questions so I figured I would post in this forum.

    Just curious: I understand that in Australia guns have been outlawed. I assume that black powder is ok?

    Dangerous Situation

    Does yours have the Ted Cash (TDC) makers mark stamped on it? I believe TOW's are made by Ted Cash and have his makers mark on it. Mine does. No, mine does not have the Ted Cash stamp.
