    Greenhorn needs info

    If your gun has 1-48" twist it should shoot round balls very well assuming that the bores are good and that the gun is sound. Please have it checked by a competant gunsmith, have you determined that it is unloaded? The next time that I get into the safe I shall take some pictures and try to...

    Greenhorn needs info

    This rifle was the first, quality rifle I ever bought. I shot it for a few years with a 375 round ball and thirty grains of 3f. Had to keep the charge down because of the fast twist.I retired it early because it was too nice to shoot all the time in competition.

    Greenhorn needs info

    Everything that I have found dates B.C. Wood from the late 1850's to 1874 He apparently started in painted post and later moved to syracuse.

Walnut stock and iron trim VERY well made guns. the twist in my gun is i-24" so it probably shot a little sugar loaf bullet. Had it 57...

    Fix my flintlock?

    Your lock is a fine english lock and the piece you are refering to is a separate piece of steel that enables the cock and the frizzen to work. They made those locks until 1836 and most were never mounted on a gun. One turns up now and then. I don't know who would have a part, but you might try...

    Wood Movement And Tenons

    I have an original fullstock where the foreend is broken in three pieces. The breaks are between the pins. From what I can see the tenons were never slotted. The history on this rifle was that it was stored in an attic for years and years and when it was found it was broken. the rifle appears to...

    Can anyone identify this rifle?

    This rifle looks very much like a western New York Target rifle circa 1865 or so The muzzle is designed to load a Bullet without cocking it in the bore. The twist probably is in the range of one turn in twenty four inches. The bullets side view looked like a choclate drop. Accurate but hard to...

    T/C Patriot

    Remove the lock and check the internal bridle screws. These work loose and prevent the hammer from falling.
