    Help identifying this lock assembly

    That's what I was afraid of. I took it to a gunsmith who scratched her head and got this from Muzzleloader Builder's Supply That appears to be from an original (antique)gun. I do not have anything like it in stock but Log Cabin shop makes one similar called the Henry Percussion...

    Help identifying this lock assembly

    I really need help identifying this hammer assembly. I believe it is worn and someone did a half-ass job of trying to fix it. There are only 2 areas on it that are stamped. 1st, the trigger assembly is only a set trigger. It won't work without it set. Not broken, just the way it is. Someone had...

    Scope Mount For A Octagon Barrel

    1st, the trigger assembly is only a set trigger. It won't work without it set. Not broken, just the way it is. Someone had issues with this lock assembly before. It appears that the hammer release lever has been 'worked' on and is bent. The lower portion of this arm extends past the plate when...

    Scope Mount For A Octagon Barrel

    The scope position is adjustable. I had just stuck it on the barrel for the photo. I will end up mounting it just forward of the hammer throw and checked the eye relief at that position (all the way back as far as possible) and the relief is fine. Initial pictures showed 3/8" x 1/8" round...

    Scope Mount For A Octagon Barrel

    Trouble is I don;t know what kind of gun it is. Forum said it was from the 60's and I already have too much into it. I hate to have the barrel drilled after I just had it nickel plated.

    Scope mount for octagon barrel

    Can't find the traditional sights I need to fit these oversize dovetails and I'm wondered if I could mount an extra scope I had laying around with magnets. I had this extra scope 3-9x laying around and decided to try it. The mount is 3d printed. I have inserted different magnets 1x1/2x1/8" with...

    Scope Mount For A Octagon Barrel

    Because the builder of this gun screwed up the dovetails for the sight mounts and I can't find any so I decided to mount a 3-9x power scope on it I had laying around. After talking to my brother found out T/C had made a magnetic mount for a scope and decided to try it3d printing one. I have very...

    .36 caliber something or other

    Probably get a bunch of negative feedback but doing as best I can. I sent the parts out for nickel plating and it looks better than it was. All the rust pits were impossible to get out but I did the best I could. Can't find the traditional sights I need to fit these oversize dovetails and I'm...

    .36 caliber something or other

    This rear sight measures .72 to the long points of the dovetail. Should I be looking for replacement sights at .72?

    I'm appreciating the help.

    .36 caliber something or other

    Do you have any idea why the barrel or other parts would not have some kind of builder's mark on it? So I guess I'll finish it up and enjoy shooting it anyway.

    .36 caliber something or other

    There are (3) brass filled (brazed in) dovetails on the bottom of the barrel and can't figure out that they were for or why they were filled.

    .36 caliber something or other

    New to the forum. I recently acquired an old percussion rifle. Barrel is 30" long and after filing it for 6 hours I got a lot of the pits out but not all of them. I was told it was a 32 but when I put dial calipers in the barrel it read .36. Ishould have taken beginning photos but I didn't...
