    U.S. Model 1842 Harper's Ferry Rifled Musket

    If it is a defarbed repro the seller went through quite some expense to create it. To my knowledge all repros have Springfield marked lock plates. You can get H-F lock plates but they are costly... By the look of it a very nice gun. It could also be a put togther piece from the last century. In...

    making gpr my own

    ...to add to this... rework te cheek piece! It's way to big and not nicely shaped since it's simply machine sanded. I am re-doing an Uberti Santa Fe hawken right now that also suffered from way to much wood around the metal. If you want to do more...either make it more Hawken by swapping the...

    finished one, another one close

    A very nice gun...I just turened the pics around to get a clear view...for a right handed person;-) One question though...since the stock was obviously not cut for a lock yet, why did you go through the pain of altering a Silder if you could have used an English lock from the start. Was it just...

    Best Production Flintlock

    Hi I think Dixie might still have their famous .50 Southern Mountain in left handed kit version, at least it is still on their page! If I was left handed... Other then that the Lyman GPR is also available in left kit version, both guns could be called "in the white" cheers Uwe

    Pedersoli Brown Bess

    Hi When you think about bying one, try finding a used one from the 80ties or so...they show better workmanship than those made today. All in all a nice gun, 2nd model short land pattern...so ok for Napolionics but questionable for Rev War. cheers Uwe

    Best Production Flintlock

    Hi The Pedersoli/Cabalas rifles mentioned above are the grand children of the "Hatfield" rifles from the early 70ties. Pedersoli's finish is always super shiny...to make the customer overlook the flaws in their quick industrial production methods. Have a search on youtube to see how they...

    TOW shipping policies...

    Hello all Just wanted to share with you some for me ridiculous shipping policies of the vendor Track of the Wolf. A while ago I had ordered their catalog, 10$ worth of merchandise and 15$ for sipping it over seas to Germany. As most know this catalog is big so 15$ for a package seemed OK. The...

    Pedersoli Owners

    Apart from not having to break it down everytime for cleaning this also depends on what Pedersoli gun you have. Pedersoli has rifles with pins and wedges in their cataloge. On a proper Hawken, taking out the barrel is a piece of cake, on a long rifle with pins and a fixed tang...well not so...

    Uberti Hawken, upgrades and modifications?

    Hello all @Herb...thanks a lot for your reply and your PMs...I am very grateful for your expert advise being the greenhorn I am. This afternoon I cut the stock down by one inch to now 14 inches of pull. Now it's very comfortable. This was the first time I did such an operation and it was so...

    Stock polish

    :grin: YES...that's right! Poly...what ever should not get in touch with gun stocks! Speaking of treating stocks...what's the best, period correct, way to stain and treat a walnut stock? Boiled linsede oil for sure but what color and where to get it from or make it myself? Will acid (aqua...

    Pedersoli

    Hi I have handeled the "new" Pedersoli Hawkens...and in comparison the "old" Uberti ones that trace back all the way to the Cherry Corners Gun Shop version of the 60ties?...Do your wallet a favour and stay away from the totally overpriced Pedersoli one. Rather check out internet auction sites...

    Uberti Hawken, upgrades and modifications?

    Hello all This weekend we had some very nice weather for a change...so yesterday I went to a large flee market here in Munich. I came back home in the afternoon with a bag full of files and other useful tools, spent 24EUR all in all on them... So last night while my wife was watching her...

    Track of the wolfe archive?

    I got my one year subsciption yesterday. It's breath taking to say the least. Not only are the photos beautiful but also the general description of the items and for example the mostly given trigger pull distance in combination with left hand pictures of the stock (in the Hawken case)is great...

    Shaping the lock area

    Hello I am about to start working on my "pimp my Hawken" project. I have to re-do the wood around the lock to lock more like a finished gun rather then a pre-carved stock. I have done that once years ago on another Uberti Hawken, it worked quite well, by using a half round file and sand paper...

    Authenticity

    Hi "The Horse Soldier" in Gettysburg http://www.horsesoldier.com/ is a IMHO trust worthy dealer...but rather expensive. Last time I've been there it was like being in paradise, so many good condition original muskets...My original 1861 also came from a Gettysburg dealer, a friend bought it in...

    Any 1810-1829 low priced reproduction guns?

    Hi there... A low price gun in the 1810-20 years would have been a NW Tradegun...but since you mention reproduction, even trade guns are now quite expensive :-( Maybe try searching for a used old Dixi mountain rifle, those were quite period correct and not too expensive. cheers Uwe
