    Allen Box Lock or English Rigby Build

    They still have both listed on their website, so, at this point, I am assuming they are both available. Before you changed your mind, did you note any special challenges regarding the Allen project you had? Thanks for your input.

    Next Move to Improve Build Skills

    Oldwood, I do have Dixon's excellent book. I also have the Gunsmith of Grenville County. I have read both cover-to-cover and understand all the concepts. Just a little hesitant to jump into a complete build. I most certainly agree with keeping it simple and power free. Electing to only use...

    What did I do wrong with GPR

    In central Florida, so very humid here, so maybe that had something to do with it. I also did have the wiping patches pretty wet. Mine is a percussion rifle

    Just finished a Lyman GPR, my first black powder arm, and took it to the range. Very tight group at 25yds with 60gr Swiss 2f, but on 8th round, rifle would not fire. I found patent breech to be totally clogged with fouling. What did I do wrong?? Was using 495 ball with dried moose juice .015...
