Chamfer revolver chambers?
Cool! They are your guns, do as you wish with them, as I will do with mine. -

New Pedersoli Kentucky
I shot the Pedersoli yesterday, put 30 balls through it. I definitely have a learning curve ahead of me concerning flintlocks. I had several failures to ignite the priming powder (3f). The flint I was using is probably a little too big, I have some on order from TOTW but for now I am making do... -

Chamfer revolver chambers?
On my ROA the gunsmith just barely broke the edge, you have to look close to see it. I agree that you wouldn't want to overdo it. Some have mentioned that their replica revolvers will shave a ring of lead, then the ball will be loose in the chamber. Perhaps this might help that situation? -

I had it done on my Ruger Old Army. It works. -

New Pedersoli Kentucky
They are both .50 cal. The percussion that is sharing the not quite period correct case (Gotta haul 'em in something) is a Traditions. It actually looks better in the pictures than it does in real life. No complaints about it though, it shoots very well and has a decent trigger. The wood on it... -

New Pedersoli Kentucky
My new flintlock pistol came today from DGW. I haven't shot it yet, perhaps tomorrow if the weather cooperates. I cant quite get the hang of posting pictures but here are some links (hopefully) to a picture or two. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35460591@N04/4295980295/in/set-72157623264585816/... -

Pedersoli pistol
That is really a bummer. I was just saying that the guy with the broken fore end cap on the Traditions pistol attributed it to shooting heavy loads. There isn't much wood there to start with. -

Pedersoli pistol
I talked to a guy with a Traditions Kentucky who said he broke his in the same place using heavy loads. That looks like a job for Acra-glas gel, rout out a couple channels well back into the fore end wood and countersink them a little to help anchor the epoxy, coat the metal well with release... -

Pedersoli pistol
I have the same pistol ordered. I am not sure what you mean by "not easy to clean". How easy is it to remove the barrel? It is hard to tell from the pictures whether it is held to the fore end with pins or a screw in the fore end cap. What is your over all impression of the quality of the Pedersoli? -

Pedersoli or Traditions flintlock?
I am impressed with my Traditions caplock pistol. I have put about 250 shots through it now and have kind of got the loading procedure worked out. On my best day with it I put 4 5-shot groups in a row under 2" at 25 yards. Last time I was out with it I fired several groups and couldn't get one... -

Pedersoli or Traditions flintlock?
Update. I just found the Pedersoli Kentucky Flintlock in .50 caliber on Dixie Gun Works web site for $295.00. So I bought it. This is actually cheaper than they are selling the caplock version, they have the percussion tagged at $325 for the .50. They describe it as having a steel nosecap... -

Pedersoli or Traditions flintlock?
I want to buy a flintlock pistol in .50 caliber. I have narrowed it down to either the Pedersoli Kentucky, the Traditions Kentucky (assuming someone still has the Traditions flinter in stock), or the Traditions Trapper flintlock. The Possible Shop and a few others still list the Traditions... -

Traditions Kentucky Flint???
I am also interested in this pistol. I just got the percussion version and like it. I would like to have them both. Ghettogun, in another thread, advises against the Traditions Kentucky flintlock. Anyone else have any experience with it? Or any other recommendations for a shootable flintlock... -

New Traditions Kentucky
I tried a few shots with Pyrodex P yesterday but didn't have enough of it on hand to really work with it. I used to shoot it almost exclusively in my Ruger Old Army and it shot well. The can of Triple 7 I bought is shooting well, if that was all I could get I would be happy with it. It seems to... -

New Traditions Kentucky
Ghettogun, I had the lock out and know the adjustment you are talking about. I haven't tried adjusting it yet. I will give it a try. I took the pistol out today and put about 25 shots through it. The trigger has smoothed up a lot, I think by working with the tumbler/sear adjustment I can get... -

Thanks, luie b. I will try them next time I buy caps. -

New Traditions Kentucky
Rebel, I get over on that side of the mountain ever so often. Much nicer weather this time of the year. Do you know of any places around Medford on up to Roseburg that sells black powder? -

New Traditions Kentucky
New here, first post. Santa brought me a nice .50 cal. Traditions Kentucky pistol this year. It was on closeout at a local farm supply place for $180.00. I tactfully suggested to the missus about a week before Christmas that it would sure make a nice present. Lo and behold, it showed up for the...
