    Barrel lugs

    No, I haven't reached that point yet lol. Rather, I'm trying to figure out the best thing to do for what I have to work with. I think that the lug flats that would sit in the dovetail are too thin to hold good anyway, and, the lug extensions aren't long enough. They will be just about the right...

    Barrel lugs

    The barrel lugs included in this parts set I have are mighty skinny.... so skinny I think I'll just solder 'em on the barrel instead of dovetailing them in. What do you all think?

    Screws and Bolts

    Wait, hold on... I'm gonna bend over here, and one of ya'll just kick me square in the seat of the pants.... The two larger screws must be for the buttplate hadn't they? I've about figured out what I'm going to do. I'll cut the rear pin extension off the triggerguard and screw it on there, pin...

    What did you use the two larger screws for?

    Screws and Bolts

    I've run into another little thing that's on the verge of giving me fits. I'm not real sure what the various screws in this little bag are intended for. I have five smaller screws and two larger ones, 8 pins, two lock bolts and one tang bolt. I know that the barrel takes three pins, the trigger...

    Breech Plug trouble

    Well, I took it down three threads I think, and it came out right so it's been a good day lol. I also managed to get the tang and then the lock inlet completely by about 10:30 tonight, so I'm gonna hit the sack and start on the trigger tomorrow.:hatsoff:

    Ok, I'll go have another look at 'er and see what I can do. Thanks

    Breech Plug trouble

    That's what I was thinking I might have to do, I just wasn't sure... it seems like that might fix the problem with the barrel maker stamp winding up on the top flat too. I might go ahead and try that... it's the only option really I guess. It seems like they would make the breech plug to screw...

    Breech Plug trouble

    I've run into a problem. My breech plug will not screw all the way into the barrel. It will go up to about 1/8" from being right. What should I do?

    .Flintlock Build

    Thanks for the advice! You know, after thinking about it a little, I'm pretty dang sure I've seen several rifles with silver patchboxes and all the other furniture in brass. However, now that I know there is at least one person for sure that's doing it, I won't have any trouble deciding whether...

    .Flintlock Build

    I need help! I ordered a Bucks County Rifle parts set from TOW, but the patchbox was on backorder so I left it off. I figured I would find something to go in its place 'cause I need it soon, rather than waiting on TOW to stock it and send it (could take a while, evidently). But anyway, if I...

    Squirrel Rifle

    Well, it looks like I'll have to "settle" for a .40 caliber barrel, 'cause they actually have that in stock :surrender: . They have the highest grade maple they carry in stock so that's good at least. The most important thing to me in a gun, beside accuracy, is the quality of the wood. I hope no...

    English 12 Gauge

    Hello, I was just wondering if anyone ever heard of or seen a Hollis and Sheath double percussion? Anybody know anything about them?

    Rifle Kit

    Well, at first my trouble was deciding the caliber I want lol. Now I'm worried about who to get it from. I have to have the parts by the first of November, preferably sooner. Should I be concerned that I might not get parts from TOW for 6 months? I know someone told me this, but just wondering...

    Well, does the Bear Creek longrifle school tell you anything? Specifically, Kennedy? :wink: Anyway, Moore County- :grin:

    Squirrel Rifle

    Actually I am referring to a High school senior project but that doesn't reduce the value of your suggestions. I thank all of you who have taken the time to reply to my post- and also I have something else I've been thinking about that maybe ya'll might have some ideas about- I don't know if...

    Squirrel Rifle

    Yes, that's another factor I've thought about as well, but I imagine that a .32 PRB is just as stable in a breeze as a .22 LR hollowpoint, would you agree? I mean, I normally hunt squirrels with an open sighted CZ .22 LR, and from what I've read, I should be able to take the flinter and with...

    Squirrel Rifle

    Okay, another question- is it true that progressively smaller calibers are more sensitive to precise loading as far as accuracy? In other words, do the smallest calibers require more attention to the details than the larger ones? I read this somewhere and it has been on my mind ever since-...

    Squirrel Rifle

    Hello, I'm new to this forum and I joined it cause I have questions that demand answers which I can't resolve myself- I have a decision to make and I need some input from someone else so I can decide. I'm building a small bore flintlock longrifle for my senior project, and after that is over, I...
