    Over the moon

    Thanks everyone for the compliments and encouragement. Seems each one is an improvement and learning experience. I messed up the first pewter pour but it’s no big deal to remove the bolster. I just saw across it diagonally with a hack saw down to the hard tang, insert a flat screw driver in the...

    Black Powder Internal Ballistics Calculator

    I find this very interesting and can’t stop playing with different load comparisons. I’ve often wondered how much velocity and energy my muzzleloaders produced and it’s interesting to compare calibers. There’s a lot of additional info as well, like % powder burnt, max pressure, muzzle pressure...

    Royal Navy Sea Service Pistol

    The ram rod in my kit came with the tip already assembled/epoxied a came apart as well. I re-epoxied and (properly pinned it) which I recommend. You don’t want that coming off and stuck in the bottom of the barrel! Have a blast with your new pistol!

    Royal Navy Sea Service Pistol

    I just built what looks just like the kit version of this. I purchased it from TOW for $199 for a complete kit incl the lock and belt hook. (crazy low price). It is much larger than I expected (much larger than the Pedersoli Kentucky pistol kit). It’s 19” long just like yours with a 12” .62 cal...

    Scrimshaw on Black?

    I’ve done this on a pet store chew toy black water buffaloe? small horn for a pistol. No filler used. Lines show up pretty well. The beak comes off to pour out the powder.

    Marking a new sear spring?

    Hi, I would probably just make one out of a piece of jig saw or hacksaw blade, especially since you have the pieces to copy. Here’s a tutorial for making a “leaf type” mainspring, some of which will be similar to a smaller sear spring. Couldn’t find anything specific to a sear spring. Or if...

    Pedersoli kit build, then rebuild

    Thank you all for the compliments, means a lot considering the talent pool here. The trigger guard came from track of the wolf. I believe it was this one: they have 7 to choose from for pistols. https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/930/1/TG-MA-19-B...

    Another new tool , Anvil

    Congrats! That’s an awesome find. I’ve been wanting one for several years. I was bidding on a nice one yesterday at a local auction but the price exceeded my wife’s facial expression. Maybe next time.
