    Smashing flints

    Try turning your flint over, bevel up or down, opposite of how it is now.

    I’m scratch building an under-hammer rifle.

    I assume you are building an H & A underhammer. The position of where the hammer lines up with the nipple is going to determine where the nipple hole will be drilled. This is the way I did it. I took a 1/4 inch rod, ground a tapered point on one end and cut it off to an over all length of 1/2...

    Converting a Kibler SMR kit to percussion

    I stand corrected, I built one, thought it was a Golden Age

    Converting a Kibler SMR kit to percussion

    If it's an earlier Kibler, it's got a Chambers Golden Age lock. The Golden Age is also available in percussion. The two lock plates are the same and will fit the lock mortice. The touch hole liner is 1/4 inch, so easy to drill out to receive a 5/16 drum. Very doable by a competent machinist...

    Crockett rifle cleanout screw

    This subject never ceases to be amusing every time it comes up which is often. Regardless of why the hole was drilled or what name it goes by, IT is a clean out screw if you use it as such. I found it to be very useful in cleaning out the drum and removed it every time I did. I also replaced the...

    My Bowie from Runewolf1973

    More like out of touch. There are those who desire and appreciate superior quality and workmanship and willingly pay for it. For a handmade well executed Bowie this knife was under priced. You could always buy a Pakistani knife if your only requirement is cheap.
