    CVA Kentucky Rifle Barrel Pin Diameter

    1/16 pins are not undersize, that's pretty much the size you will find on most original and contemporary rifles.

    James Bowie

    Hey Andy, I actually tried to forge a small meteorite into a blade years ago. It did not go well, It just fell apart, not much carbon content and mostly slag. Would have been cool if I could have pulled it off.

    American Pioneer Powder

    I have actually used it so I can give you an honest assessment. It performed pretty close to real black. Burns cleaner than real black. Will not work in a flintlock.

    slotting barrel tenons

    I tried a jewelers saw and needle files, not much luck with ether. what I found that does works is a drill or dremel with a 1/16 drill bit. Gently run it and back and forth with light pressure on the left and right side of the hole. Does not take much, about .008 to .010 on each side.
