    Anyone else on here ever buy a pedersoli with bad sanding quality on the stock?

    I have a couple Pedersoli flintlock guns. I'd put there finish in the "good to very good" range. Not perfect but not sloppy by a long shot. That lock inletting is sloppy. I'd absolutely be looking for a replacement.

    Anyone else on here ever buy a pedersoli with bad sanding quality on the stock?

    It's ok to vent to us but other than some advice on how to fix it, our hands are tied. Pedersoli does have a web site. They're not likely to have you ship it back to Italy and I cringe at the thought of sending a damaged gun internationally for repair or replacement. I absolutely would talk to...

    Pedersoli poor quality

    I have the Pedersoli Kentucky and it's pretty clean. Gun shoot nice and straight. The thing I've noticed (and this is across the board) all services have been negatively impacted by the pandemic. People were shook. But the sun is coming up again. I've been seeing an uptick in quality on a lot of...

    Taylor Uberti better than Uberti?

    I've been to the Taylor shop in VA. They do inspect everything they sell but they're also a full service gunsmithing shop and do upgrades to everything they sell. Top shelf work from a modern, fully equipped shop. That's probably where the premium comes from. It is nice to walk into a show room...

    What is up with Moose Molds??

    It's hard to find a good moose mold these days. I've actually just been freehanding my moose these days. Sure, it's a lot more work but it's hard to argue with the results

    Home Made History

    Anybody ever watch this guy on YouTube? He's built a number of muzzle loading guns (smooth bores and rifled as well as multi barrel guns. Mostly flintlocks. All hand crafted. He's building a Jager now. He's doing it all. He makes the locks, casts the side plates, rifles his own steel. He does...

We have an amazing group of craftsmen who can make authentic reproductions of period correct acoutremonts for very reasonable prices. Beyond that, make...

    Woods Walk Course Design

    I had a metal charging bear target once. I was in the process of painting point rings on the target. Then I got this idea to paint a smaller bear inside the bears outline. The object of the target was to hit the bear twice in two minutes (from the first shot). Scoring was as follows, first shot...

    Javelina Hide?

    Big knife sheath, possibles bag (half tanned, half hair on) I guess it depends on the thickness of the hide. Good luck on the hunt. First time I ever saw one of those on was on a highway between Sedona and Jerome on a Harley doing like 65 and I saw one of those guys cutting across the desert at...
