    Need help with a Traditions percussion Hawken kit

    Small milling machine, now we are talking... Do the leather and vise grip on the drum, secure the barrel in a solid vise and use leather or aluminum jaw protectors covered with rubber. Squeeze the death out of the barrel so all your energy is well focused on the drum rotation. Well focused...

    Need help with a Traditions percussion Hawken kit

    If you cut so much off the drum that the hammer no longer fits, buy another drum or 2, or 3 and practice. Once you get 'er done, you will be an expert. :)

    Need help with a Traditions percussion Hawken kit

    Take the barrel out of the wood. Use a nipple wrench and remove the nipple. Put heat on the nipple drum. I would try to heat it to about 400-450 degrees F, use an infrared temperature thing like the Harbor Freight ones to check the temperature. Since you nickle plated it don't use a flame. I...

    I will check the measure that is with the powder horn that came with it out of curiosity. But I will use your recommended load of 30 grains.

    Cannon fuse where to get

    The fuse measured 0.135-0.140" in diameter. It was surprisingly round. Other fuses I have used have bumps and raised edges or spirals. It lit well and burns underwater. I couldn't remember what size I ran out of and now I am sure it was the 3/32 (0.0938"). I would substitute the 3/32" or the...

    First knife build

    There has been no updates to this as Hurricane Ian has flooded the hunting area my daughter uses near her home. I am anxious to hear how the knife performs it's intended duty.
