    Rough barn gun

    If I’m going to be honest I don’t think it has a thimble it’s just wood, I mean it didn’t come with one so I guess it don’t have one hahaha So here is the story of this gun, well the one I’m making up (let’s use our imagination!) “The old farmer got his Fowler off the gun smith as a “blemished...

    Rough barn gun

    So I shaped near the ram rod hole a little while watching the kids, I just threw a towel on the floor and put a movie on then went to work hahaha but I think it should straighten up a bit. I have more I want to take off to get it even but it’s looking more like it wasn’t shaped right then...

    Rough barn gun

    I agree definitely a big piece of meat to chew! Well for me anyway hahaha that’s why I said maybe I should make it rough and simple bc that’s what it already is, definitely isn’t going to be a safe Queen it’s going to be a hunting machine but I do want it to look like a gun and not something a...

    Rough barn gun

    You guys are great I’m appreciating all the help. Feeing a lot better after sleeping on the matter and reading your responses. I knew it needed finished but there were just things I didn’t expect. You’ll see in the pictures the bottom of the barrel is very rusty which I can sand out, was rust...

    Rough barn gun

    The more I look at this gun it isn’t done all that well hahaha but again that’s okay I think it will just change the way I finish it! Maybe I’ll leave it a little rough again being a barn gun and all. If you builders have any ideas let me know I’ll post some more pictures here soon

    Rough barn gun

    Frizzen: replace or repair

    L and R replacement lock from track of the wolf and problem solved 😁! I know that’s frustrating but at the same time rewarding trying to figure it out. I have a LOTT lock for a trade gun (did end up replacing it but still fixed the LOTT) it would eat flints, it wouldn’t spark, etc.. need to have...

    PA ultralite flintlock

    Not sure exactly.. but I will say I handled that gun the other day bc I had never seen one and was a little impressed with the lock they put on it. It was definitely an up grade from other tradition sidelocks Iv seen before. Not knowing what a deluxe frizzin looks like for them I would say this...

    CVA squirrel build

    So I did find an actual CVA conversion bolt to turn my gun into a flint. I still have to drill a hole in through the threads and get it to line up just like the hole on the drum. The other nice part is it’s already tapped for a liner I’m assuming it would take the cva style liners. I just need...

    CVA squirrel build

    That would be awesome to have it bored to a chambered breech just to keep things simple.. I just don’t want to send it away if I could remove the breech it wouldn’t be that hard to do

    CVA squirrel build

    Okay thanks!!

    CVA squirrel build

    So I actually have the New CVA style breech. It is the same one as in the colored picture so the drum goes through the breech. I have a replacement screw for it and I could leave the drum in, grind it off and thread it for a liner. Would that work??
