    Sourcing 4F

    Thanks to all commenters...greatly (really) appreciated...I had a local chap contact me and he is offering 1/2 lb of 4F to help me get started for which I am most grateful. The comments on the differing granularities has also been quite informative. I also made an min order from Grafts to help...

    Sourcing 4F

    I'm finding that out...my cynical side would say I can shoot my flintlock great...just pick up my percussion gun and aim! Seriously though I think I may end up biting the bullet and pay for the privaledge...grinding my gears all the way!

    Sourcing 4F

    Ok...I'm finding out this may not be the best time to get a flintlock due to scarcity of 4F BP. The only place I can find it requires a min buy of 5lbs at a total of $125+. Tried grinding up some Pyro 2F and spent an hr at the range without a single fire. Looking at putting my flint on the wall...

    Odd caliber...maybe

    With the .433...only 0.007" seems kinda tight with patching...guess it depends on the ticking thickness.

    Odd caliber...maybe

    What thickness ticking do you use with .429?

    Barrel Conversion

    I found a rifle up for auction having an octagon barrel with what looks like a 1" round piece put on the end... What's the reason for that? Thanks

    Odd caliber...maybe

    Thanks guys for the info...Phil...I gave your technique a go and after doing it with 5 samples it came out to be 0.44...what size ball aught I to be looking for? maybe a .424 or .410? Something I learnded, the hard way o_O, quickly was to be sure and put the make shift slide hammer down the...

    Odd caliber...maybe

    So I finally got my Ultra-High 45 cal flint out to the range today for the first time since I bought it a few weeks back and, to my great surprise and dismay, the 45 Hornady ball would not come close to going down the barrel, even without patching. 😞 So after doing a number of mic and calipers...

    Hello from Commifornia

    I shall give em a call next Monday...I was able to get the Traditions spring in and working (see my pics above)...had to do a small internal carving job but got it in and going...hope to get it to the range tomorrow for a try...I'm somewhat unprepared for flint use as all I have for powder is...

    Hello from Commifornia

    So I decided to give the traditions spring a go anyway...here is what it looks like in the lock... The lock seems to work fine before putting in the stock. I had to do a bit of carving to get it in but it fits ok and seems to function well...here is what I carved... So I attempted to do some...

    Hello from Commifornia

    I also have an Ultra-High flint...the main spring broke on it last weekend :( After looking high/low I ordered up a spring that comes on the Traditions Mountain rifle, as it gives the appearance of being a close match. Its supposed to arrive today and I'll attempt the install right away...will...

    Conversion from modern to traditional

    Well took a couple steps forward (blued the barrel and cleaned up the lock pieces) but took a big step backwards...when putting the lock back together the main spring snapped in two o_O:eek: talk about being up a creek! Found a Traditions spring that appears to match closely so will give that a...
