    Pedersoli Trade Gun build

    Thank you, much appreciated. The stain is Dixie Gun Works "Finish for Antique Guns". I've used this product for decades on scores of firearms I've finished and refinished. Highly recommended. The finish is Tru-Oil. Ten coats. Lightly buffed between coats with bronze wool (steel wool NEVER...

    Pedersoli Trade Gun build

    While fully capable of making a trigger guard (among many other parts), I just didn't feel like it for this build.

    Pedersoli Trade Gun build

    I’ve recently finished up a Pedersoli Trade Gun kit, though still waiting on a back ordered ToW trade gun “two-finger” trigger. Ordered the kit from Dixie, it took a week from the Monday I posted the money order til the following Monday when The Happy Brown ToyBox gentleman handed it to me...

    Yes, here’s a close up of the stamp. Is it British?

    Did some horse tradin’ at the next-town-over gun show and got this. Left hand Chief’s Grade Trade Gun, .62 caliber, 41” barrel. Kinda thinking it may be a North Star West as the lock is nearly identical to one on ToW’s website (Sale Pending), albeit mine is LH and dirtier plus a British(?)...

    Fitted the butt plate I scratch made to the NW Trade Gun I’m putting together. Trying to stay with the original inexpensive trade gun concept and just eye balled the holes before drilling and nailing it on. Very pleased with the results. Inspired by a NWTG plate dug from an archeological site in...

    Does anybody remember these or have one.

    Ten grains would be fine. Not much grip to hang on to!

    Does anybody remember these or have one.

    I bought mine from a friend’s pawn shop in ‘81 or so for $30. Came in a tiny presentation case about the size of a paperback. Neat little turned wooden container with balls and patches. Marked RICHLAND ARMS CO., code dates it to 1979.

    screwdriver set

    I've used a Wheeler 89 piece set for many years. Save up the money and buy the Brownells. Perhaps because my Wheeler set is older, the driver tips did not come magnetized. I glued tiny magnets inside the shaft to remedy the situation. Broke several tips (without much effort) as they seemed...

    The Happy Brown Toy Box on wheels delivered my new Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket kit, courtesy of Dixie Gun Works! Just ordered some goodies from Track of the Wolf to “customize“ her a bit, too!

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    FINALLY run across the lead grease traps I’d stashed away in the bowels of my garage thirty five years ago. I was gifted three of these(brand new, never installed) back in ’74. Taught myself how to run lead in my sophomore science class, the teacher gave me a grade for it because he thought it...

    Finally shot my flintlock six bore, 160 grains of FFG. Recoil is like a maiden’s caress.

    Aging a Pietta 1860

    I, for one, like the look of your 1860. And that holster is the cat’s meow, very nice!

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Early Stoeger six bore “elephant” gun, Belgian proof marks show late ‘40’s-mid ‘50’s manufacture. Ignore the crappy stock finish, some boneheaded nitwit felt compelled to dump what appeared to be a can of varnish/shellac/polywhatever over the entire gun(including action/barrel). I disassembled...

    Cast some BABs (big arse balls), .875 for my six bore. That’s a .490 ball for comparison. Relaxed afterwards with a barley pop.

    Do i need a custom flintlock rifle??

    My maxim has always been "Buy once, cry once". Be it a firearm, vehicle or shoes. The quality lives on long after the price is forgotten.
