    What did you do to re-crown the muzzle? I like the looks of it.

    SOLD Weeping Heart Ball Bag.

    Just want to add that I previously purchased a cowsknee from Cutfingers and it was all he said it was, and more. He produces some nice stuff.

    Thank you everyone for your advice. I sincerely appreciate it.

    Whiskering????

    I have refinished 25-30 stocks, mostly those new fangled cartridge thingies, and built 5 muzzleloaders from kits. I always use 320 grit sandpaper for removing the whiskers until the final wetting and then I go to 400 grit for the final smoothing of the stock. The current kit I am working on...

    Flintlock Frizzen Spring Removal

    Do all owners of flintlocks have a mainspring vise for removing the frizzen spring and the mainspring? I am working on a Pedersoli Great Plains Rifle kit and would like to take the hammer and frizzen spring off of the lock plate in order to remove the coloring of the outside of the lock and...

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    Will do. The barrel is now sitting about 1/16 inch up in the air above the inletting in the barrel channel. I just checked and I have plenty of Acraglas gel on hand so that is the way I will go. I have had to use it before on my kit builds and it always does the trick. I am always a little...

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    To ebsails, frankie, longcruiser, and jaegermeister I would like to say you were RIGHT. I temporarily shimmed up the tang and the touch hole now sits pretty much in the sunset position as shown in the attached photograph. I need to do a little more work to make it permanent and make the tang...

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    Good to hear. I might just be anticipating a problem that might not exist but being new to flinters and nervous that it might not go bang or might have consistent hang fires, I thought seeking input from experience flintlock shooters seemed prudent.

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    Thanks for the info. Might have to consider this.

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    I agree with you in principle BUT this was purchased on line. When you figure return shipping costs and the headache of trying to get my money back or get them to send me a replacement (when they will contend there is nothing wrong with it), and the fact that there is no guarantee that the...

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    You don't happen to have a photograph of what the pan looked like after you "touched the bottom" do you? Just in case I happen to need to do something similar after I fire it.

    Will do.

    Pedersoli/Lyman Great Plains Kit

    Thanks for the advice and I do plan to try it out after the rifle is finished before I make any modifications. Hopefully it will give me no problems but being new to the dark side of muzzleloaders, I thought I would see what experienced people thought as to possible solutions to a possible problem.
