    Teach the children muzzleloaders

    I wish there were more muzzleloaders sized appropriately for small shooters.

    Stock wood

    I have purchased from them before. I find their prices are a little high but that is weighed against the fact that you can see pictures of the stock before buying and the dimensions and grain orientation is given. I have never had a problem with them delivering in a timely fashion.

    The Gun Works Muzzleloading Emporium and box lock actions

    I have never had a bad experience with them. I have the underhammer action from them that works great. as well as two barrels. you will need to call them to see if things are in stock.

    Small Gap .23MM Breech to stock

    put inletting black on the barrel. then put the screw in and tighten. take it apart and remove metal from where the bolt is contacting the barrel. lots of original guns had notches in the barrels to accommodate lock bolts.

    BREECH PLUG

    go slow when it comes to taking off metal. once you remove too much you have to go to the next flat. a good vise and wrench is nesisary to get things tight. and I put anti sieze on the threads. the plug is likely going to have be checked for fit a few times and once the gun is built if it ever...

    Kibler .32 Caliber SMR….

    I don't have one. and I am a big fan of 32 and am constantly fighting the urge to bet a SMR. the 36 will be a tad lighter, buck the wind a little better. the only big advantage is if a person doesn't cast. the 36 can be fed with 000 Hornady buckshot. which would be cheaper than buying .310...

    trigger guard

    you could anneal the brass and try to reshape it to give you a bit more room. you will likely have to refinish the part to remove any new tool marks you put in it.

    Hand Saws

    I use that kind of saw for most of the time. the only problems I have are that it is difficult to adjust the direction of the cut so starting the cut is really critical. highly figured wood sometimes causes the thin blade to cup or bow. my western style saw does not have those problems but for...

    Bore/barrel size

    i don't have any numbers but I do know many rifles get built with the lugs soldered on because the swamped profile makes parts of the barrel to thin to have a dovetail.

    rate(s) of twist chosen

    it is all about stabilizing the ball. larger balls can have slower twist rates than smaller ones. small calibers like 25 and 32 are great at a faster pitch like 1:32 while something like a 4 bore can go as slow as 1:144. but 1:48 and 1:66 works good for most calibers between 40 and 60.
