That's the best way to remove gun stock finish, Citrus stripper, rinse with cold water, let dry, then 0000 steel wool, or sand paper. Restain, and then the finish of your choice. Works for me. Dave

You could silver solder two (2) pieces of thin steel on either side of the of the piece, and redrill it. OR If it is steel take the piece to a welder , and have them weld the hole up, with extra weld on each side, so you can file it down smooth, then redrill the hole. Walmart sells real small...

Charts are rounded up, or down, for the printers convienience. I do the same as 64 springer. Another usefull number, to convert metric to inches, or vise/versa, .....is ".0393701" multiply metric by that, and it will give you inches. Divide inches by that, it will give you metric. Dave

Cutting a ram rod down, and rethreading it is an easy job. Just thread it to 10/32 thead. Dave

Gday to Yah!! from Wisconsin Dave

Thanks FOR ALL your videos, Mark. Dave

The serial # on your Pedersoli should be on the left rear side of the barrel, along with a build date code. They have also started putting the regular date in boxes. Dave

What boman said. Take out the nipple, throw it in the bucket, take out the clean-out screw(dont loose it) let it soak while pumping the barrel with hot water, till your patch comes out clean. Clean your nipple, and the flash chanell with a pipe cleaner. Dry barrel, and lightly oil it. Dave

I second Gus' method, of soldering on brass at the full cock notch on the tumbler. I have done that on all my C. W. Muskets. it works, and lasts. If you try it, use "Silver Solder". I have an ole electric soldering iron that I use just for this kind of work. Dave

79, been shooting blk powder since 1961. Its the only way to shoot. Dave

Good shooting. Good on You. I wish we had places to shoot around here, except for rifle ranges. Our DNR looks down on shooting in the woods, when its not hunting seson.

I have one of each. I built the BB Carbine from a kit, along with the Indian Trade musket, which I am still working on. I plan on shooting both of them this spring. Our black powder range is only open from May thru November. Dave

good Purchace. Thats a nice set up. i Think you will like it. Dave

I have been thinking of my next build from a Pedersoli kit. Was thinking of another Trade Musket kit in 20gage/.62cal, and shorten the BBL to 26 1/2 inches from 36. Would be a cool, lightweight woods gun. What say ye,??. Dave

I have a couple of ole hand drills, I Liberated from the Navy. We called them "hurdy gurdies". They work very good. I also have a nice 1/2 inch Drill press by Omahaw Tool. The little batt operated hand drill I use is a small one, I got on Amazon. Its a Kimo 12 volts, perfect for working on gun...

NO... That would make a bigger hole in the stock as you used it, from ware.. Just drill the hole in the swivel lug a few thousands bigger then the swivel screw diameter, just enough to let the screw swivel. Use the same size drill bit to drill the stock. As for drilling the whole...

You dont drill through the BBL channel per se. The metal lug is silver soldered on to the underside of the BBl. Then drill a whole in it for the sling swivel. Drill it in the lower half of the lug. Then you have to inlet the lug into the stock, in the stocks BBL channel. Use lipstick to on...

Grenadieris right. The pic for the upper swivel is upside down. When swiveled down it will hit the RR pipe and not block the channel. Dave

I havnt done it on a Woodsrunner, But I did it on my Pedersoli Indian Trade gun. I got the sling swivels from TOW. One mounts in the stock, just aft of the trigger gaurd. The other mounts up on the bbl, by the second RR Pipe. For the upper one you will have to silver solder a lug on the bottom...

I use LMF sealer, and let it dry at least 24 hours. The LMF finish does not dry as fast, and I let it dry at least 2 days. Dave
