I'd have to measure, but I believe the 1-48 guns said great plains hunter on them

Still available

Does someone still need to sit at the computer and analyze a couple hundred lines of G- code for hours to make sure the machine will give you what you want and not crash into itself?

So just to update; along with polishing the mating surfaces of both the spring and the tab, I noticed while holding the lid and finial slightly further forward the lid seemed to have noticeably more inclination to snap shut. So with that in mind I repositioned the spring roughly 3/16" further to...

I'm wondering if I don't have to deepen the spring's mortise. I think I can get the tip of the spring higher that way actually. Right now it's touching the hinge, I think. Along with polishing the spring, Phil; I suppose it would help to polish and slightly radius the end of the lid tab.

Hi folks, I've got a question regarding the function of a patchbox lid on a rifle I put together. I bought the patchbox from Track of the Wolf. I followed the instructions pretty well I think, but I seem to have a situation where the lid doesn't really want to fully close unless I snap it shut...

My colonial came with both

Says everyone but his mailman, lol

Thanks to everyone for the input. The issue here with parts not coloring evenly from one to another made me look at the bigger picture here. Last night I was looking at the barrel and it had an almost candied appearance to it. Kinda like one of those root beer barrel candies we'd get at...

Even if it's left to roughen up like @Eric Krewson 's example above?

Maybe I'm just carding way too often. Our humidity is in the 40-60% range. I've been carding at no more than 3 hours. The parts are brown, but they're like glossy brown. I'd like it if they were rougher; I just didn't want the stuff to get out of control on me.

Thanks for the response. I guess another way of putting it is that all my other parts took on an almost chocolate color with little effort. The frizzen wants to turn black and splotchy. Do I just let it go and it'll turn dusty red with rust?

I'm using Laurel Mountain Forge to brown a colonial. It's mostly going okay, but the frizzen really doesn't seem to want to brown. I understand it's harder stuff, but is there a trick to getting to match the rest of the parts? The barrel and lock plate look really nice.

Now I know why mine took so long to get. Seems like everyone has cherry colonials now.

How long do you make your slots?

So you basically did triple the hole diameter? That seems like a lot. Do the stocks really expand and contract that much?

What is the correct tool for doing this? I'm using the finest point rifflers file I have and it seems to be a pretty slow go. Also, how much should the hole be elongated? Are we talking a few thousandths, or daylight on each side of the pin? Thanks all...

No formal commitments yet

Hello from over by Plover

Mine is in cherry also. Maybe not the best choice for a first gun if I wanted to get creative.
