I speak a *******ized Alaskan-canadian dialect, I will try to parse it out. String and thumtacks? Naw, I have lasers😎 Kidding aside, I read the thread on triggers, the drawings explained alot. Going to take it slow, I have till April when my target stand thaws 🧊

2nd in line

I have that one, I will dig it out. Thanks for the reminder

Ok, then. More questions. I have "recreating the American longrifle " and "gunsmith of greenville county" Any other must haves? I will start a new build thread too. Money has been removed for my account.so it on the way I guess.

Looks like a great time.

Trade gun by Doc white, .62 smooth

Put in an order for a Chambers smooth rifle kit. 46" .62 barrel, standard wood, brass furniture and english round face lock. Now the panic is setting in, what have I done?🤢 I have a long Alaskan winter to get it done, my target stand melts out mid april.

Well, now the wait starts. Put in my order today. Standard maple, my only other choice was a $350 upgrade, I'm sure it is very nice, but I would have been so 🤬 when I messed it up. Maybe the next one, the fowler I think. Time to think of finishes now.

Yes it is😍

Called earlier, only stock available is light figured maple without a patch box. The nice young lady I talked to was very helpful. They are expecting a shipment of wood this week or next so will call back. I want a patch box, and I am going to spring for top notch wood.

Thanks comperssorguy. The pics did it for me!

Thanks for the background on this gun, interesting thread back in 2020. Original 18th century Virginia Rifle Going to make the call today.

Has anyone built one these? What are your impressions?

Everyone attending must have had to sign an NDA🤣

So an update. Everything went well was able to open the notch a bit and get everything lined up well. My breech plug looks alot like Kansas kids pic 0383 I thought I took more pics, but I am so bad at that. Will touch up the browning, and test it out this weekend.

I will take a closer look for an existing liner. Ordered a ¼" white lightning, it should fit right in there and the cone edge at the rear will be just "lower" than the notch, bit of file work(a small bit) and I think things will be good. I have been looking at this from 42" away for a year...

Whenever I am watching a YouTube how to, when the milling machine is involved I just move on. A very small % of us have a machine shop in our garage, I think I can get by with a drill press and a file.

Thanks for the replies. There are issues with ignition if I don't have a pick in the touch hole when I load. Pan is fairly narrow so moving the hole forward is not an option I don't think. I think I will be fine with a combination of coned liner and widening the "notch" a bit. Thanks again

I have them for emotional support 😎

Witched the barrel on my .54, still need to soften the edges just a bit
