welcome from Warrenton Missouri. try to make it to the Hawken classic in Defiance mo. August 25 thru 27

when I buy bulk ticking material I always wash twice to get the sizing out. It makes the material softer and more absorbent to whatever lube you use. Some of my rifles like pre cuts, after experimenting other's like ticking .

Great looking rifle @Badfinger .I always love the back stories that come with family heirlooms. Like others have said, if could talk. I agree @Tanselman is a great source of information, he informed me about my rifle made around 1840s. Enjoy, Bruce

dang what do I do with all my 4f

prayers for you my brother. I hope and pray that they will find out what's going on .I guess as we age we aren't like wine but as you are still above ground there's hope . God bless, Bruce

up grade, I used a set screw hex out, measured width of the barrel ground down to clear a cleaning jag and drilled a 1/16 hole . The powder lays next to the set screw .It does look a bit large but it funnels the heat well. Now if I want to change to percussion, unscrew vent screw in drum. Like...

I said ,I said ,how in the world do you sound like Foghorn leghorn.

very nice 👌. I now have to bite the bullet and get a woodsrunner. as others have said it is a great custom built rifle at consumer prices. thanks for the innovation, Bruce

I wish I could buy a 3/8 × 16, but can only find 24 tpi I believe you lighting vents are 32 tpi. so seems this is the only thing I can do. I'll let others suggest fixes and go with the best suggestions. Thanks, Bruce

the thing I love about this forum is the help and wisdom you get . I'll pass it on when I can,now off to the local hardware store. Bruce

I recently bought a 1976 DGW Pennsylvania rifle in cap. I am changing it to flint ,the lock is in but when I pulled the drum it's 3/8 ×16 so I need to make my own. some say to use a hex head set screw and I guess drill a1/16 hole. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks,Bruce

prayers for you two feathers. Bruce

two feathers what a great horn. It's a good working horn . The beauty is in the subtlety of it. Great job, Bruce

prayers for you and your family and medical team. I enjoy your posts and pictures. Get better soon. Bruce

I think they use 5/8 ×5/8 flints which is what my traditions Springfield flint uses

Dixie no longer has the kits. I bought a dgw 45cal Pennsylvania rifle in percussion planning to change it to a flintlock. I think it was made in 1976 so it could be a pedersoli stamped made in Italy ky. and pa. rifles used the same lock as others. I will check with vti. Bruce

I went on vti web sight I believe that is the lock I need. thanks for your help. Bruce

I just bought a dgw 45cal Pennsylvania rifle in percussion. One reason I bought it was dixie has kits to change over to flintlock. I called dixie and they don't have them anymore so I need to find one close. thanks for any help. Bruce
