After watching the assembly video of the Woodsrunner one thing is not quite clear to me: The barrel (and other parts) are fixed to the stock by pins. When cleaning the gun I understand it is best to remove the barrel and disassemble the gun. Will not the pins become loose quickly when you...

I‘d like a Baker rifle. Anybody know wether Peter Dyson still makes these in the UK? Didn‘t answer my e-mail….

I will keep you up to date. How did you finish the Walnut? Did you use filler?

We‘ll see. As far as I know they need to be visible when the gun is completely assembled….

I did and they can :-) Next week I will find out what the requirements for proofing the gun will be. That will be necessary in order for me to shoot it legally.

They say it is an original. Also mentioning that it is „very rare“.

Thank you all very much for your recommendations! The Woodsrunner is a very attractive rifle indeed. I have writen them an e-mail asking if they would ship to Germany. Maybe they have some experience wether that is a problem or not already. I take the comment about the suitability of the...

How do the Chambers and Kibler kits compare in quality (locks!) and ease of build? What caliber would you prefer?

Thank you for those suggestions! Just to make sure I understand correctly: It is Jim Chambers? This rifle: Jim Chambers Flintlocks ? I like both rifles very much! I'm not sure I would feel confident to attempt a build myself. Are there builders that can be recommendend if I wanted to...

Yes, Pedersoli would be an obvious choice. But I first need to decide what kind of rifle I want. Proofing is required but it is not impossible to have a rifle tested and proofed locally. So I think I should be pretty free to choose. As far as American flintlock rifles are concerned there are a...

I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations on buying a first flintlock rifle. It is going to be used for target shooting 50m standing and 100m shooting prone. Not for hunting or reenactment but I would still like to own a gun that is a resonably acurate replica of a historical rifle. I...

It might be possible to find a Ford Anglia in Germany ;-)

Are you talking about the "Brownells" branded ones? They also have some called "Forster" and "Grace"?

To be more specific than in my original post: can someone recommend a good set of proper screwdrivers for guns?

Thank you! Great recommendation on the book! The shipping is a bit steep ($95) but luckily it is available as e-book on Kindle and I am already half way into it :-)

Great link! Thank you very much! Some of the pieces shown are among my favorites of the weapons museum in Suhl.

Thank you all for the suggestions! Unfortunatley my suspicion that it might be too loose appear to have been right: now it don't release anymore at all. But as this is a new gun the dealer will take care of it and put it right.

Thanks again for the friendly messages. Vielen Dank!

Like the title suggests I‘m looking for a good book that discusses the technical aspects and the proper care for flintlock muskets, rifles and pistols. Gunsmith ABCs/101. Also can you make a recommendation for the basic tools for flintlock guns? Thanks!

200 yards front yard range! No, I am not jealous at all ;-)
