Thanks TC. PM sent.

Looking for a wrench like the one pictured. It fits 13/16" diameter breech plugs with a percussion bolster. T/C's part number is 7316. Thank you!!

@Undertow Awesome!!! Great story, great hunt!

My bet is its Danish. The Danes were known for cobbling up anything leftover by anyone into something like what you have pictured here.

Here are some photos during the machine work.

Every morning I check about 60 cows up the road. There is a bayou that meanders through the place, and an old cutoff pond. I start my route at the pond looking for gators, and then follow along the high bank of the bayou looking for squirrels while scanning the low bank, making sure I don't have...

Cooooool

The rim of the forcing cone and where the barrel touches the frame.

🤣🤣😂😂

Hi RS. That was my plan. I was going to use a military-ish style stock for a minimum amount of drop. Lock would have been a Chambers or Kibler round faced lock for superior operation.

This is a barrel from a Savage model 210 shogun. It has a fully rifled 12 gauge bore with a 1:36” twist. I shortened the barrel, cut the breech off, thread for and fit a breechplug. It is 7/8-14 and fits great. No other holes have been drilled. The bore is in excellent shape. Shiny with 8 groove...

Here’s a Pietta 1851 barrel in .44. Too much metal has been removed from important places. This is a defunct part. Do not try to install it for firing! Use it for practice engraving, cutting dovetails, or cut the boss off, thread the breech and make a derringer barrel. You pay the shipping for a...

Stalking safeties were made as a stand alone safety for the gun when carried in full cock and/or the trigger set while stalking an animal. They are totally silent to disengage, where going to full cock and/or setting a trigger makes a nice metallic click. They work, from experience. Luckily it...

Did you put "gun barrel" in the description of contents? Edit--I see you didn't. USPS does NOT require to to describe your contents. UPS does. When shipping any ML or pre 1898 arms, only one word needs to be in the description: Antiques Also...I have all but stopped using USPS to ship...

WOW!! What a cool find!

Soooooo...... The anticipated nipples from Numrich were a bust. Fire holes were huge, shank taper was nowhere near #11 (too big) or musket cap (too small). Threads did not fit the bolster either!! Womp Womp I ended up trying my idea of the adjustable 5/16"-28 die. Squeezed it down in the vise...

It is definitely a unique bullet. Rifle too!

That’s too cool! Where did you find them?

Well for a flintlock, half cock removed the necessity for the external "dog" that held the flint off the frizzen. With percussion guns, I'm assuming half cock was just a carryover from the flint days, as many were conversions retaining the existing 2 position tumblers. Obviously it makes...

For perc guns, I'm in the capped-with-hammer-down camp. I always use a WELL FITTING nipple and cap combo, and make sure to lower the hammer on the cap and gently press forward to make sure its seated/conformed to the contour of the hammer cup. I want NO GAPS between the hammer cup, cap, priming...
