Wow, your own heavy duty Singer! :cool:

Rest in peace, Mr. Derrick. You had gifts.

That is one handsome 'buss, mister. :cool: Makes a feller grin just thinking about it.

You guys have ALL the fun, Dale! :cool:

Bringing this one back up. I'd love to see us go forward with a new-made miquelet lock. The lock by Navarro/Nabarro that Señor Rick posted back on Page 3 looks like a good candidate for Chris Hirsch, although the engraving might make it a challenge.

Sir, please see the Fremont thread in the Plains forum. Lots of information there.

So this is where they all went! :cool: Thanks for posting Terry. Hope all is gangbusters at your house.

I'm in.

I'd be scared to death to take it out of the castle. "Might break sumpin."

Loving those Fosters. :cool:

I would be thrilled with that pattern-- even from a modern unmentionable. Is that a greased pattern board? I have seen them but never used one. Looks like a very nice range you have there.

If you are talking about muzzle-loaders.com, good outfit. Good prices, very prompt shipping. The other one, muzzleloaders.com, deals in unmentionables.

Is this the one we are discussing? http://www.therifleshoppe.com/catalog_pages/matchlocks/(571).htm This one looks quite handy, if earlier.

Rick, I had forgotten about the CVA Ripoll pistol. Why did I not buy one? Rudyard, that gorgeous escopeta you built would fit the bill perfectly. :cool: I have moved back to New Mexico, the heart of escopeta land.

Rudyard, I should have guessed that you have an escopeta or two under your gunmaker's belt! :cool: I will revisit the museums in Santa Fe and Albuquerque once back in the state -- and Kit Carson's wonderful old home in Taos. It seems there may have been an escopeta at the Coronado Historic Site...

I've been blessed to own two Second Models over the years and they are such simple and yet enchanting carbines. I hope you really enjoy shooting yours.

Rick, you are absolutely correct. It all starts with a well-designed and built lock. Once one becomes available, finding a source to cast buttplate, trigger guard and barrel bands would not be difficult, and a CNC stock shaping and inletting program could be written. I see this as more than...

Songwriter, I have a hunch that once awakened, there would be a sizable audience interested in escopetas in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California and possibly Florida. Art, it might make sense to "dun" some of the Indian houses on the subject or ask Loyalist or Charles at Veteran Arms to help...

Well, Art, you must have an inside line speaking for Jim as you do. Of course I realize such a project would have to pencil out, and I have no idea what the demand for it would be, but I also believe that if such a kit were available and it dawned on American muzzleloader shooters what a...

Art, I firmly believe Jim Kibler can make whatever firearm he takes a notion to and hit it out of the park on the first pitch. :cool:
