Beautiful job, I love the lines of that gun.

Yup, forgot about those. Wouldn’t have one of them. Others, no problem in my opinion.

Previously mentioned depth of rifling and twist rate. If primarily shooting round ball the Green Mountain withe deeper rifling and slower twist would be the best choice. For Maxi ball type projectiles, the T/C would probably be best due to the faster twist and shallower rifling. Choice is mostly...

Very great idea. Thanks for the explanation.

Very nice stand! Please excuse my ignorance but what are the turned long pegs and what function do they serve? Thanks!

Very nice job. Yankee ingenuity and self confidence win the day. Great work, enjoy your rifle.

Do tell, who built that beautiful rifle?

I really like your idea. If it holds up I might just have to try it. Could you add a photo of the hammer side view withe the shield installed next time you have the gun apart?

A very good tip to improve ignition on these chambered breech systems. Every idea helps. Thanks!

I think that “shunned” is far more a reaction to attitude. Nothing to do with being left handed these days.

Please check out Jim Chambers rifle kits. He offers two left hand versions with left cast off as well. One is Issac Haines, the other is a pre- revolutionary war Pennsylvania fowler available in smooth or rifled barrel options. Perhaps @ColonialRifleSmith could be commissioned to assemble it for...

Yet he may at some point down the road. Not now though. If one absolutely need a left handed flintlock here’s a thought; Order one of Chambers lefty kits, he has several, commission a builder to make one, or buy a plank a barrel and a left-handed Siler from track and build a gun. All valid...

Chambers offers some left hand kits.

To start, you will need to remove all the screws as it appears your holes are off center pulling the butt plate askew. A very small amount of wood needs to be carefully shaved where the top of the butt plate meets the comb. Very small amount, then try for fit. A bit at a time. Do not remove too...

Depends wholly on who is doing the review and why. Get all bent out of shape because Kibler doesn’t offer one now? That’s not a proper review. It is a tantrum because something you want is not offered at this time. Review? No. Whine, yes. Why whine when someone doesn’t offer what you want for...

Jim , you couldn’t be more correct. Who needs that. I’m certain he’ll be much happier with a deficient lock. Your gain is the other businesses loss.

The dog and I watched “ A Time for Killing” with Glen Ford and a cameo of a very young Harrison Ford. Its story is imprisoned Confederates escape and are tracked down. Almost all in both armies are shot and killed with 1873 trapdoors, lever action Winchesters and 1873 Colts. A Whitworth was...
