This thread has served its purpose. Thanks everyone. I see no reason to for the thread to continue....Zonie, feel free to close.

Well, I think I won't pursue this one as my "entry level" project. Just too many gray areas for me with this one. I was in contact with the seller with questions. Anyway, thanks for everyone's input, you guys spotted a lot more than I did. I learned two things here, you guys are very helpful...

Yah Bubba, that's pretty much it. I retired recently and wanted to begin building something in the way of a muzzleloder. Figured a kit like this would be an easier entry level project, but I have my reservations here, and I am not fond of being fooled either. So you seem to know a thing or two...

May I PM you?

Ok, well....?....in the worst case scenario, if an original barrel was switched in this kit with a replacement barrel marked Spain( and I'm not insinuating the seller did this, it may have happened long ago) .........is the kit still worth considering? The price isn't bad. Are the marked Spain...

I know everyone is probably Mountain rifle weary lately, there has been a lot of threads- very interesting though- but I need some quick info. I have a chance at a a Mountain rifle kit. Everything's looks like it should, with one puzzlement.....there is a "Spanish marked" barrel and it is...

You know what Grenadier, my question almost makes me embarrassed. I have 2 flintlocks and both have that ridge, I just looked. I have shot more than a dozen deer over the years and clean my guns religiously, but never considered the function of that ridge. That being the case, the notches in the...

I am really enjoying seeing pictures of the variety of these Mountain rifles. It is so interesting to see how a common gun is developed into a unique piece that " makes it your own". Perhaps that's the real worth of these guns to the art of muzzleloading. The pictures remind me of a question...

By the way, if that gun is loaded........I would NOT use a torch. Please be advised of this. I can't emphasize this enough.That gun could go off.

OK, should have watched the video before my post, but an "easy-out" or "E-Z out" is the way I would go, good luck.

If, after using the penetrating oil, the nipple is still not coming out......could an " easy- out tool" work here. These tools are designed for just this purpose. Maybe you know someone that has machinist tools and has an easy-out set......using the existing hole in the nipple, or perhaps...

Good points.... but....I believe this was a firearm that was around for a very long time but stamped much later and not as a maker's mark but an identifying mark. Primitive firearms are still in use today by tribesmen in that part of the world. Also, Tajikistan not only came under Russian...

After trying to dig deeper online, I can't say the translation of the marking is "tajik", I think the translator detected the Tajik language, which uses a form of cyrillic, Russian. So I say this markng has to do with Tajikistan, but not sure of its literal translation. Well, that's my input on...

"иррши" Well, this is an interesting thread..... I got on an online Russian keyboard and typed in the above. That's what it looked like to me anyway. Then I choose a google translator. The answer came up " tajik" in English Then I looked up "tajik" and found that it is an ethnic group in the...

Item is sold, thanks..........Zonie, please close, thank you

Here's something I often wondered.....how HC and/ or PC are left handed side locks? Are there many examples in firearms museums such as Cody? I am sure an early gun maker could produce a lefty at will, but how often was this done? Militia muskets obviously weren't produced in left handed, or...

Gunbroker is listing one as a "gunsmith special" right now too. Made in USA, replaced sights and missing drum. ........it's on a complete stock

I purchased a 57 SML to put on my TC Hawken, but before I got around to it, I traded the Hawken. So this is a new in the box sight set. I understand these are out of stock or backordered everywhere. Why, I have no idea. Anyway, here is a new one.Has box, sight, mounting screws, instuctions and...
