It has been a while since I made ball starters. There is a historical prominence for this style that I have noted before. This one is maple with a 3/8” (.375) brass rod. It works best with .45 and larger bores. There is a tapped 10-32 hole so that if you want to screw in a larger (or smaller)...

So what do you say would be a FAIR price?

Repriced.

Nice cool day so I spent it getting some targets ready for our Simon Girty Long Rifle “Turkey” shoot in November. This year’s theme will be hunting of all sorts of native game. This is one of three full size deer targets. The steel plate is positioned in the optimum kill zone. I tested it for...

I have always preferred using a flat head wood screw to attach the nose cap. Here is a redrawn idea that works for me. I copied the illustration from Pete Alexander’s The Gunsmith of Grenville County p. 189.

Well after a week and over 200 views, no sale. Could be the result of two factors: 1. Nobody is interested in this Pedersoli Pistol 2. The price is too high. I really can't do much about number 1. However I can adjust #2. I based my price on the numbers that Dixie Gun Works and other...

Ditto to what Doubledeuce said.

Do an internet search. The NMLRA has directions and pattern. ”cow’s knee for muzzleloading rifles”

I bought a Zoli through Navy Arms in 1980 for $125. Yes, It was a .58 with a Minie ball type of rifling. I never shot minies through it, always round ball. It shot well for me. The lock was good, albeit, a flint smasher. Always sparked if you kept a good flint in it. Probably get a dozen...

I have 3 Charlevilles made or at least marketed by Navy Arms. Most like the Jap model of the 1863. The "engraving" on all 3 lock plates looks the same.

I used a Colerain 46" 16 ga fowler barrel to make this fowler. I utilized a French military lock, trigger guard with a French fowler butt plate, all steel. The barrel is advertised as 3.7 pounds. The resultant gun weighs 7 pounds 6 ounces. And with the swamped barrel, it balances and points...
