Definitely kudos to two builders on this forum. 1st to PathfinderNC for the idea of a trigger guard placement jig. With his description I made up one to help fit a guard on a pistol I am making. I laminated 3 pieces of wood, one which was about 1/8” thick and placed in the middle and gapped such...

At the upper right of this page is a drawing of a magnifying glass. Click on it and ask your question. Veteran Arms has been discussed many, many, many . . . . times.

I have been making and selling these for a while. They appear to have some historical provenience.

One more. I made this one many years ago. I usually hide it behind some logs or brush.

This one was a bit harder to hit. A real challenge.

A bit more complex but fun

Either 8-32 or 10-32. I could do a 10-24 if requested.

Last Call: I will not be able to make these this winter as I will not be in my shop. However I have this week (December 17-23) to make some up to your specs. There is a reference that I have posted before for these starters": (Spence 10 on 5-27-17): _Scloppetaria:_ by Capt. Henry Beaufroy...

Forgot to include the required security info. The walnut starter is still available as are any that you might want made up. Have maple, ash, hickory, cherry, oak plus 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, and 1/2” brass for rods. If interested PM me soon as I most likely will not be making them this winter...

Yes, I use a 1/4” brass rod (.25”). Here is one in cherry, but I can make one of other wood. The 1/4” one next to the 3/8” walnut I have listed above.

I have made a lot of these. They seem to have a historical presence in the early 1800s. This one is walnut with a 3/8” (.375”) brass rod which has been drilled and tapped 10-32. I will ship to you for $18.50.

.50 cal, shot about 10-20 times. Interested? PM me

I am just a little south and west of Rochester and as such was spared the big snow. Thanks for your thoughts

We are a primitive, flint only group that have been active since 1978. We have 4 seasonal shoots (spring, summer, etc.) on private land. We were a larger group but over time numbers have decreased. If interested in flint shooting, rifle, smooth, pistol let me know.

They are. Flat topped so you can “slap” with any part of your hand. Plus with the concave ball area at the end of the brass rod, it stable and not likely to slip off the ball. Also by being drilled and tapped (if so desired), jags of various sizes make the starter very versatile.

And then there is this guy (me) who is making a short starter based on some first hand documentation of one illustrated in an early 19th century manuscript. Very comfortable in their intended purpose and can be utilized in multiple bore sizes.

Hi again. I made a few starters last week and have time to make some more this week. As the ads indicate, I use multiple woods and various brass rod sizes. Price is still the same, $18.50 shipped to you. Thanks for looking. Allan

GREAT IDEA!!! Saves me a couple of steps. Always an option I guess if a purchaser so desires. Your wish is my command.
