Thank you for the contact info and the advice Dave. I have the German lock but have not inlet it yet. Reason being, every way I have positioned it on the blank with the profile I drew, it just looks off to me. I was going to wait and show it to someone for advice before inletting it. Perhaps the...

Rich I have a Rice Lancaster/Dickert 44" 62 cal D weight barrel. The guard I chose was a Goehring #62 if I remember right (grabbed it at Kempton last summer). I also ordered a couple Lehigh style guards from Mike Brooks.

I've forged three single triggers from scrap my Son has brought me from his welding class. I have a railroad spike I found that I intend to turn into a few rear sights.

Hi Rich Thanks for the reply. I have the early Germanic lock for this build. I have been told that this isn't the greatest performing lock also by others but it seemed to be the best match for the build. I tried getting a Laubach lock but had no success getting in contact. I have also swaged a...

Starting a copy of RCA 52. Wondering if anyone has a template of the stock they'd be willing to share? Or any other dimensions that might be known from the original. I have the book and the dimensions they give but would be interested in any other info available.

Looks like nice work at a fair price. Wish you the best.

Justin, Please send this my way. PM sent.

No offense taken by me. I think people understand the question but are trying to understand why the screw would break. I can understand the hammer taking shock and possibly breaking but I still have a hard time seeing how that screw would take any shock unless there was side force on the head...

Nice attitude, I'm sure you'll get a lot of help, By the way I've never had any issues with TC screws. Not sure why the end of the screw would even break off. It shouldn't be under any kind of stress during shooting.

Still no March/April issue received.

Sounds like you have an English lock made by Wilson for a trade gun. The book ' For Trade and Treaty' has good info as does 'The Encyclopedia of Trade Goods Firearms Volume 1' from the Museum of the Fur Trade. Also search this forum for posts from member @Rob M. He has posted pics of originals...

I found that using finer finishing grits to polish the barrel didn't help. I'd try roughing it up from the 320 you used to 220 grit or so. You could try this on a bottom surface so if you don't like the result it won't be seen since you've already polished to finer grit.

I would have thought this end plate should be flat??

Really neat, thx for sharing.

Heck yeah, those are good folks. They have setup at Kempton in the past. They're from somewhere in PA. Very pleasant to deal with.

Anyone who's made a handmade entry pipe, how did the transition from pipe to tab look? My first attempt here. I feel like there is too much slope in the transition. Figured I'd get opinions before wasting a chunk of brass.
