I actually helped out the speed of the process I put a fan on it several feet away to try to help with the humidity and the airflow seems to be doing well. Thk u for replying

this past weekend i put finish on my rifle (AQUA FORTIS) and really liked the outcome of it. I then put tried and true oil varnish thinned with thinner and the first coat went on great. Soaked up alot and then i let it dry. ( with this weather i never thought it would.) Sunday night i put...

I had to settle on the 21.99 per lbs and got 5 lbs. that will last me a while. Now caps i need to find.

Looking for older patterns or stencils for a lancaster rifle with a modern motif. I am building a lancaster with my USAF motif from my Security police days. I wanted to add some carvings around the wrist and stock but not to elaberate. Just dont have the skill yet but in practice. Any one...

Thank you all for the response this is a very good forum. I got some powder at Midway but for caps. Well nothing. I found some musket caps, will those work for me?

Im sure this has been asked many times but it is frustrating on how things have become with the BP world. Im at a point to be able to look for powder for my Lancaster i put together but unable to find powder. Its a 50 cal percussion. Does substitute powder work in these rifles? Or if not...

Yes i was elated when it worked the way it should. Front file 1/32 and loosening the spring did wonders.

Looking at the picture above it seems that I have a double phase trigger and I accomplished the working of the hammer releasing was to file down the front trigger another 32nd which allowed it to not make contact with the Seer for it to COK now that I did that it works correctly I can cock it...

I cannot tell you the manufacture of the trigger but here are some pics of the trigger looking at both sides and it being set as well. I found that the set trigger still hits the sear when putting in the trigger but as you will see in the set position it does not but will not allow the hammer...

Not from scratch but a kit that the parts are not 100 % inletted and could be a mix and match. Pecatonica kit. Lancaster percussion

I will try the shims. Thank you

The trigger plate is level with the wood that would raise it some would it not be better to lower the front trigger at the top where it hits the Seer? Im not experienced with thus trigger type im just wondering.

I have a set trigger set up and while putting all together (lock,trigger and lock and hammer) i could not set the trigger. I found it was binding on the inside due to the both triggers being too high and hitting the sear. I filed down the set trigger to work properly and then found the hammer...
