Hey swab man, what all did you have to do ? The reason i think this was a replica is the muzzle has score marks a perfect 3/4 inch deep round . " a plugged muzzle " maybe ? The mainspring is is non removable . Its either epoxied or spot welded in . Ive used a mainspring vise and vise clamps and...

Yeah ive tried several ways .... I personally dont think this gun was made to be fired .

Flints came in .... cant get a spark . Flint hits halfway up and fails to open frizzen all the way . Flint is wrapped and set against screw . I think i should have went with a 1 inch flint instead of 3/4 . If i do go with a 1 inch then the flint edge will shoot past the pan quench . The flint...

I dont think the barrel is pot metal .... its heavy steel . I polished up the bore . The roughness only extended about an inch down . The rest of bore looks nice . I have no idea who had it before me . Ill report back when parts get here .

Yes im just going to shoot for fun .... internet search indicated a worn out frizzen would have a " washboard " look . Im taking yalls advice and see if it sparks first . Question , so im needing a 3/4 inch british style flint ? Does thickness matter ? Also , how should i go about polishing the...

Frizzen is 3/4 wide . Inside barrel diameter looks like .481 ... frizzen looks bad . I know ill need leather and flint to shoot it . Where would i locate the right frizzen ? Springs look good . It cocks and locks . Inside barrel has some gouges near the muzzle but otherwise clean inside . I put...

Ill post pics later today as gun is still in parts .a few question first , should i purchase a mainspring vise and is it even necessary to disassemble whole lock ? Also what info should i provide because im sure ill need parts " flints, leather possibly a frizzen " i have no info on this gun .

Aaaaah gotcha !

Ill get some pics up after i clean it up ..... dont know what leather is for .

picked up a flintlock pistol at a pawn shop. dont know nothing about it. i know percushion BP but this is new to me. my research tells me i need a flint and possibly a frizzen as this one seems scored up pretty good. idk it may be normal wear.ive dissassembled it . it was heavily rusted and now...

i see it sold...... disregard my earlier pm.

I enjoyed that ....

.58 cal with a .570 round ball and .010 patch is what i do . Shouldnt be a bear to ram .

Hey neighbor.... browns summit NC here !

i do live on a budgeted income.my grandchildren and parents take alot of my time and money so i enjoy occasionally shooting guns. just got back into black powder and surprised to see how much prices have gone up .

Yeah i saw grafs earlier .... minimum 40 dollar purchase . So that means two tins at 39 a piece for a total of 115 bucks with fees . I dont need 500 caps . I could do 1 tin and find something for a dollar lol ...thats still 80 bucks for 250 caps with fees . I guess it is what it is . Anybody...

picked up a nice musket the other day but now cant find caps without dropping 150 bucks with minimum order and fees involved . my choices now seem pay the money, use reenactment caps or convert to #11 percushion caps.i did find some caps for around 75 bucks for 200 but that still seems...

ill take it....pm sent
