It was a kit I bought but can't honestly remember where from? Maybe muzzle loader builder supply? Again it was 10 years ago

Started this about 10 years ago and set it to the side. Started in on it again.

I've been talking with Ray. Sold out as of the moment. Looking at the pic doesn't look like the barrel has a double wedding band. May be wrong but i didn't see it on the Pecatonica either.

Man its been a long time since I've been on here. I've been looking around at NW kits. Looks like TOTW doesn't offer a one anymore. Seems like I remember most I saw had a rounded lock kinda like a queen anne? Most of what I am seeing now is a flat face l&r. Which were more period correct?

I've built 3 long guns but never a dragoon. You're right that butt cap is intimidating. I'll try to round up some pics.

Thanks Zonie. I've never tried bending on cast before. Didn't know one way or the other.

Hello. Working on a dragoon pistol that has the long prongs on the buttcap that get inletted into the sides of the grip. This being cast steel can it be bent by hand to contour the grip or does it need heated to bend? Don't want to snap either one off. Thanks

I'm going to send an FAL to Orion to have israeli lettering lasered on the receiver. Never heard of doing it on wood.

Nice work. I'm only needing script lettering. I've email a few guys I'm thinking smitty was the one who helped me before. I'll have to wait till Monday , for some reason my iPad doesn't email have the time. Everyone have a good 4th

Thank you for the responses

A couple years back I had a member on here engrave or recommend a engraver that did a Fleur de Lis and tvlle on a lock plate. For the life of me I cant remember who it was, does it ring a bell with someone? Thanks

Thanks all. Good to see you still on here Zonie.

Man, it's been awhile. Will aqua fortis make the grain in walnut pop out like maple? Opinions on nicest finish?

My last build went in the corner several times before I finished it. Nice work. Mine always seem to have inletting black all over it at that stage. :)

i couldn't find #5. i'll check again and see if i missed it.

Thanks

I've made and shot wheel weights balls out of my smoothbore for years but always bought pure lead balls for my rifle. I found a mold for my 54 and cast some of my .50's into them. What is what i have always called "slag" that comes out of the lead? The dry sandy looking stuff. I always thought...

$14 at balistic pro. That aint bad. Thanks

I thought at one time bass pro carried it. I've got a them, cabelas and gander mountain in driving distance. Bet shipping on a bag of lead is high.

Does anyone know a source for this.
