Welcome from SW Ohio, I have learned massive amount of information on this forum.

Bride and I are heading out on anniversary trip (40) heading to Gettysburg for a few days mid-end of April. Are there any good BP shops near Gettysburg or heading west from there (can re-route PA, VA, WV ) ? Info appreciated since we're really on no time schedule. Joe

Thanks TreeMan, appreciate the leads.

I picked this up at auction because I wanted to add a smoothbore to collection. Told it was of English manufacture "C.Mills" As seen in pictures it is engraved "Mills" only. Plenty of proof marks on underside of barrel. Any and all information, guesses are welcome. Thank you, Joe

You could use gold leaf, try Rio Grande Jewelry supply.

I really wish that Kibler would come out with a left hand kit. Have two left hand flintlocks and one caplock currently that I did not build. I would like one of my own build.

Finally, and I mean finally, it has been a long run for simple project. Finished my pan primer. Moose antler piece and parts from Log Cabin Shop. Silver "caps" on both ends to dress up raw ends.

Thank you for posting, most interesting

Welcome from SW Ohio, Clinton County

Thanks gents. Didn't occur to us. His dads box had pretty much everything else to repair flintlocks remotely.

My friend's father had passed some time ago and we were going thru his rondy box. Found this tool and do not know its use. The handle was stamped Taiwan so we know it does not belong but the tool head was very sharp. Guessing for knapping flint ?? Any help would be appreciated. Joe
