My wife was recently bitten by the muzzleloader bug. I have a swell FL Kentucky style rifle I built from a Track of the Wolf kit, but she needs something small and light. She's barely over 5 foot tall, and has a lenght of pull around 12 inches. I am basically looking for suggestions for either a...

Okay, sounds good. I finished all the metal parts today, including dovetailing for the barrel lugs, and, yes, even the sight dovetails. They really aren't any big deal, and I can't describe the sense of accomplishment I have looking at my finished dovetails! Now it's on to finish sanding and...

Hi gang, it's me again. First, I want to say thanks to all who answered my newbie questions, and those yet to come. I've got pretty much all the hard stuff done except the barrel lugs. Did my first one today by hand, and you guys were right, cutting the dovetails by hand ain't no big deal after...

I got the "classic Golden Age longrifle" in left hand. I am feeling alittle better today, got the butt plate fit and the trigger assembly/trigger guard inletted too. Also got my first injury on the job, inletting chisel slipped and almost took half of my finger off. So I'm taking it easy today...

Wife bought me a Track longrifle flint kit for my 40th birthday.. happy birthday to ME! How does one decide where to drill on the lock for the crossbolts which tie it to the escutcheon plate on the other side? This kit has a Siler lock, and I don't see any conveniently predrilled and tapped...
