    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    It is odd that you assume that I have broken the law when there might have been other laws broken when I was charged. Anyways for what it is worth all charges against me for centerfire weapons have been dropped. I still go to court for having unregistered flintlocks in the spring. My original...

    Sillywet Question

    As Paul mentioned AR plate is good as well as CHT [ carbon steel heat treated ] for targets. If you are going to a scrap dealer he probably won't know what you are talking about so take a magnet with you. A lot of armour plate has manganese in it and manganese tends to make steel less...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    I was feeling sorry for myself about this situation the other day and I remembered a conversation I had with a friend of mine many years ago. We were talking about guns, and this was about 30 years ago, and he told me a story of what happened when he was about 15 in Germany towards the end of...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    Hello Double Duece, Any repercussions will only be felt by me. I have lived and worked in the USA and some of my grandchildren are American citizens, I even went down to Everit Washington and tried to volunteer for Vietnam but I was told they were de-escalating at the time [1973 ]. The...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    I should also mention that while at the station I asked if they had a copy of the firearms act as I would show them the section that excempts flintlocks. They repied that they relied on their highly qualified firearms experts to rule on matters like mine.

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    A person driving by saw a gun outside my house. You can legaly shoot right in my front yard, people do all the time hunting gophers. They phoned the RCMP, I showed them the gun, they asked if I owned more and I showed them my other flintlock. They asked for my PAL and I told them I don't...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    Everyone in the US thinks the Mounties are like state troopers or something. They are not, they are a law unto themselves at times. Most of them are pretty decent guys but they are not fire arms "experts" or even very good cops. I recall a few years back when my buddy had to land on a highway...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    Hi Zonie! I can see you are not familiar with the RCMP or Canadian jurisprudence. After spending a lot on a lawyer I might get my guns back, very doubtlfull, but the chance of any apology ranks right up there with winning the powerball. The ironic thing is I can go hop in my car and drive to...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    I just finished being charged with owning firearms that were not registered. Fingerprinted photographed ect. The guns in question were Lyman flintlocks. I explained to the RCMP that you don't register flintlocks but they phoned their firearms "expert" and charged me anyway. Lucky I didn't...

    Kerosene loosens rust pretty easily and doesn't hurt the blueing.

    Dura Flints

    I have had good luck with the Lyman flints. I have one that has fired about 50 shots so far and I am still using the original edge. It is almost translucent with no colour or bands though it. It came in a pack of two and the first one I tried had dark bands through it and fractured after...

    That does look nice Wick. Many years ago a friend of mine made a cap lock from scratch. He even rifled the barrel. I don't know where he got the plans from and I don't remember the caliber.

    Thanks for the replies! :) The pricing seemed quite low and now I know why. A couple of years ago the gun shops here were flogging off Indian army F.N assault rifles. I took a look at them and it looked like they were made in someones garage with a dull file and a sledge hammer!

    Anyone have any experience/opinion about the pistols these guys sell? They LOOK O.K. in the photos on their website. I was kind of interested in the Baker Rifle they sell as well.

    Ordinary Crisco seems to work good for me with patched round balls. I did experiment with olive oil an bees wax but went back to Crisco.

    Sources of Black Powder

    I have used substitute in the main charge,Pyrodex, but to make it work you have to dump in a bit of 3f first so that blackpowder is sitting at the touch hole. I used 60 grains of Pyrodex sitting on 12 grains of 3f. It worked well and I only did it because at the time I could only get one can...
