    Apprenticing to a master/learning to build longrifles

    Gentlemen, thanks so much for the help, contacts, and replies. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey. It seems like I've got my work cut out for me, but I'm in this for the long haul. Some phone calls and a LR parts kit or two seem to be in order. The next few months will be busy with...

    Apprenticing to a master/learning to build longrifles

    Due to her getting laid off and hired downstate, Mrs. PA Prof and I are pulling up the stakes and moving to the vicinity of Shippensburg, PA (not too far from Carlisle and Gettysburg). I've been shooting flintlocks for a few years now and am almost finished my first kit, which is a Kentucky...

    What's the attraction

    If you like history, engineering, and invention, they deeply satisfy. Flintlocks were used in both the French and Indian War and the War of Independence. The lock mechanism itself is the product of a long line of incremental development that is fascinating in itself~matchlock, wheel lock...

    Custom vs Production

    A greenhorn's opinion: I just got into this hobby two years ago. Originally began with a TC Hawken to learn how to shoot a flintlock. I wanted an inexpensive gun at first. Yet, moving up to my .54 cal TVM Early Lancaster "Mabel" was a natural progression. While neither of my flinters are...

    The beauty and mystique of Penna/Kentucky Longrifles

    Hi all, I'm still new to this scene--just got into flintlocks a little over a year ago. In that time I've acquired two: a T/C Hawken that I purchased last summer, and a TVM Early Lancaster that I ordered late last summer and received early this year. In my spare time between going to the range...

    Who uses a gun case/sheath for their flinter?

    Thank you all for your replies. It's good to know that the Track price is fair--as are most of their prices. I've been consulting with the Management about the possibility of a handmade wool case with a removable camo outer for hunting, which might save us a little silver in the short...

    Who uses a gun case/sheath for their flinter?

    Been looking at the nice leather fringed suede case over at Track lately. But it's more than $40...which could go a long way for other things. How good is the utility value of these things? The main purpose I can think of for it would be while carrying the Early Lancaster through the woods in...

    early lancaster pictures

    Arigato gozaimasita Hanshi, That clarifies things a bit. Toni said basically what you said: it's easy to fix it with a little rubber cement or Devron. I may visit the hardware store and pick up a bit; in-season I tend to go through pretty tight brush and having had the mountain claim my priming...

    Thread type and flint size on TVM early lancaster

    Hi everyone, Just got my .54 cal early lancaster in silver from TVM about two weeks ago. I actually held off opening the box for about a week since I had to go to the hospital for a diagnostic procedure with potentially scary outcome and it gave me something to look forward to after! Few...

    early lancaster pictures

    I just got my early lancaster in silver from TVM about two weeks ago. Should be able to get some pics up later. One thing I noticed is that the nose cap is pretty loose. I can easily just pop it off the nose with gentle pressure. Is this supposed to be this way? Going to give Toni a call today.

    Casting fisheyes

    Hi everyone, Hope yall are well. I am an apprentice smokepoler and in anticipation of the 54 cal Early Lancaster I ordered earlier last year from TVM, I've recently gotten into casting my own lead pumpkins. I've got one of those Lee production pots and a Lee mold. Seriously though, I found...
