    Timeframes of locks ??

    You could get Torsten Lenk's book on the Origin of the Flintlock, (very cheap on e-bay) but I think that is earlier that you are wanting. But yes, most historians agree that the French made the first Flintlock. There is still some doubt, but most say it was Marin Le Bourgeoys (d 1634) and that...

    CVA pistol kit question

    You could also "Tin" it with solder. I think I would do that and do one of the above as well. Woody

    New guy with a basic question.

    Glad to meet you. Welcome to the forum. I am an amature smith myself and have only made a few tools. I am sure I know less than you do and would surely like to learn more. There are guys on this forum that can certainly help. Woody

    keeping a wood pb

    Yup, do it Spence's way. In the military, we used to use 550 cord - called it "dummy cord" to tie our M-16's to our webbelts so we would not walk off without it. Yes, this can happen after you have been up for several days living in a hole or out on patrol. Point is; it's agood insurance...

    Building a stock for an existing barrel, lock, etc...

    Not sure, but I suppose it would be alot harder to do without any electricity. I use keys so if I miss with my hand (cranked) drill to either side it does not matter much. (Although you do have to be careful to get the "up and down" right.) Once I am in the ball park, I just hollow out the...

    Are flintlock hammers hardened?

    Jerry, perhaps 1/3 of human beings can smell some form of Cyanide. It smells like "Bitter Almonds" to most of those that can. But I certainly agree that it is DEADLY. Hydrogen Cyandide (and Cyanogen Cloride) bonds with Oxygen on the molecular level. So even if you are still breathing, you...
