    Lock question

    Thank you all for the suggestions. The rifle shoots great despite me. I've even placed in a 50 yard target match with it. I will try the handling discipline methods, and also try to tighten up the gap between the frizzen and pan. My FIL may have just cut off the drum and cut a slot in it for a...

    Lock question

    There is sentimental value to this gun, so i would like to make it work right. Would it be possible to put a different lock into it?

    Lock question

    54ball, I just had the lock out of it, to replace the touch hole liner, and there was nothing in there. I took the lock out and put a light behind it and i can see light between the frizzen and the pan. First picture is the slight gap between them second is the backside of the lock. I should add...

    Lock question

    Sorry for doubling up on the photos! I don't know which model the rifle is or the lock manufacturer. It does look like its tight all around except In the rear towards the lock,1st picture, and along the barrel at the flash hole. I've only used 3f in the pan, should I be using courser powder? As...

    Lock question

    When I prime my pan, the powder "leaks" out, even while sitting on stand. Should the frizzen close tightly on the pan, and if so how would I make that happen? Thanks in advance. Kenny

    Lead or Leather to hold the flint

    Thanks for all the replies! Will stick with leather as that's what I have been using, and it has worked so far. I am going to keep it wrapped, I like the way it looks, WAYYYY different than everyone else. What good is an empty weapon? And, I drive a Ford... Later, Kenny

    Lead or Leather to hold the flint

    Sounds like leather is the way to go. What thickness do most use? i have a few different kinds. I don't know what brand of rifle it is, it isn't new and has been covered with rawhide. Here's pics of the rifle and it's lock. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kenny

    Lead or Leather to hold the flint

    New guy here. I've had a flinter for a few years now and have used leather to hold the flint and have seen lead used. Which is a better option? Thanks for your time. Kenny

    Stock Building question

    Thanks for the input fellas. Both the wood and gun have some family history so that sparked the idea of putting them together. Glad to hear it has been done before, More "pondering" may be nescessary as this would be my first attempt at building a stock. Again, thanks for the tips! Later, Kenny

    Stock Building question

    Ok, here it goes. I have a line on some 1" thick Pecan wood that is long enough for a stock for my Jukar long rifle. I really dont care for for the split stock with the brass plate it has on it right now so am wondering if anyone has laminated 1" boards together to make a stock out of? Second...
