    Pin size question

    I'm worried about the fact that the 4d nail is a little wider than the 5/64 hole.

    Pin size question

    Pin size question

    Greetings from old PA

    It all started as a thought at the end of last hunting season. "I need another excuse to be out in the woods. I should get a flintlock so I can take advantage of some late-season deer hunting." Fast forward to this week, and after weeks of research (including perusing the very helpful archives...
