    Barrel life

    I have to assume you have some 12L14 to machine yourself? I have made many smooth bore 'toy' barrels. Just a plain rod with a threaded breach plug, strapped to a 'carriage' or even 2 x 4. Drill a hole for cannon fuse and BAM- instant fun!! Brass, bronze, stainless, 12L14, all sorts of stuff...

    Kentucky rifle 2 piece stock mod suggestions

    I actually tried a week ago to find a pic of that rifle, got only chaff and internet / google misses. I'm currently playing with some aquafortis, so I may get a good striping to help hide the wood shim. I'm old enough to know the short way isn't what I'm looking for. I understand the beech...

    Kentucky rifle 2 piece stock mod suggestions

    Hi all, 1st post. I've been visiting awhile and finally joined. You guys have so much more than the other forums, it was an easy choice. I have seen it mentioned several times but my question is: What to do with the brass joiner plate on the CVA / Traditions Kentucky rifle? Blacken it...
