I have found musket caps at shows for $20 per 100.
There is a YouTuber that made them , drilling a hole in a piece of wood. He used disposable turkey pan for the metal and an appropriate size wooden dowel to press it into the hole.
Metal was pre cut and trimmed after shaping.
Check out his website or gallery photos. The smr is up to a 45 and colonial start at 50.
Visually the wr and colonial are similar, the colonial having a larger profile and longer barrel.
I purchased one of these as a completed rifle .previous owner was a competitive shooter. There was also a complete kit available at the Log Cabin event last fall.
Mine has what appears to be an original patent breach blended to barrel contour .
Not sure what you guys are looking at but the bolster threads need recut. They were definitely cross threaded and now torn.
Find the next size up and drill&tap to proper size.
If the idea of different types of wood glued together do not work for you, try the same species. Maybe the lumber store has multiple pieces from the same log in stock. Just try to line up the grain.
I passed on a cva percussion 12 gauge double. It was like new and unfired. Anguished over it till buying a pedersoli double flint in 20 gauge.
There is just something about a sxs shotgun.
Not a flintlock but a hoot to shoot.
Original calvary carbine Enfield.
Took to Two mile run park at one of the Muzzleloader Maniac’s events and we were shooting balloons. Let anyone that wanted to shoot it.
