    Hammer gets stuck on the half cock: diagnosis?

    First question is: Does the lock work off the gun? If not, the half ‘cock’ notch needs to be relieved a bit to allow the sear to clear that part of the tumbler. If the lock does work off the gun some wood may need to be removed to allow the trigger to push the sear further upward. As @The Crisco...

    “Dry ball”

    Welcome to the non-exclusive club! Those really pointy collared ball extractors from Track O’ das Woof work very well. Do not use anything that is not collared to your correct caliber size and always use a strong non-wood range rod to remove a dry or stuck ball. Removing the nipple and putting...

    Addiction recovery ?

    And never, never sell anything to acquire another ‘new to you’ item that sends a projectile down range. You might decide later you now need to repurchase it with an identical item at a higher price. I’m afraid I know from experience. Very sad indeed.

    Addiction recovery ?

    Your plight reminds me of a story. Atwood Kent was a notable inventor, manufacturer and became very wealthy during the golden age of radio in the early to middle 1900’s. The story goes something like this… On his deathbed, surrounded by family and his clergy, he exclaimed his only regret was...

    Addiction recovery ?

    We’ve got to separate needs from wants. If you truly do not ‘need’ there is no problem, no addiction. Wants are something else! If you’ve got the money, go for it. We only have one this one chance in life to really enjoy our hobbies. My brother’s wife asked him how many muzzleloaders do you...

    FOR SALE Kentucky pistol

    I will still suggest that the hammer may very well be mounted in the wrong position on the tumbler. However, since I am apparently gossiping instead of trying to assist I’ll just shut up now. Snoot

    FOR SALE Kentucky pistol

    Just a thought… the hammer screw is slightly buggered suggesting the hammer may have been removed. Start with the hammer in the full cock position as your photo shows. If you can remove the screw and the hammer, rotate the hammer back 1/4 turn from where it was mounted , put it back on the...

    Kibler fowler, a couple of photos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    And a dang beautiful job of it too. Well done, very artistic, and just the right amount to compliment a fine flintlock.

    Which is historically correct, precut patches or cut at muzzle?

    Looks like the gent on the far left has his trusty Thompson/Center Hawken. Looks like they just might be historically correct after all! 😄

    Poor man’s guns

    Washington DC, is definitely not a state but rather a state of confusion. I was born there but long gone from there. Some years ago when purchasing a firearm from Cabelas, I encountered a problem picking which state I was born in. Washington DC was not in the list. The clerk told me to select...

    Pedersoli Brown Bess ?’s

    Obviously my “tongue in cheek” comment went completely over your irrational, judge-mental head. The founding fathers were willing to face death to rebel against their perceived “oppression”. One man’s patriot is another’s enemy. Living at the time when all these things unfolded gives that person...

    Pedersoli Brown Bess ?’s

    Now I learned something today! Any idea of approximate numbers of the Long Land Pattern in the colonies at the outset of the war? Were these mostly housed in militia armories? Did private citizens have these as well? Thanks for the information. Snoot
