    Refinish A .45 Caliber CVA Colonial Pistol.

    I believe it is a Colonial. I built it over 25 years ago so I could be mistaken. Thanks for the kind words.

    I am looking for some History on Percussion Rifles

    I am about to start building a 50 Cal. Traditions Kentucky Rifle kit. It is percussion and I am wondering when the Kentucky Rifle made the transition from Flint Lock to Percussion?? Or is that just a marketing ploy established when kit manufacturing became a "Thing"???
