    new lock not usre what to buy

    Ok...I've done some studying and the angle of the hammer is indeed off by more than 10 degrees. The hammer needs to be bent and pulled back. I think your last posts confirmed it for me JD. Thanks you very much for all the help. Have you ever done this to a hammer? I also have to wonder (as you...

    new lock not usre what to buy

    Just to clarify a bit...I'm using black english flint and am very good at knapping them. I am using a tiny little flint with a notch cut into the back. I'm using a lead pad on top and below the flint....and sliding the flint back against the screw. It seems the angle of the flint in relation to...

    new lock not usre what to buy

    The lock on the gun now does not spark well. It seems the hammer angle is wrong or something. The frizzen may also be a tad too soft. I'm probably getting 2 ignitions out of 10 tries. I'm using quality flint. The problem is that the flint is just against the frizzen at half cock...it tries to...

    TC Firestrom

    I really like mine and have taken several deer with it. It goes off well, is light to carry and performs flawlessly. I use 100grs of FFg and a 240gr pistol bullet with a T/C sabot.

    Most Dangerous Tool?

    Mine would have to be the fleshing machine. 9,000 inches of razor sharp steel every minute. Pass anything over it and it's gone. Once cut a large portion of my left palm off. It just felt warm and I knew what had just happened. Got a hollow spot just behind my thumb to remind me to respect it...

    Knapping

    Find someone in your area that hunts arrowheads. They can tell you where there are native american campsites. You will find flint there in quantity. Look for the higher quality chunks and learn to knap an edge on it. If you get lucky you might even find some arrowheads. Just another way to enjoy...

    Knapping

    Flint knapping....I use a pointed deer antler and pressure flake removal system. Hold your flint in a scrap of leather and use the deer antler to force flakes of flint off.You will need to angle the antler and use a fair amount of force to remove material from the flint. It takes quite a bit of...
