    JP Beck Silver mounted Pistol

    Something I wanted to do for awhile, was recreate the JP Beck Pistol. It was a fun little project adorned in sterling silver. It is not a bench copy but as close as I could get with hardware I could find. Trigger is forged. Barrel is a Bobby Hoyt .50, the lock is old stock Hollenbaugh/Ditchburn...

    Video of Rifles at the Revolutionary WAR museum

    That’s half the reason I film these visits, lets people share the experience a little bit, and hopefully motivate them to go see it for themselves.

    Sandcasting Flintlock Parts

    I been working on this project for sometime now. Taking original JP Beck hardware and having it digitally scanned to .001mm I then had it 3D printed to .01mm tolerances in plastic. Those 3D models were scaled to account for brass shrinkage and clean up. I made the cope and drag from some...

    There’s a video of it on YouTube. I always hate when you finish it you really see where you should have scraped more and cleaned up more.

    That’s always the challenge right! I trace along the barrel with a 1/16 bit and pencil and then work it down to the line.
