    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    One thing I noticed right away, is the relation of screw’s part that contacts the top jaw. They’re at different angles! Take it apart and weld the hole in the top jaw and drill it at the proper angle then re-install.

    sherwood park trail

    He should be around. The weather is crappy. We were supposed to go “ pensioning off” some gophers whenever the weather improved; with flinters. Quality not quantity.

    sherwood park trail

    I’d do the same but I have pistols and in order to take them to shoots I need to belong to some range (damn Canadian Laws!). I joined the Smoky Lake Club/Range. It’s a little cheaper and no course/entry requirements. I just saw Tassi a few minutes ago at a meeting. He’s a life member at Sh.Pk...

    sherwood park trail

    It’s about the same situation with a bunch of us: some joined Camrose, some joined Tofield and I joined Algonquin Shooting Sports out at Smoky Lake. Management over a the Sh.Pk. Range ideas differed from ours and most of us BP shooters left.

    Missouri Chert Flint verses English Flint. Which is more reliable ?

    That reminds of something I had heard years ago. A guy was visiting a friend who was living off grid somewhere in Nothern California. I guess he noticed the material that his friend was using for a rock in his flintlock. Upon questioning on how they sparked and then on what size was the original...

    Bending a hammer

    Use a box wrench to bend the hammer. It’s a little more precise.

    What the heck

    If it’s CVA; be careful with replacement of the drum. When they manufactured the rifle; their drum screwed right into the barrel and breechplug. Then a long drill was inserted into the barrel and drilled out a hole for ignition to travel from the nipple through the drum and into the bore. There...

    brass springs?

    There is a remote possibility of making a spring of sorts out of brass. With working with copper or brass; to soften (annealing) it a person would heat it and quench it in water. As the metal is worked/hammered; it would harden and eventually become brittle. The opposite happens with high carbon...

    Replacing gold inlay?

    I haven’t used it for years. It sure prettie’s up engravings. It was way back in my gun finishing stuff.

    Replacing gold inlay?

    I went down to my “Man Cave” and dug out this stuff. I used years and years ago. Where it came from; possibly Brownells? The battery is just for size comparison.

    Dangers of Touch Hole Picks

    I use oxy acetylene torch cleaning tips. They’re blunt on one end and a nice little loop on the other to tie a small leather thong.

    Rendezvous?

    Probably; I’ve been with the EHB ever since it was conjured up by a bunch of us rag tag living history black powder shooting individuals. Most of the original members are gone now. I still do a little bit of blacksmithing now and then. I think you were the guy that would show up at the shoot...

    Rendezvous?

    With a number of changes with the Sherwood Park Fish & Game Association shooting range and it’s new administration; a number of us decided that in our best interest was to leave and join other clubs and ranges. There will be no black powder shoots being held there unless someone wants to take it...
