I got the Committee of Safety musket completed yesterday. After staining I drilled the escutcheon for a wood screw and replaced the two middle rammer thimbles with simple brass tubes. I also reshaped the rammer head to more of a trumpet shape. While there were a few small hiccups along the way...

I got the stock reshaped and am just waiting for the stain to dry. I used a rasp, files, and sandpaper to reshape the stock nose, foregrip swell, lock plate finials, and beaver tail. I then lightly sanded and restained the whole stock. I also used a small dowel to plug the hole for the orginial...

I think it's just the light and the angle the photo was taken at. The stock reshaping is done, I just need to sand and re-stain it next weekend

Good afternoon, I figured I would document my attempt at turning a Pedersoli Bess into a Committee of Safety musket. Aside from a Jukar derringer kit, I haven't done much gunsmithing, so this will certainly be a challenge. I purchased this Bess used back in 2015 and it was my first flintlock...

I have several Ubertis and one Pietta manufactured in the early 20-teens and I can't really spot a difference in quality. All had some minor issues, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

Evening all, I've been into black powder shooting on and off for about 10 years now. I'm primarily interested in 20th century milsurp firearms and reenacting, but when it comes to live fire stuff black power is by far the most fun! I have a repro brown bess and m1842 Springfield as well as some...
