    Help Identify Pistols

    Some more pics. I picked these up at a Indian artifact auction but don't know much about them. The matched pair look to have been originally flintlocks. The flintlock has a brass lock which I haven't seen before. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Trent

    had a brain fart

    I am building a Dickert kit from track and yesterday I drilled the hole in barrel for vent liner. I went to tap the threads and noticed that I needed to drill a little deeper and remove just a little of the end of the breech plug so I could run the tap a little deeper. Well I didnt have my stop...
