    Best traditional ML for a small lady?

    New kit progressing nicely!

    Okay, sounds good. I finished all the metal parts today, including dovetailing for the barrel lugs, and, yes, even the sight dovetails. They really aren't any big deal, and I can't describe the sense of accomplishment I have looking at my finished dovetails! Now it's on to finish sanding and...

    Newbie questions

    Newbie questions

    I got the "classic Golden Age longrifle" in left hand. I am feeling alittle better today, got the butt plate fit and the trigger assembly/trigger guard inletted too. Also got my first injury on the job, inletting chisel slipped and almost took half of my finger off. So I'm taking it easy today...

    Newbie questions

    Wife bought me a Track longrifle flint kit for my 40th birthday.. happy birthday to ME! How does one decide where to drill on the lock for the crossbolts which tie it to the escutcheon plate on the other side? This kit has a Siler lock, and I don't see any conveniently predrilled and tapped...
