    Brown bess lock problem?

    everything is working fine now. I don't know if what I did was the right way to fix the problem, but it worked. first of all, I cocked the hammer back to full cock and let it ahead to where it was stopping at half cock, and I took the lock off to see if it was catching on the edge of the half...

    Brown bess lock problem?

    everything moves freely until the sear hits the half cock lip and itmoves freely after it clears that edge. you must know what i'm talking about because I thought of the same thing about taking that lip down. It's just a thousandsth. I won't do it till I take it to someone that can give me a...

    Brown bess lock problem?

    I guess I failed to mention I tried backing the screws off. it didn't seem to help. I understand what you mean about not having the use of the trigger with the lock out. it's one of those things you have to see. it's hard for me to explain. it's like there's a small burr or lip that the sear...

    Brown bess lock problem?

    I took the lock off & I think I see the problem. I cocked the hammer all the back & when I let it back down the sear just barely catches the edge of the half cock notch. I pushed on the hammer & it felt just like it did before. I think justmike is right about the trigger travel. if the sear...

    Pa to allow flintlock handgun in late season.

    Those are great groups. Congrats on getting those deer with that pistol. Proof is in the puddin'. Sounds like my kind of huntin', in thick areas. I'd be hard pressed to shot past 50yds.

    Sounds like you had a fun day of shooting! How old is that 10ga? Congrats on your new gun. How well does it shoot buck shot? What size buck shot? I wouldn't mind trying to shoot that stuff.

    Brown bess lock problem?

    I've got a jap. brown bess. When I squeeze the trigger to let the hammer back down out of full cock it stops at half cock. I have to give it a good push to ease it all the way down. There is no problem when I shoot it, just if I try to ease it ahead. I just started shooting so I don't know to...

    Pa to allow flintlock handgun in late season.

    I would have to agre with fusil de chasse. Is there enough velocity/ft lbs. in a flintlock pistol? What's the effective range? I've tried a handgun before and accuracy is tough. Guess it's like anything else, you gotta practice. PA. is probably just looking to get another stamp added to the...
