    Staining a pistol kit

    Hello, I am ready to stain the wood on my kit and need some help. The wood is walnut, the stain I have Colonial Maple. I am trying, or as close as possible, to match a rifle with maple stock. Should I be the maple stain on Walnut or is there a better suggestion. Thanks, Firedanse

    Flintlock Pistol Kits

    So, this sounds like something I can actually do. I'm looking forward to starting. Anyone ever try to fly with one of these kits in their baggage? I'm headed to Florida to spend time with the folks and am taking the project with me. My guess it's not something they would let me carry on...

    Flintlock Pistol Kits

    Hi again. Tell me about these files I need. I'm getting to understand the sandpaper side of it. I tend to jump into things so am trying to line up the ducks before I get started. Do it right the first time. I'll go to the suggested supplementary sites too. Firedanse

    Pistol Kits

    Well, yes, based on a recommendation I was looking at Pecatonica for a kit. As I said, they have the curly maple to match the existing rifle. So, let me ask, what takes so much time (ie. 150+ hours)? I don't want to get into something that I am over my head. I had wanted the "homemade"...

    Pistol Kits

    This is great information! I've been looking into stock information. Anyone familiar with the different grades of curly maple? That is the stock of the gun I am trying to match (mind you, without actually seeing the rifle). THe premium grade has "extra curl". Need more information on this...

    Pistol Kits

    Okay, this sounds like something I can do. Sand paper, files, screwdrivers. All things any well equiped woman has in her tool box. It also sounds as if I get stuck, there is help out there. Thanks.

    Pistol Kits

    I would like to assemble a Kentucky pistol for a Christmas Gift. Can anyone suggest where I might find one, at a reasonable price, that is easy for a beginner to put together? Prices on line are of considerable range and I am not sure what I should be looking for. Advice is welcome.
