Fun with a blanket gun

[randyt]

I recently picked up a Northstar blanket gun from Rob M. Rob is great to deal with, gun as described and he is a fast shipper.

I picked this up for having fun. It's been fun. I may someday put it back together with longarm stock and barrel . In the meantime I'll enjoy it as is.

That one looks like a fun gun!

I would agree, North Star built some good locks. I have a North Star Northwest gun that works like a champ. It is easily as reliable (and fast) as a percussion.

I would agree that mine is as well.

Oh yeah !! Its a dandy lock , sparked SO well . They made great locks . Wish I could buy such locks now for my N.W. guns ...

I liked the short barreled northwest guns that Northstar had. I believe they were the blanket gun barrel in a full length stock. They looked handy to me, and fun to carry and shoot.

Is it me? or does it look like some powder gonna spill out of that pan?.

Probably just the angle of light. I built a couple hundred guns for NSW, all had well fit frizzens.

No, that pan is Definitely open. Maybe a little bit of oiling or a slight turnback on the Frizzon screw

I see what you are talking about. I would need to hear from Rob on that. He specializes in trade guns, I couldn't imagine him letting one out of the shop like that. I worked with enough NSW locks, I really doubt there is a gap. I suspect the lock may be over tightened, allowing interference of the frizzen with the barrel.

I just looked at it. Looks tight to me.

He was commenting on your photo, where the frizzen isn't completely closed.

I know but when I looked at it in my gunrack It is tight so I'm thinking there might have been some debis holding the frizzen up a bit in the original photo. The photo I posted in this thread
