My wife found a .44 cal 'Kentuckian' flintlock pistol by Intercontinental Arms and bought it for me! But I need a frizzen screw.
The problem is I cannot find any info on it. Where can I get parts?
I have tried Dixie and Taylors but at this point no luck.
Can anyone help out???? :idunno: :surrender:
 
Take the lockplate to the hardware store and try their various metric threaded screws till you find one that fits. Then you know the thread size. Might be able to find something there that with a poor mans lathe (electric drill and file) you can make work or call Dixie again with the thread size length and shank diameter and they may be able to help you. A factory replacement part is probably non existant.
 
You received good advice on the frizzen screw.
You can probably find a screw that will work without a problem.

As for buying a factory screw your pretty much out of luck. Intercontinental Arms Inc has been out of business for years.

Here is what Major George Nonte in "Shooter's Bible BLACK POWDER GUIDE" said about it back in 1969:

"INTERCONTINENTAL ARMS INC.: This firm imports a variety of single-action revolvers and derringer pistols from Italy--all metallic cartridge arms. In addition, however, it brings in a wide variety of muzzleloading guns or modern manufacture, both flint and percussion. This firm makes no wild claims, saying simply that its guns are good buys for the prices charged. That is the way I've found them to be.

In addition to both handguns and long guns, Intercontinental distributes a line of muzzle-loading accessories ...."

Of your pistol the book goes on to say:
"KENTUCKIAN: Traditional style Kentuckian percussion pistol in .44 caliber. Octagonal 9 1/2" barrel; 15 1/4 " long; 38 oz., weight; walnut full stock wit brass furniture; color hardened lock; blued barrel, takes No. 11 caps.
Also available in flintlock style at same price, .44 caliber; about 2 oz. heavier.
Both versions available in fitted case with nipple wrench, mold, flask, and cutout to hole a 1-lg. can of black powder."

This importer also imported a Kentucky rifle in .44 caliber calling it a Kentuckian.
The flintlock version was my first muzzleloader.
