Blackhorse, this subject has been discussed at pretty great length here and I believe the answer has always been that Pecatonica produces some very good quality supplies. Every time I have ever called, **** (I believe he is the owner) or his helper answered and was very helpful in answering my questions. I give them two thumbs up! :thumbsup: :redthumb:

I am planning on upgrading my TC Renegade stock to a full stock grade 3 maple soon through them. They seem to be helpfull and a lot of the people here have some great pics of their stocks and guns from them. :thumbsup:

I got what I paid fro when I ordered their parts. They are a supplier of wood to Track
All but two of these were built using Pecatonica River Stocks.
They have always shipped everything I've ordered and have been more than happy to talk on the phone about any and all questions I have ever asked.
A top notch company IMO.

Strider, Woodsman 1757: Ask and ye shall recieve:
This picture shows the guns in the same relative position, but with the locks up:
These are, from left to right, Boys Squirrel Rifle (.36 cal), Transitional Kentucky (.54 cal), "A Southern?" (.50 cal), Reading Co. (.45 cal), Early Lancaster (.50 cal), Late Lancaster (.50 cal), Bedford Co (.45 cal), Franklin Co (.50 cal).
riverrat 43, the second one from the bottom (second from the left in this view) is a Pecatonica River Transitional Kentucky with a Davis Jaeger lock and a Getz Swamped .54 cal barrel.
The one with the checkered wrist is a Late Lancaster inspired by Fordney. He had a thing for skip checkering. He also liked to have an area of exposed wood between his patchbox and the side moldings.
There are old posts in the Photo section showing each one of these, and giving a description of the gun and of my thoughts when I built them. Set the little search box at the bottom of the Photo Post listing window to search back for 1 year and you will find them.
As I mentioned, all but two of these are built with stocks from Pecatonica River. Some of the stocks were modified a bit to make the gun more like the one that inspired it.
The two who are not from Pecatonica are the third from the left (Vernon C. Davis & Co) and the Fordney (TVM).
I usually don't buy the "Kit" because I want to pick out the exact trigger guard, butt plate, lock, barrel, etc but **** Greensides is most obliging with sending my exactly what I want, if he has it. If he doesn't have it, I order from TOTW, TVM, or Susie at Muzzleloaders Builders Supply.
Your looking at about 8 years of my hobbys output in this picture. (I'm SLooooooooooW).

Is it just the lighting or are the second and third ones from the right female guns? :: They seem have some wierd kinda thing sticking up where the pan should be.
As the moderator of the Precussion Forum, and a Time Traveler, I have to tell you that those strange things that are sticking up on the guns on the right are called Precussion Hammers.
They are used to pound a magic copper cap that sets of the powder in an instant.
Yes, the Hammer will replace the old fashioned **** and will never again be struck with a sharp rock. ::
No flints to knap, no pans to prime and get wet, wind doesn't effect it!! ::
You should shield your eyes when you look at these guns because your looking into the future!!
I predict that someday, all of the new guns will have this ingenious device on it instead of the old fashoned flint and it's primer pan!! :: ::
I further predict that people will be draging in their old Flintlocks and asking for ::this new miracle to be installed on their guns!!!!:: ::
(Before you start throwing things, note that most of these are Flintlocks!

Is these the beginin' of the thin's what made poor 'ol RollinB blind? Evil i says. pure evil. Next thi' ya know they will puttin' the hammer right Inline with the center of the barrel. Lordy, lordy, what's the world a comin' to?
Zonie..nice explanation. Howsome ever, I figure it's a religious thing. If the Good Lord wanted me to use percussion caps, why, I reckon the river beds and stream beds would be full of them for the takin'!
