Ask yourself the same question you would about a good looking gal.
Looks good, how well does it work ?

I have a Chambers PA Fowler in the works and will need something to carry shot in….it was just a little more then I would like to spend….maybe I will go back for better pics and see if he will come down.

Yep, all he can say is no. But they usually have at least 10% to work with for cash.

Super idea!!!
Links below for the interested:


2" ball from Amazon - they have other diameters available if you so want.

1 1/4" iron nipple at Lowes - other sized also available

BUD i like that idea, might try to copy idea for my m/l.

Ordered a .495 round ball mold, found a local group that does a monthly open sights woods walk that I plan on joining Sunday, and continued doing research on a yet to be determined longrifle build.

Tried to watch some muzzleloader videos this morning. For some strange reason, I’m now thinking I need a vanish holster.

Spent the morning welding an un-needed notch a previous owner filed into the pan on my jukar flintlock and then using the dremmel and various grades of sand paper, I slightly reshaped and polished the pan to a nice shine. Reshaping the pan also helped center up my touch hole. Before and after pictures. Next, when the parts arrive, is to change out the tumbler to one that will accept a bridle and add the bridle. A little work but is a lot cheaper than the the L and R drop in replacement lock.

Nice job awreis.

Nice job awreis.

Thanks. This is my first flintlock. I've had it for a few years and only shot it a hand full of times vefore but in the past year, the blackpowder bug has taken hold so I'm wanting to shoot more. And I love to tinker on stuff so this is a more enjoyable task than just buying a replacement lock.

Picked up some mail today and got my lead meltin spoon that I ordered also got a 50 caliber ball mold that I ordered,
I think this is the first time I've ever had a 50 ball mold,
Still looking for an adapter nipple to shoot 209 primers

Hunted a milk jug today. Need to set up a better system than swing and run. #7 1/2 out of the Fowler did the job.
