A Farmingdale NY, Model 100 (stamped on the barrel), #2 Sporter in .54, 30" barrel. Read somewhere that Wolfgang Droege only made six of these, not sure how true that is.The final step in preparing the distressed barrel was to sand it down using various grits of sand paper, from 100 down to 220. Step two was to clean/de-grease the surface thoroughly and plug the muzzle and touch hole. Then I applied cold browning solution. I use the stuff from Dixie because it works very well.Thanks, Spence. :hatsoff: That is exactly the table that I was looking for. My revolver seems to have no date marks on it anywhere. It has the two proof marks and the letters PN but nothing else other than the serial number. :idunno: I know it of recent manufacture since Pietta began making this particular model only in recent years. :hmm: Thanks for the help.This post is trying to show anyone interested in one method to drill and tap for a TH. If you don't have a drill press and try to tap free hand it could get real ugly. The TH needs to be counter sunk flush with the filed on/in barrel flat. Don't think a newbie can make that happen free hand. JMO.Central pa. Nov 17, 2021. #4. Jim Chambers kits are the best kits I've put together. They require more fitting skills than the Kibler kits but are more easily customized. I've put a number of them together for customers. Chambers locks are the standard that all the rest of the locks in the hobby are measured. BJH.

With a .0865" shim under the arbor I set the cone to cylinder gap at .0015".I've looked around for a bit trying to find one of these, but I haven't had any luck so I'm gonna create my own. I'm gonna take my Traditions Kentucky and cut it down, recrown,etc. Then refit the nose cap, drill and tap the underside of the barrel for it. I know the Tennessee Rifle is a double wedge setup and the Kentucky is a pinned barrel.

The wad serves three purposes. 1) Protects the base of the conical from powder flash which can melt or otherwise deform the base of the conical. This can result in increased leading and reduced accuracy if the base of the conical is melted or deformed. 2) Increased gas-check/sealing.Shoot loose is the term for the frame lengthening in the thin area above the cylinder when speaking of a Remington style gun. For a Colt style it means the cylinder pin that holds the barrel to the frame tends to pull out of the rear frame with heavy loads. Dixie Gun recommends the following loads for the .36 cal:

Oct 18, 2020. #1. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to kill a nice buck with my .54 flintlock using a .530 round ball with a .018 patch over 80 grains of Swiss FFG at about 60 yards.. Although I posted the fact I was blessed with success, I neglected to comment on the sheer power displayed by the round ball I shot.

I used 80 gr. 2F with a t/c 370gr. maxi ball was a very accurate load out of all my 50 cal. t/c muzzleloaders with a 1:48 twist. A 320 gr. t/c maxi ball worked well also. Never had much luck with accuracy with the t/c maxi hunters. The maxi balls have great penetration.I tried blasting it out atleast 10 times it hasn’t moved. I tried the grease gun but the grease went around the minie so that didn’t work. I broke two ball pullers of on the ball, JB welded the last puller into my rod and it still stripped the puller. I took it to a gunsmith with air and pullers and he couldn’t budge it.The recipe I have is this: Stumpy's Moose Snot. Beeswax 2 oz. Castor Oil 8 oz. Murphy's Oil Soap 1 oz.

I have both the flint and percussion. I think the 450-550 price range is more like a value. However, the lock needs attention as the geometry of the original T/C can be improved for more reliable performance. I sent mine out to Cabin Creek Muzzleloaders to be re-worked.

Nashville. Yesterday at 2:03 AM. #1. Hi all, new to the forum, I recently bought my first BP rifle, an original 1861 Springfield artillery rifle. I shot pyrodex in it and had a stuck ball.

Colorado. Feb 22, 2006. #7. It's my understanding that Jack farmed out some of the work on these rifles. I personally know a gunsmith who did some of the work. But, Jack supervised and still has his name, and reputation, involved. I wouldn't hesitate one minute to own one of the West Virginia University rifles.

Kevin Houlihan said: There’s a ton of room for the rear lock bolt. The bolt will screw into the bolster to the rear of the screw that attaches the bolster to the plate.

Always work/file on the sight (cheapest part) not the barrel. It for some reason the sight is loose, use a solid brass drift and hammer straight down just in front and to the rear of the sight.

Location. Texas. May 8, 2020. #1. These precision made tools are the preferred way to cone the muzzles of roundball guns either rifled or smoothbore. Greatly eases starting the ball and the long cone allows the ball to be gently swaged into the bore without damage. I believe accuracy is unchanged.Obsidian is a volcanic glass. It tends to shatter like glass. While flint, agate, etc are 7 on Moh's hardness scale, obsidian is only 5. BTW stainless steel is also around 5 on the same scale. A good frizzen may actually be harder than obsidian. When I was studying this, we used a stainless steel watch back to test this.
