One last post and I'll be quiet for the rest of the week!
I have a Traditions Kentucky .50 cal flintlock kit (the one with the
broken frizzen now) and I'm attempting to put the stock together. It's
in 2 pieces, and I have the pins that I put through the barrell tangs,
but I also have a piece of brass with 3 holes in it. It is about 6
inches long and 1/2 inch wide, and 1/10 inch thick. I think it goes
under the barrel, but it doesn't have any screws with it, and if I did
put it in, the ramrod wouldn't go into the hole unless I sheared off the
screws. It seems there needs to be more holding the 2 pieces of the
stock together. Hopefully the frizzen can be welded back together in
time to actually shoot the thing.
In any case, if anyone out there has any experience with these, I'd
appreciate the help.
