Of course there are no "flintlock" gunsmiths around...at least no smith that advertises as such. 99% of competent smiths can do a glas job for you. AcraGlas...
If you are going to pay $700 for a used flintlock, look into new flintlocks from Tennessee Valley Muzzleloaders (TVM). They have a website. They custom make...

I might as well put my two cents worth in also. First, check out the Track of the Wolf website. They always have guns for sale, most are custom made....
... The wait from TVM is 5 - 6 months unless they have already built a gun that is close to what you want - they usually have several of each model with...
Been doing a lot of sanding...about to start 220. One thing about sanding is it gives you time to think. One thought I have had is , this kit is pretty easy....
I shot my flintlock for the first time today. Awsome. The first shot scared the daylights out of me. I think I had talked myself into the thing wouldn't...
Scott: All us BP shoters have a powder problem in that Retailers can't really carry it. They don't sell enough to be able to justify the special "explosives"...
Hehe, reminds me of my first time as well. After firing both percussion and flint, I must say I prefer the flint. I just enjoy the flash of the pan, although...
I must be one of the lucky ones then. The local shooting store carries everything from 2f to 4f powder. I don't know that he carries much 1f in stock, but I...

Mike, Is the wedge still loose when the barrel is in the stock and you push the wedge in? The wood of the stock could put upward pressure on the barrel at the...
Morning Kees, Well, I'm getting close...I put the first coat of linsed oil on the stock yesterday. It's purtty. A few more hours on the Barrel and I'll be...
Think firing blanks from a black powder gun. How do you do it? We need a solution for 4th of July to promote the event and BP's contribution. Do we use wax...
Hey Dennis, I have a cannon I made that I shoot with pyrodex and black powder. It's 12" long with a 1/2" bore. I use a 44mag case full of powder and papertowel...
Dennis, My group shoots blanks at a lot of events. Most safety folks will tell you not to use anything that can become a projectile and a wax ball would...
All reenactor groups fire blanks - you make a paper cartridge - pour the appropriate amount of powder into a rolled paper tube, twist and fold the ends and you...
Thanks I finally phoned by buddy Dick Murray, Pres. of the Ft. Sutter Muzzleloaders club and his advice is very close to yours! I can't wait to try it at...
For those following the progress of the pistols Gary and I are building... They are finally finished. Today I blued both of them using a Nitre blue (fire...
On the subject of blanks, I have heard about putting steel wool down the barrel on top of the powder charge. It gives off a good pyrotechnic effect. This is...
You folks might want to go to the following URL again and scroll down to the bottom. This will show you something of the bluing process that is the same as...
