Title: Pistol kit or nice barrel
Post by: Vestvol on October 24, 2021, 06:57:07 AM

So I have finished my first flintlock and have the bug.i thought I might build a pistol next. I am having trouble finding good hardware etc. Any suggestions? Even a nascent set of plans would be nice. I think that I want to build a Calvary style either French or English circa the American rev.

If you want a "Good" rifled pistol bbl. you can not beat the gun works in Springfield, Or.
