Black Powder Shooting / Re: Chunk gun shoot

This is how target shooting was done up north.  They did not lie on their bellies and shoot over a log like those in the southern highlands did.

Items for Sale/Wanted / Re: WTB 2nd model Brown Bess triggerguard

Hi Dave,
The Bess trigger guard sold by Track of the Wolf is fine for a short land pattern Brown Bess, what you refer to as "second model".  They did not change after the pattern 1742 until the India pattern, what some erroneously call the "3rd Model Brown Bess".  TOW has the guard in stock.

I think both are 8620. Jim and Barbie have posted the alloys used in their locks, but I haven't been able to find them using the Forum's search function. Perhaps you will have better luck.

When I was making locks,8620 was for plates,hammers and top jaws and 52-100 for frizzens (hopefully)This was back when most of my parts came from Jerry Devaudreuil in Wooster Ohio and doing business as International Arms.It worked well and I am assuming the foundry DID honor the request.Log Cabin now owns all his moulds and maybe left over parts.This has nothing to do with Jam and Barbie Chambers parts but may give an idea as to the variety of materials that can be used,
