Pistol kit or nice barrel
« 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.

I will add one for Muzzleloader Builders Supply. They have a nice selection of European pistol parts.
