Where to buy parts
« on: March 28, 2014, 07:25:23 AM »
Besides Track of the wolf and Dixie, where else could I get parts and supplies for building and shooting BP.
I currently live in Norfolk/Chesapeake, VA if anyone knows a place here.

Two in the UK when/if you can't find it here.  Oh, Blackley normally comes to the annual Baltimore Antique Gun Show:

I'm also in the Norfolk area. 
Stonewall Creek and Dunlap (gunstock blanks and kits) will both be at the Williamsburg gun show this weekend.  I would strongly recommend you attend if you can.

For all but the few "lucky ones" that live close to one of the "very few" suppliers, most of us are relegated to mail order.

The suppliers listed above are all well established and trustworthy. I would add Cain's Outdoors (in W.Va) to the list since they were overlooked.

I have dealt with a number of the suppliers listed and I'm ordering from Canada. Have never had an issue, parts were always exactly as ordered, and even with customs delays my shipping times have been "quick".

Ryan is pleasure to deal with and is also a skilled craftsman so he is not just a parts vendor. I watched him form a brass pistol butt cap from sheet with amazing ease at our Guild's Fair a couple of years ago. Impressive. He attends our Fair and passes on knowledge at no cost.
If he has what I need this is where I buy it.
But I buy from many sources. TOW is great if they have what I need. Chambers, The Hawken Shop, Dixon's , Dunlap, Harrison Gunstocks (really really nice curly maple buttstock for a wender I am trying to get shaped right now), Knob Mountain. There is a very long list of places to get really good parts and even specialty work done when needed. Knob Mountain has a large number of patterns that they will cut into a shaped buttstock etc. Dave Race will cut barrel channels and rod channels and holes. I just got a GM barrel in that was recut from 54 to 62 with a 48" twist by Ed Rayle.
