Runar:  Due to a too thick web on a precarved stock, I had to lower a ramrod channel 5mm.  I used your drill for a router trick, and it worked great.  The only warning is that the bit tries to grab the curl on maple.  Have to be careful or the bit will jump and run.  Great idea.  Thanks.

Hi All! and thank you JJ :)
The original frizzen have halvsole hard solder to frizzen. But I use the easy way, reading here http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=15471.0 and in Muzzleloader March/April 2011 By Robert Mims and Fred Stutzenberger (Sole Food for Frizzens) So here is phothos, and its sparks like $#*! ;)

Looks beautiful Runar! ;)

Imagine if this was a real Kongsberg produced musket it would be worth $10 000 or more! Info on the M1829 and images of the only know original flintlock M1829 can be found here: http://kvf.no/vaapen.php?type=Rifle&weaponid=RIF0007  :)

That is an amazing amount of work, and the quality is superb! The next time I think building a kit gun is difficult I will have to remember this!
