The American Flintlock Pistol

[Hood]

Has anyone here built or shot one of Jim Chambers The American Flintlock Pistols?

I'm interested in purchasing one, but would first like to hear any experiences that others might have had building/shooting it.

Thanks

Have done 2 they are ok, inletting leaves a lot to be desired, had mismatched parts, and the lock and tang screws had to be replaced as the ones sent couldnt be used at all, front site slots were milled but i had the do both rear sites, ordered steel and was sent brass furniture, stocks had lots of dings and dents but nuthing that couldnt be removed,
Rice barrels are always good and the siler locks work ok, one lock had a flint and one didnt,
It does turn out to be a good very accurate shooting pistol, no complaints once its done
Takes a bit of work but end result is good

I did one several years ago.  It went together well and for an early effort it looks great.  Fun to shoot.  The lock works just fine, but I polish all the interior bearing surfaces to smooth operation on all my locks.  Mine was well worth the money.
