Muzzleloader patch box

You captivated them. It is truly my favorite. It fits me like an extension of myself. Just wanted to say thanks. You build a great longbow. Killed my first deer with it Wednesday night.

She was an old long nosed doe that I have been playing cat and mouse with since the Sept 29th season opener.

Tim, shot my Feree yesterday. The rifle prints right where I need it to be. Welcome Webmaster T Welcome to Williams Flintlocks.

Available in brass, German silver, or Investment cast steel, clean high quality casting requires assembly and final finish.

Wilt is listed A small, graceful patch box from an unsigned Pennsylvania rifle. Ideal for a light, slim rifle. Authentic Leman design, spring not included. Available in brass or steel. Inlet straight down and remove the bulk of material from under the tab where it joins the thimble sleeve. Work slowly and use inletting black.

When you get close use a piece of ramrod to make sure of the fit, and keep inletting down until the rod slides in clean. Thimble exposure is not determined by what your stock maker provided you.

It is determined by the style first. When you inlet your thimbles the inside diameter must be flush with the bottom of the channel to aid your rod to slide cleanly into the stock. Use 2 pins to prevent thimbles from rocking and always 2 on the entry. Pre-bend the long belly tab slightly just before your final installation so that when you press the thimble into place, it is slightly under pressure when pinned.

This will aid to hold that tab up beneath the belly of the lower forestock. After attaching your buttplate and rough filing to the shape of your buttstock, determine your lower flat width by the exposure on the sides of the lower triggerguard rail. Fit your toeplate, attach, and file the edges with the wood.

When filing and shaping metal and wood simultaneously, always file from the wood to the metal. Otherwise shards may be transferred and damage your stock. Never pry or force lift a metal fitted part if its surface is below the wood. Always file metal flush with the wood surface first!

When choosing a thread size, consider whether the option may exist to switch between percussion and flintlocks of the same plate size.

The latest stocks available through MBS are made to be used for a variety of schools of rifle. To keep up the quality, on our large combination of stock style and size, we have our stock shop process your orders when you order Expect as much as 4 to 6 weeks for delivery during the busy winter months. Heat slowly with propane or map gas torch until flux starts to liquefy and get slightly dis-colored.

Apply a small amount of solder to the part or parts, letting the heated part melt the solder Do NOT apply the flame directly to the solder. Allow the solder to solidify, then rinse the 'tinned' parts with water while still hot, then allow to cool. Heat the heaviest part away from the solder joint and allow the heat to melt the solder. Again, do NOT put the flame directly on the solder joint.

If you allow the parts to cool completely without rinsing, you will need to use a wire brush and water to scrub off the flux. This new bedding compound is unlike the old Microbed product which is no longer available in that it can be used for structural applications where MicroBed could not. An epoxy product draws a healthy line between a metal part and the wood and is structurally sound for use around the breech. For building a gun which you want to last as long as possible with good outdoor use and stand up to normal abuse, its use is an excellent practice.

It will stop the moisture sweat which accumulates behind a metal part mounted in the wood from entering the wood, which causes the wood to mildew and subsequently degrade. It is not for purists, since it is not authentic. For those who want the best of both worlds, use sparingly and it will never be seen under normal circumstances. PRO-Bed Use at the breech for strengthening, underneath permanent and semi-permanent inlays for inlet edges which are tattered or not a good fit, sideplates of locks and patchboxes where a large area may not be inlet level below the part, or where an inlet has been put too deep and the surface and needs minimal raising.

This product is structural; meaning that it will stand up to shock underneath or beside the barrels breech, or in locations under stress such as wood screws, lock or tang screws. Use it with confidence, to fix irregular edges of inletting, and to stop moisture penetration! It is offered in a deep brown color, mixes equally one to one and hides well. Full cure overnight with 1 hour workability. Soft margarine consistency. Complete kit has release agent, stirring sticks, brush, thickening agent; everything you need!

Comes in two wide mouth 2 ounce tubs for easy access. This stuff is easy to use and is very good. Acra Glass is a most underrated product. Acra Glass serves two major purposes. It was initially designed as a repair epoxy. It has fiberglass in it. The second purpose is the bedding of barrels. It provides such a stable solid and structural platform for your barrel that it has been proven as an accurizing product for serious competition shooters.

We offer two types of Acra Glass.
