Harold, has your friend ever brought his rifle by your shop yet? My curiosity has been aroused.

Al

Small wrenches from Hexhead cap screws is a brilliant idea!! Thanks for posting it. I'll use that idea in the future!!

Al

Made by FN? Does that mean that it is a Browning? If it is, he ought to have no trouble in finding a replacement trigger assembly on line. Has he been able to furnish you with any photos yet??

Al

Are you sure that it is not an Alcohol burner?

Al

Harold, Tell him to try Numerich Arms Corp.

Al

I have not built one----YET, but I'm in the process of making parts and obtaining checks, valves, etc. The old prints I used called for Copper rivets every 1/2 inch and then Silver Soldered. This I intend to do, besides, a neat row of rivets looks sharp, IMHO.

"Google" ought to have a lot of sources of info for making your own barrel and equiptment for making them.

Contact Dixie Gun Works. They have plans and booklets for sale.

Rick, have you picked out a good dry place of safety for Sunday??

His name was Hecker Martin, and I read about him in Ned Robert's book: "The Muzzleloading Caplock Rifle". Sadly, I am afraid it is out of print now, unless it has been reprinted.
