    Barrel pitting

    Jaymo, it is in fact a Damascus barrel. The more I look at this barrel, the more I think it will be ok. The worst of the pitting is about half way down, but the inside of the chamber and the rest of the inside of the barrel looks good for being 120+ years old.

    Barrel pitting

    Mustanger, I have thought about cleaning the pits and tig welding over the area. I know barrels that have been demilled have been "fixed" by threaded plug and weld.

    How Fast Does A Flintlock Fire

    I watched this clip for about 10 minutes. If you concentrate on the middle of the barrel, you can just see the smidge of delay between the flint spark and recoil. Nice video!

    Barrel pitting

    At what point do you give up on a pitted barrel? Is there a way to fix the pitting, other than liner? When I say pitting, I'm talking about pitting on the outside of the barrel.

    1851 "Fake" Navy De-Farb & Antiquing Project - Final Phase Complete

    Thanks for the tips. It quit raining here and I took some pics of mine out in the daylight. I think they used something to make the case color shiny. Maybe a clear coat of something. If you look real close at the frame you can see spray marks(?).

    NC: Clayton man to test law, bring machine gun to store

    Good on this guy for challenging the "unwritten" law. It will end up in court and I hope he wins. Reading the article: The increasing number of thefts of firearms is very disturbing," Mitchell said. "(Weapon storage) is something the sheriff needs to satisfy himself of. Deputies aren't as...

    I like the look of the brown. I have never tried it, but I am going to Gander Mountain today to get some. I want to give it a try and maybe throw a holster in the mix for some wear marks. Pistol looks great Joe!

    BP barrel and crown ?'s
