Hey guys, my newest fostor child arrived from Dixie Gun Works (DGW) via UPS Ground yesterday, and I am really pleased with my new son !!! I am definately going to keep and adopt him !!!
It is a Tennessee 50 Caliber Flintlock Carbine, 24-12" barrel length, and I paid $465.00 for it. Overall, I am very pleased and impressed with the gun, and I outfitted it with a flint and test fired the frizzen flash right away. The lil guy fires reliably and easily, however, it looks to me like the frizzen is a bit too soft, and needs to be "properly" hardened. I want my puppy to have a long and happy life, I think I need to harden the frizzen a bit.
Any advice on how to do that, "properly", techniques, methodes, heating tools/methodes?
I would appreciate that very, very much.
Sincerely,
ElvinWarrior... aka... David, "EW"
