WHAT OUR GUNSMITH CAN DO FOR YOUR MUSKET

+2 points for glass bedding
+2 points for stock work
+2 points for lock work
95 points puts you in the running.

• BAD BARREL Some bores may look rough and shoot well. A rough breech area can cause lead being stripped from bullets during the sudden expansion of the slug during firing. Lead fouling can build up and cause a whole laundry list of problems. Cleaning about every 10 rounds will help this. A rough or belled muzzle is a lost barrel. Your slug can not exit the muzzle in exactly the same way on each firing - therefore, your bullets are flying to a different point on your target each shot.
• Your barrel can be re-lined. This is done by boring out the core of the barrel, inserting a steel liner and THEN rifling this. This method works as well as a new barrel and has the benefit of retaining external barrel markings... COST: $200.00 to $250.00 ... TIME: 6-12 months.
• New barrel - reproduction Italian musket barrels are listed in our catalogue. Check pricing.
• Old Breach plus New Barrel An alternative is to take your breach and put an entirely new barrel on it... COST: for a musket is approximately $300.00 (Call for an exact price quote. 540 888-3595) ... TIME: - 6-9 months. This is still cheaper than buying an Italian barrel, and you are getting the best of custom work.

• Glass Bedding - Wood comes from trees. Trees suck moisture from the ground. Even though the wood in your gunstock is from a long dead tree - it still absorbs and exudes moisture from the air. As this happens, your stock will press on your barrel in different locations. Remember that an .001 change in barrel location will move your point of impact approximately 2 inches at 50 yards. This is especially problematic due to the long length of musket stocks. The following is a list of solutions:
• Glass Bedding the breach area, tang bolt, and trigger guard base: This will also prevent the tang bolt from being screwed too tightly or loosely (which leads to up and down shot strings... COST: $75.00 ... TIME: 2-3 months
• Relieving all wood and furniture from the rear barrel band forward, and seal all end grain wood Stops moisture absorption and changing group points... COST: $25.00 ... TIME: 2-3 Weeks
• Pinning non-band spring clamping bands so that they do not press on barrel (1863 Springfield, all Enfields, etc...) ...COST: $7.50 per band. ... TIME 1-2 Weeks.

LOCKS A grindy, crunchy, heavy, trigger pull is death to accuracy.- We take your lock and: Grind inside of plate level. Engine turn (jewel) inside of lock plate and all bearing surfaces for better oil retention and slickness. (Looks nice too) Install an adjustable setscrew on face of tumbler for an adjustable trigger pull. Recut, polish, and blue all screws. Balance all parts. Re-harden parts if necessary.
