18th Century
•
2h 54m
Join talented full time traditional gun builder Mike Miller from Paducah, Kentucky as he builds a very fine flintlock Kentucky pistol starting with a premium curly maple stock blank & then fabricating most of the parts. The tapered & flared Bob Paris barrel is inlet with hand tools; the brass mounts including the ramrod pipes & muzzle cap, sights, tennon, trigger & side plate are all fabricated.
Mike demonstrates a neat technique to swage out & inlet a brass butt cap. He also installs a touch hole vent liner, relief carves the stock & adds a beautiful traditional finish over the nitric acid stain. The entire show is almost 3 hours long.
