Grandfather recently gave me a few odds and ends for some old BP rifles, and a old kit pistol.
I really would love to put the barrel to use, by completing a build on it. I have no issues working with firearms .. but black powder is completely new to me.
Ive started looking around on the web .. was hoping someone here might give me a point in the right direction.
The barrel looks like its never been shot, and stamped
Sharon Rifle barrel
For black powder only .50 cal.
(nothing else)
I also have a a hammer? and side plate
Only markings on it are
L. R.E. Davis
Id need to gather everything else. Im not opposed to a full kit if i could find it minus the barrel if needed.
The pistol well its complete.
Connecticut Vally ARMS, Inc
Kentucky pistol
Made in spain Black powder only .50 cal.
Any suggestions for a 1st timer?
