JPR 182 Humtmaster

Re: New member with an FH

Steve, Paul,
Thanks to both of you. I'll check the gasket and if there are any signs that it

No more crimped spades for me. I think I have now got enough primer on the rear sec...

There are companies out there that are regularly casting parts for flintlock pistols, many of which are made from hardened steel (fritzens cor example) they are very approachable and if you can get a casting from one of your originals it should be a simp...
