I would suggest replacing all the plastic thimbles or Pipes as some call them on your gun with brass or Iron available from trackofthewolf.com or dixiegunworks.com.Purchase a catolog from either which I strongly suggest,a wealth of information on colonial way of life and tools necessary to survive if that way of life is chosen and Guns to buy and Gun Parts and tools to use is contained in either catolog.I enjoy fooling with those tools which include guns naturally.I have over my life made several Muzzle loaders from .32 Cal. Varmint Guns to .68 Cal Buffalo Guns. Most I have made,both Kit Guns and Parts guns have been sold at an annual Yard sale we have here in our community,word of mouth etc brings buyers. I do not advertise or promote them in any way due mainly to the fire arm laws and liability issues.Track of the wolf is a dependable supplier and they stock most any item the gun builder would need. Pictured is the latest I have built and it is my personal Keeper,.50 Cal.L&R Cap Lock Percussion 32" Green Mountain Barrel, All Brass Furniture,and an Edward Marshall style plain Maple stock.it is a Kentucky Style Long rifle. Edward Marshall was of the Christian Springs,Bedford County Pa. Gun building Community of the 1750 era.The Kentucky or Mountain Rifle was an adaption of the Tennesee long gun which it's self was an adaption of the Pennsylvania style Long gun and was important in colonial era to put Meat on the table,and It,s long Barrel rendered it extremely accurate which helped clear the land of undesireables such as Pawnee and Shawnee,Cherokee etc.Settling that afair with the British is not to be overlooked either.As Quigley said" We sent our undesirables back to England" New Pipes will require some drilling and tapping which is not that difficult. I also suggest a new rod which has been sized to fit which are available to purchase or make your own which I do all the time.Enough of this rambling,Hope these suggestions help. JH

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
