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 - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
