Good free sources for DIY muzzleloaders?
FilipT:
This will be a summer project, probably going slowly. Only thing I think I will make pretty fast is these few parts for match mechanism. Fitting and woodwork will be a long work.
I will make separate thread after some time.
Eric Krewson:
I highly recommend you buy a barrel and breech it properly, you are risking your life if you don't, gun building is serious business.
When I was 13 my best friend and I made a pistol with copper tubing for a barrel. We strapped it to a tree, put a fuse in the touchhole and ran behind a tree while it went off.
One day when I wasn't around my friend held it in his hand an touched it off, it blew up and killed him. 56 years later I still think about this tragedy several times a week.
FilipT:
What is good barrel material?

A barrel. I'm with Eric on this, don't mess around, just buy a barrel, the difference between gun and pipe bomb is too narrow to screw around with.
FilipT:
Any good sources (websites) you recommend? There are no sources in Croatia (maybe a gunsmith), so I would have to order online.
PM please because I think we can't post links.
