67 cal Tower style pistol
« on: August 31, 2010, 11:54:12 AM »
I'm looking to redue my flintlock pistol and have been looking for a new stock sense this was a kit gun from the 60's-70's. Does anyone have any good web sites to get pistol stocks for a flintlock? Any help would be great.

Track of the Wolf, Pecatonica River, Dixie Gun Works and others all sell pistol stock blanks. They are just rough shaped outside and with no inleting at all. I doubt you'll have much luck finding an actual replacement stock you can just swap your metal into.
The story of David & Goliath only demonstrates the superiority of ballistic projectiles over hand weapons, poor old Goliath never had a chance.

Is this one of the Japanese Tower pistols based on the model 1805 dragoon pistol ?

if it is the is more than sufficient wood in the stock to  de-farb it,  I have takes several of these

and reworked them into the 1770's light dragoon pistol,  first I replace the crappy internals with

correct tumbler bridle and sear, replace cock with a flat "S" style reshape & add moldings around tang

thin forend remove steel rammer and pipe replace with single larger pipe and wood rammer..... from there

it's a pretty good pistol,  I also remade one of these to represent a  Rappahannock Forge pistol
