Track of the Wolf Bucks County Rifle Kit update #14
It has been so long since I posted an update that some of you have written to me asking if I abandoned the build.
I have not. I've been just so slammed with magazine work the last couple of months that I haven't had time to work on it. But on Thursday I cleared my last deadline for July, and I could get back into the shop for awhile. In this update I'm lowering the sides of the ramrod channel. In the next update I'll be installing the nose cap. I was planning for all that to be on one video, but it just got to be too long. As usual, let me remind you that I am not an accomplished rifle builder. This is my first build in 20 years. There are undoubtedly better ways of doing things...this is just how I do them. If that stimulated discussion of better techniques from the more knowledgeable among us, I welcome the opportunity to learn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS1mk3VUmNY |

Jack Brooks has an article on forming one piece brass nose caps in Contemporary Long Rifle. Of course, you need to have the dies to make it.

Here is a tutorial I did a few years ago that my old friend Colin Stolzer put on his site for all to see. It's a bit more advanced than a kit build, but I am sure there is info in it that will help you.
Use the link. http://blackpowderfa.proboards.com/i...lay&thread=194 |

What a neat thread!
Lot of good techniques from an obvious expert.
