So, I finally have all of the simple tools for my first real home build. I've been looking at barrels, blanks, and liners online and they can get a bit pricey. I have found however that a lot of revolver barrels are inexpensive and readily available. If I were to purchase say, a .38 special...

So I am going to be building a small 3" barrel simple blowback pocket pistol. I know .22lr is cheap, but upon research, I find the .25acp has better ballistics out of the shorter barrels and is the reason for its past popularity with pocket pistols. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I know that...

I recently found an EIG marked Japanese smoothbore flintlock that is very clean and has about a 7" barrel. They are asking $175. Is it worth my time/money? What kind of performance could I expect out if this? Pretty new to bp, but I know that similar looking pieces go for double that...

Not a firearms noob, but new to home builds. I was looking for a way to build a sheet metal carbine receiver with one of those "Saturday night special" receiver-less parts kits. Just something to scare off varmints, or run a trap line wth. Could easily build a single shot shotgun or handgun, but...
