          Our new spring vise is a very handy item. In fact, if you ever disassemble your lock, one of these is required. If you try to remove a v-spring from a musket lock without using an appropriate tool, you will damage the spring and/or the mounting screw. This is one of the most common mistakes new flintlock owners make.

These are hand forged and are a copy of an original 18th century spring vise. We are very excited to be able to offer these to you as it is one of the most often used tools on my workbench. $25

          Another great tool. This is our 18th century musket tool which fits in your shooting bag yet is comprised of several handy tools. The top is a flint knapping hammer, the shaft unscrews to reveal a vent pick, and the bottom of it holds a tow worm and an adapter to fit it to some military muskets. These are hard to keep in stock at $35 each! musket tool

          Here is our adjustable brass powder measure. It is a copy of an original piece. The measure itself is made of brass and the handle is turned rosewood. The measure is marked with dram and ounce graduations for both powder and shot. Why use a modern adjustable measure when you can use a period correct one for only $25? powder measure

          Here is our Whisk and Pick. You hang this from the strap of your cartridge box or from a button on your waistcoat where it is within easy reach to clear your musket when it gets fouled. The pick clears the vent hole, and the brush sweeps the chunks of fouling away. The pick is hand forged with a decorative twist. It's one of those "must have" tools for a flintlock shooter. $8 whisk and pick

          Here is what Timothy Pickering called the Common Screwdriver. We find this description interesting because the term “screwdriver” is rarely encountered in the 18th century, “turn screw” being the more common term. It has two different sized screwdriver blades and a punch for driving out barrel pins. Hand forged and case hardened. $10 common screwdriver

          For you percusion shooters, here is a Nipple Wrench. These fit a standard square musket nipple. This is the sort of good quality tool that one would find in a cased set if you were buy a high-end shotgun in the 19th century. The square base of an Indian made nipple tens to be slightly oversized, so some filing of the nipple itself may be in order to use a standard sized wrench like this, but there will work for Euroarms and the other Italian nipples with no modification. $10 nipple wrench
