KA712-Philadelphia Drringer kit
Long story short my buddy was cleaning out his house, and found this derringer kit, knowing i like guns he gave it to me.
You basically have to assemble it yourself and finish the wood, and do a bit of wood removal to get the parts to fit as they should.
With that said, it comes w/ assembly instructions, but mentions a "You can shoot it" manual to refer to when...you want to load it up to shoot....alas my buddy and I, cannot find the manual.
If anyone has one and can send photos/link me to where i can find it would be great.
I'm looking for what kind of black powder to use, and patchs/balls/ram rod/what percussion caps ect (prob all delt w/ in the "you can shoot it" manual, if i can get my hands on one.)
this will be my first black powder gun. I found only a couple mentions of this gun and apparently thousands were imported from spain as a DIY black powder kit in the 80's...this one is percussion, has straight rifling and shoots .440 round balls. Most people have them as wall hangers...i want to shoot it. Some mentioned it shot safely but had horrible accuracy which is expected...its an 'in your face' type gun i'm not exactly expecting to keep it in the 10 ring.
So any info would be great i'm going to get to building it within a few weeks should be a neat project.
