I think I want to convert my H&A Minuteman to a sideslapper..
I bookmarked a site that showed how to build your own..and, now can't locate it..
My wife "changed" things on our computer, slap I lost a lot of stuff. hdslp
Does anyone know of the site ??
Thanks for any help..
PS..I already checked PIONEER ARMS...
Ray, try Cabin Creek Muzzleloaders, also do a search for Mule ear lock, there was a guy here on the Key peninsula who carried and built side slappers
Thanks Jim.. hi:
I did a "Google"... but no joy...
There is one on e-bay right now also a underhammer action. Now to convert a h @ A minuteman to muleear. The problems are if you use your barrel you have to the sights and underlugs over two flats and drill a hole for your new nipple. If already a flintlock you may be lucky and not have to do all the new dovetails but I don't know and haven't done one.
If you go with a new barrel it would be a standard barrel replacement except for lining up the nepple with the lock. Hope this helps.
