You are visiting the website of Peter A. Alexander, gunsmith of muzzle-loading rifles, as featured in Muzzleloader magazine. Here you will find resources, information and Peter's thoughts on building beautiful Kentucky rifles.
A fellow from New Jersey ordered a left-handed Armstrong, which quickly became another recreation of the "silver" Armstrong. This customer also owns the Armstrong pistol and the matched pair of Armstrong-style pistols. In the future, he will own recreations of all the famous Armstrong rifles.
Having made one or two less than great pistols, I sought out Bill Kennedy, the great pistolsmith. Together we produced an article in Muzzleloader magazine, and this pistol - yet another Armstrong with my own version of a brass plate Armstrong lock, was the result. As far as a I know, this pistol is for sale.
Bernie Tulino and I talked at Dixon's Gunmakers' Fair: he wanted an instruction manual on how to put together his swivel breech rifle kit, and I wanted a swivel breech rifle. This is it. Then he wanted a manual on how to stock a swivel breech rifle. My next swivel breech is in the planning.
