    "Feelie Box"

    Anybody out ever use a feelie box in their shooting matches? Maybe a description is needed. I usually turn a wooden box sideways until the open side is on one side of the box.

    To stop the rusting process

    I like to warm the parts I have rusted/browned by warming the metal enough to melt beeswax rubbed over it. This imediately stops the rusting as it forms an airtight surface. It also imparts a nice dark color to the browning that can't quite be achieved with oil. Any excess or too much buildup...

    CVA Hawkin .50 cal Pistol

    If you still want to remove the barrel, first remove the ramrod. A light tap on the pin on the side away from the head of the pin should loosen it. Do this with a wood or rubber or plastic mallet. The tang screw is the only other place the barrel is held. A little pitting inside the barrel won't...
