    Sources of wool felt?

    Go to garage sales and look for old dress hats (mens). One hat should last a long time.

    Any long-range shooters here?

With that combination it can be shot in any of the long range matches at Friendship with confidence. My shooting buddy also just boughht a Volunteer...

    Traditions Crockett 32 = POS !

    An aluminum arrow makes a good field and range rod and the inserts are a 10-32 (I think) so jags and other accessaries can be screwed on to it. I think the dia. was a 2216. My crockett is 5 yrs. old and my biggest complaint is that I don't have the skills to make it a full stock in maple.

    Accurizing a .451 Volunteer

    Not knowing how much you want to spend most any gunsmith in your area should be able to do the trigger work. As far as working up an accurate bullet and powder combination, I've had good sucess with about any bullet I've used as long they have been in the 500 gr. or more area. The nose pore...

    Lee liquid alox

    I use it on conicals for my Ruger. they have grease grooves to hold the lub and work well with little mess. I'm not sure if a ball would hold and transfer enough lub to the barrel on a ball to help. Half the fun would be experimenting to find out the results. Enough said I might experiment today...

    gap filler

    One the best patch methods I have found is super glue and the sanding dust from the wood you are working on . Just put some of the dust in the gap that has had super glue put in it , pack the dust tight and spray it with accelerator (a drier ). Some times I use a small wooden mallet to pack the...
