    Pour spout for 1-pound Swiss BP bottles

    perhaps the top from a plastic condiments bottle will work. Screws right on the can. Trim the spout to suit.

    Wife wants a muzzleloader, please help

    Tip Curtis had a couple of real purdy .32's in stock late last summer. Short stocked and sweet. May be worth a trip or at least give a call. Will.

    TVM Tennessee Rifle?

    x2 Tip's guns are of the highest quality. Very accurate. Very well built. You will not be disappointed. Prices are very reasonable. I would order over the phone, sight unseen with no worries. He's that good. He doesn't do fancy engraving. My first flinter was a Pedersoli. Replaced the lock...

    anyone use a plain dowel as a ramrod?

    I do now. Ever since I launched the last one down through the woods. A straight-grained dowel works fine. will

    best steel for sparks

    I've always had good success using old files. Heat to the point where the striker does not respond to a magnet (about cherry red) then quench in slack water. Draw temper to a light straw. Will
