    Making charcloth...

    My best tin is a bag balm can with a wire around the middle. Hole in lid& bottom. Put in fire, smoke will come out holes, then the smoke will catch fire, when fire dies out, put plugs in holes. When cool check the cloth, if black and tears, done. If brown cook some more. :thumbsup: Dilly

    CVA Mtn. Stalker .50

    To look down the barrel, I use a spent .38 nickel case, drop in empty barrel and shine a light on it. You can put tin foil on it if you want. Dilly

    Who makes it?

    He probably has four to a room. Mine are full in the one room. Heres a tip- I keep my old socks and after I wash them one more time and put them over the muzzles. Then when you pick them up to move to new corner you don't get any fingerprints the barrels :thumbsup: Dilly
