    Turtle Shell Bowl

    Thanks for your input. I had thought about sealing inside with a diluted epoxy. I know that is not PC and just not sure about the oil treatment either. I have already cleaned and sanded the inside but just not sure where to go from there. Thanks again for your post. BobS aka Ole Coots

    two wheel wood cart

    Have built one similar but with steel spokes and was wondering if it would be accepted at a pre 1840 Vous. I will be attending the Alafia River Renz, Jan 11--21 this year and would like to use this cart for water and fire wood. I am just concerned about it being PC and accepted. BobS aka...

    Turtle Shell Bowl

    Hello The Camp: Have couple of 10-12 inch snapping turtle shells and was just wondering if any one has ever made a bowl from one.. I would like to use one as a bowl to eat from. How did you do it and what did you use to seal it and how did you clean it after use? Would you do it again...

    Navy Arms Side Hammer 32 cal

    Hello the Camp: As a follow up on my mule ear rifle. As Coyote Joe expected, it is a 1/4 x 28 thread on the nipple and it screws directly into the barrel, there is no drum. Upon getting it out and under close examination, it appeared to have been slightly expanded. I turned it to the the...

    Navy Arms Side Hammer 32 cal

    Zonie: Thank you for a very informative reply. I had not thought about my old Dixie catalogs. Actually mine are in SC as I have come to Florida to care for my Mom as versus her going into a home, which she did not want. Anyway, thank you. I have removed the nipple which screws...

    Navy Arms Side Hammer 32 cal

    Thanks Coyote Joe: I agree, I think safest thing is to remove nipple and check the threads which I will do. Thanks also for the possible name, I will check that too. I really like the little rifle so am very interested in all I can learn about it. Coot aka BobS

    Navy Arms Side Hammer 32 cal

    Fellows --thank you for your help but still no results. The Country Boy by Navy supposedly was an inline 50 cal. I will remove the nipple and try to measure the threads and hope to find a replacement nipple that uses the #11 cap. Thanks again Coots aka BobS

    Navy Arms Side Hammer 32 cal

    Fellows----I can not find any info on this little rifle, can you help me??? Also I would like to know the nipple thread size so I can get an extra nipple. It seems to like a #10 cap but will shoot with a #11 but not consistently. Coots
