    Re-use Rit Dye?

    I have used Rit w/denatured alcohol for years to dye arrow shafts and most batches are "years" old.Rejuvinate when the alcohol evaporates and it gets kinda muddy.Chris

    Breech plug

    Thanks fellas.My concern was the make up with the top barrel flat(less friction and I may overun my stop).I will keep things clean and off of the mating surfaces where barrel and breech meet.Thanks again,Chris

    New bag...need ideas for strap

    Hello folks Here's my first bag but I am stumped on the strap.I would like to use the same leather as the bag but it's pretty thin(using single ply)and if I fold over and sew....well,I might be finished sometime next year.Anyone have some good ideas? Thanks,Chris

    Southern barrel length

    I forgot to add in my last post That I received 10 full scale prints of various southern style and Tenn. rifles today.They have some really nice cross section views of the stocks along with correct furniture,barrels,etc.Longbow

    Southern barrel length

    Hey fellas Thanks for all the great info. and clarifying things for me.When Dick and I spoke on the phone the other day I asked about him specifically about using a "B" weight(50 cal.)swamped barrel on one of his Tenn. stocks.He said that it would be fine but the southern mtn. stock would work...

    Southern barrel length

    Mike and tg The only thing I can really tell you is Dick made the comment that the S. mtn.would be more appropriate.I thought maybe with swamped barrel it would need a little more width in the forestock.I apologize if I sounded stupid.Thanks fellas,Longbow
