    Smoke Rings?

    I've always wondered why firing a flintlock often results in the launching skyward of a smoke ring from the lock area. I've seen it happen both with and without flash guards. My question is, what causes this? Smollett

    LMF Browning Touch -Up

    Eric: Did you have to put the gun in a moist environment for the LMF to work on that scratch or did you simply let it do its thing wherever?

    Small Patch-Tin Project

    I was about to toss an empty CCI percussion cap container when I had a rare lucid moment.

    Shot Pouch Construction

    Spence: Is the neck of the leather spout, under the cord whipping, sewn all the way up sides or are the two halves left as flaps? I want to prevent the leather from bunching up under the tightened cord or at the base of the neck. Thanks, Smollett

    Shot Pouch Construction

    I've got a small hand stitched leather bag and intend to attach a wooden spout for dispensing round balls. Question: How does one wrap the spout with string/cord in a neat manner? The examples I've seen don't show any visible knots and the ends of the string are hidden. I'd like to do the...

    Scout rifle kit?

    Out of curiosity (and off-topic), it is obvious as to why beards would have been common in the wild, during any time period. The rendering above shows an American with a flintlock gun (so presumably pre-1840?) and big moustache. I could be wrong, but I didn't think styled facial hair such as a...
