    The "Unbreakable Ram Rod"

    I sell 2 cycle tools. What the heck is a "line trimmer rods"? never heard of such a thing in 27 years in bus. My archery friends used to make arrows from yellow birch 11/32 diameter. They would bounce them off iron plate time and again without breaking.

    JB Weld on oversized wood holes....??

    For the project you are working on, I agree, a wood dowel is best, but I have used JB Weld on MANY other things like this. It's great stuff. Everyone should have some on hand for use when they want it stuck for good.

    Bore Seasoning

    I think its hillarious that guys who say you have to season your bore will also tell you you have to use boiling hot water and Dawn dish detergent to clean it.

    Thompson hawken upgrades

    My friend and I both bought TC .54 Hawken kits about 1994. He still has his. Thinking hard, I dont recall ever having any issues with either of them as long as we put powder in before the ball. They shot every chunck of lead we put down them quite well. These guys with internet channels all want...

    Bore Seasoning

    Seasoning a muzzleloader bore is probably the biggest misinformed, most quoted myth there is in the muzzleloading sport, followed closely by the "you cant weigh black powder with a scale, you have to weigh it with a powder measure" BS. Fortunately, most folks here have given up the bore...

    Patch lube -- I know this will get a dozen ideas for each 6 responses, but...

    'Bout 1:7 Ballistol and water, but that varies. Patches damp, not wet.

    Tell me of your cleaning rituals

    There is a difference between "shoot it again tomorrow" clean and spotless clean. I always enjoy when someone says they just run a few patches down and they are done in 5 minutes.

    Do I Clean Em ?

    Why would anyone not clean and oil an antique firearm? You're not using rubbing compound and ScotchBrite pads, just some cloth and oil.

    Ballistol

    I like Ballistol. Yes, it has an odor. Like every other product in this world, it has it's uses. No, it's not the best product for every job in the shooting industry, just like WD-40.

    Modify T/C Hawken Trigger Guard?

    Has anyone here cut the big finger hook off the bottom rear of the TC trigger guard? Id like to see some pictures of that. Id like to take it off and round that area smooth, like it was never there. Dont know, I dont want to do something I might regret, But I dont like that hook.
