    Horn staining

    I wanted a more antique look for this horn project. Used "aqua fortis" along with leather stain and heat gun. Used a super thin sealer to protect colors. There may be better ways of doing this sort of thing.

    Shooting a replica Japanese ‘Tanegashima’ snap matchlock

    Ram rod and nipple hole

    The pistol ram rod stops at the blue tape. But the nipple hole is some distance away. There must be a path much smaller, but I can't tell by feeling with a wire. Just asking. I have not shot it yet.

    CVA pistol advice

    I have an old CVA pistol barrel that needs some TLC. The screw that was in the powder drum was mangled and looked bad. I was going to look for a screw but not sure where to look or what to ask for. The thing I call the “powder drum” that holds the nipple, looks fair. But I was wondering about...
