    lead corrosion

    Hi I purchased a handful of .32cal lead balls in a nice deer leather pouch from a gun show recently. The balls have a pretty good coating of lead oxide on them (white powdery). I'd like to clean them up before firing, mostly to keep the lead off my hands. Anyone have a method to remove the...

    Need new rear sight Traditions Hawken Woodsman

    Nuthatch...well you are the first person that I know of that has the same rifle. Everything I like, except the cheap plastic sights and the fact that they are screw mounted. As you saw, there are some alternatives, I am waiting on a reply to a message I sent to RMC to see if their universal...

    Broke a brass piece

    So I'm working in this old cva pistol kit. I put the brass trigger guard in a vise to file out some rough spots. I didn't realize it but I tightened the vise down too much and it broke one end of the guard right where a screw hole is. How to fix this? Thanks!

    Dixie leather sling

    Howdy, I have one of the Traditions Hawken .50 cal percussion rifles. I need to put a sling on it. I got one of them types from Dixie that straps on around the buttstock (I can figure that out) but I haven't a clue on how to attach at the forend. It has a loop at that end, but no holes in the...
