    another walnut dye question.

    Ok, last year I made some pecan dye. I made a post about it stating that the stuff really started to stink after a little while and I was informed that it had rotted. I am getting ready to make some walnut dye and my question is. How do I keep it from rotting?

    nose cap on an Iron mounted rifle?

    I know an iron mounted rifle isn't the most PC/HC for an Isaac Haines rifle. That being said I really like the look of aged steel buttplate and such on one of these rifles. My question is what would you guys use for a nose cap? Would you use brass or use some sort of steel?

    I was thinking about some of the good frontier movies in the past. I was wondering what some of you guys would like to see made.
