    A Colt Paterson Holster

    I have had this Paterson for a number of years, but have never had a holster for it. Anytime I wanted to pack it very far, I ended up stuffing it in my belt. After conversing with Swampy, he offered the suggestion of making up a holster for it. Since he did not have that particular model in...

    Arbor Lube

    Wanted to give a bit of preliminary findings on some experimentation that I have been doing with a natural lube on the arbor of my percussion revolvers. A while back I decided to try a mixture of deer tallow and bear oil lube out on my repros that a very good friend made up for me. The lube is...

    Shot my Rogers and Spencer

    I took the Rogers and Spencer out just before dark and fired 30 rounds through it. Shot all but six rounds at my steel clangers. I put the last six round into a paper plate to check for a group. This is another one of my pistols that spends most of the time just lying around. I have had it since...

    Guyer Over/Under Rifle

    I have owned this rifle for 6 years now. A friend had bought it off the net a few years before that and had then decided to take it to a muzzleloading gun show to be sold in order to finance another purchace. He stopped by my place to pick up a rifle that I was also wanting to sell, and in the...

    Dusted Off The Colt Paterson

    After getting the new 1860, I had to pull out my other percussion revolvers and give them the eyeball. When I grabbed the Patterson, it dawned on me that it has gone the longest without being fired. I am sad to say that I can not remember exactly when I last shot it :( So to fix the issue...

    A New Uberti 1860

    Just got this one delivered yesterday after a three month back order wait. It is a Cimarron/Uberti with charcoal blue finish. I have been wanting an 1860 for sometime without the cut out frame for a shoulder stock, so I finally just gave in to my desire and orderd one :grin: Having owned...

    Couple Of Powder Chargers

    Here are a few pics of two powder chargers that I recently finished. The first is a sleek little measure made from a whitetail antler tine. After a blotched attempt at coloring the piece with rit dye, I overcoated it with several applications of Lincoln brown leather dye. It throws 35 grains...

    Latest powder charger

    I put a bit more file work into the tail of this one. I actually started this one for Swampy, but due to the thinness of the cavity wall, I will not risk the chance of having it break on him down the road. I got the wall pretty thin while opening up the cavity attempting to reach the desired...

    Another Antler Powder Charger

    This one will go along with the other charger that I recently posted and is for my friends wife. It throws 40 grains. I wanted hers to have some similarity to the the first one so I applied some of the same dots. There is also a stem and leaf pattern in between the two birds (not seen in the...

    Antler Powder Charger

    Just finished this one this afternoon. I am going to give it to a friend. It throws 80 grains and was stained with Rit dye. The shaping was done with a conbination of flat, round, and triangle files. I used a dremel for the dot pattern and a homemade tool for the scratching. I hope to get a...

    Small Shot Pouch

    Prompted by Spence's "rawhide" post, it was decided today that I needed a smaller pouch for carrying shot. I made the neck and stopper out of deer antler and the body from some scrap oil tanned leather. I hand filed the stopper to fit perfectly into the neck-not to tight but snug enough that it...

    Idaho Buck

    Headed up the mouth of Lolo canyon this morning looking for a buck. It was crisp with lots of fog and moisture in the air as well as on the ground. There has been a lot of rain in this country the past three weeks and the ground is saturated. Makes it pretty easy to move quietly, but it gets a...

    re powder measures

    I hope not to overload this section of the forum with more photos of measures, but I started this new topic in response to Beaverman. He requested some close up shots of the measure that was included in my earlier "new horn" post. Here they are along with some others. The measure that...

    A new horn

    I do not claim to be a horner in anyway, I have just messed around with building an occasional one for some years now and in the past few years, I have tried my hand at scrimming. Basically, it has provided me with additional enjoyment to the hobby as well as pass away the winter evenings. I...

    2009 Dickert buck

    This is my deer for the 2009 season. I got him on Nov. 26th, Thanksgiving day. I am limited to one deer per year unless I draw an extra doe tag during the lottery draw. I had no luck on the draw this year. I was sneaking through the upper edge of a small canyon not far from where I live, and...

    Another first

    12 26 09 After Christmas dinner last evening, I decided that I should try and fill my 2nd tag, so I headed out today and took along a brand new .62 smooth rifle that I picked up a month ago. A friend of mine had TVM put it together for him last summer and then decided that he needed some extra...

    Several Firsts

    Dec. 24, 2009 I decided to get out on this morning and try to take a turkey with my Chambers smooth rifle. It is a fairly new gun and so far, I have only taken 1 squirrel with it for an evening meal during an overnight scout/trek. I knew an area where a small flock was hanging out regularly, so...
