    The Cleaning & Maintenance Of A Muzzle-Loading Gun.

    With so much discussion these days on lubes & chemical cleaning agents, some people must be wondering how people ever managed without them in the 18th century & how so many guns survived! Well they managed just fine ;) Keith.

    Charring Plant & Fungus Tinders without using a "char tin"!!!
