    Belt Ax

    It's a great little ax. Great for sharpening wooden stakes and splitting kindling. Used mostly on small game. Used for removing feet and head from squirrels, no more dulling my pocket knife on cutting bones.

    Anything legally killed with a smoothbore muzzleloader or a longbow, is a trophy in my book. Congratulations.

    candle lantern

    In my older lanterns I used a mason jar lid with a wood screw through lid into candle. I upgraded to a 3/4" wooden base drilled out to take a glass candle holder. It's not period correct but is a lot more stable and holds candle tight. The entire base is removeable.

    candle lantern

    True, a candle to tall will overheat the top of lantern but also give off less light. You want the flame visible through all 4 windows.

    candle lantern

    On this lantern, yes hole punched inward. Other lanterns holes drilled. I haven't noticed any difference between the two. As far as fire hazard, I agree, never leave any open flame unattended.

    candle lantern

    Yes built free hand. Saw a picture and used it as a guide. Made about a dozen of them and gave most of them to family. No two are exactly alike. They are handy when the lights go out.

    candle lantern

    I have a 1/4" hole drilled in 4 corners of bottom for added draft. Also a 1/8" spacer under each corner to rase bottom above flat surfaces. Before I did these mods, the flame would dim when I closed the door. Works fine now.

    a friend of mine forged this small ax head for me. It's patterned after the Fort Meigs ax. I added the handle.

    Stuck

    I stopped using cleaning jags years ago because they sometimes got stuck or the patch separated from the jag.. I've used a shotgun cleaning rod since. I use the slotted tip to hold the patch. With different size tips available the same rod will clean multiple calibers. There is no guarantee it...

    Western Arms Corp. 1860 Army

    LONDON stamped on top of barrel, Black powder only on bottom. AUBERTI&C on side of frame along with the usual proof marks. My first thought was same as Hawk54's, just standard information on hand. The revolver is 43 years old and still my favorite black powder gun. This thread just got me wondering.

    Western Arms Corp. 1860 Army

    Question, I have a Uberti London model 51. purchased in 1980. I think I purchased it from TOW or DGW, don't remember. It came with paper work ( loading and cleaning instruction), with Western Arms heading and address. No where on the gun does it say Western Arms. Is it a Western Arms or not?

    High humidity reeks havoc

    The question started out was about humidity and became a discussion about chain fires? Back to humidity. Living in south Louisiana we don't have days of humidity but several consecutive months of it. I can't wait until the fall and winter for when we have days of low humidity. After firing 3...

    How many of you dry your revolver in the oven?

    Never put in oven but I have used a hair dryer before reassembly. On a hot sunny day I have put parts in an aluminum pan and set out in the sun. After 30 min. or so parts are hot and dry.

    Have you filed the sight notch in your Colt’s hammer for sighting adjustment?

    I replaced the front sight in my 51 navy with a brass rod and filed down to poa at 25 yards . I've also file notch in hamer to adjust windage. I purchased a spare hammer and notched that one. Saved the original hammer un-altered. She's dead on at 25yards now.
