    Making charcloth...

    My best tin is a bag balm can with a wire around the middle. Hole in lid& bottom. Put in fire, smoke will come out holes, then the smoke will catch fire, when fire dies out, put plugs in holes. When cool check the cloth, if black and tears, done. If brown cook some more. :thumbsup: Dilly

    Who makes it?

    He probably has four to a room. Mine are full in the one room. Heres a tip- I keep my old socks and after I wash them one more time and put them over the muzzles. Then when you pick them up to move to new corner you don't get any fingerprints the barrels :thumbsup: Dilly

    45 cal CVA squirrel

    On a CVA you have to remove the drum to remove the breech plug. May they didn't?. The only place you might get help from is Deer Creek in Waldron, Indiana. Ph 765-525-6181 . I have one in a .32 cap, good little gun. My buddy had one in a .32 flint. He had two barrels, one was a .45. Dilly
