    Finished Horn............

    Earlier this summer a friend asked me to make him a horn to go along with a flintlock that he's presently building. After searching all the local sources for a suitable horn I was directed to "Powderhornsandmore.com" by some of the horn makers here on the forum. John was very helpful in...

    Couple of primers

    Here's a pair of flat priming horns that I made for two of my friends a short time ago. I shaped them using the hot oil method, and the base plugs are from a piece of curley maple that was picked out of my woodpile. Priming valves each throw 3 grs. of 4ffffg powder;

    New (to me) Horn

    Well it sure pays to talk muzzleloading whenever you get the chance. Monday a fellow who I have known for years came into my shop and said " The last time I was in here you were talking about powderhorns and such, so I thought you might like this"......... He told me he was...

    Primitive Bow

    During the last few years most of the weekend/rendezvous that I have attended included a Primitive bow competition of some sort as one of the events. So when a friend delivered several ash logs to me this spring I decided to get creative (that and the fact that my friend asked me to make him a...

    Members Shooting Contest Part "B"

    It appears that the "Members Shooting Contest" is becomming quite popular; however I have noticed a "trend" that might be worth looking into. It seems that everytime a member claims to have made a less than perfect shot there's always a very good excuse to go along with it. Let's hear some...

    Last one for this winter

    Just finished this one up this evening. The horn measures 10" along the outside curve, and is 2" in diameter at the butt. Small but will still hold approx. 1900 grs of FFFg. The butt is a piece of mahogany that I scrounged from a near by boat shop, and the horn was from a local critter. The...

    "NOTHER HORN

The horn measures 9" along the outside curve and is just slightly over 2" in diameter at the butt. Stopper is pine and the butt is local maple with a bit of curl, both are...

    A great time was had by all

    :grin: For those of you that have been following my thread in the non-muzzleloading section. You will know that I have been having a ball at the expense of R/C R/C asked me to make him a horn awhile back, and I agreed, but until today he wasn't sure just what he was going to wind up with...

    Santas helper

    . Well with Christmas just around the corner I thought I'd better get something finished for a shooting buddy of mine. This one measures approx. 13" along the curve and is 2-1/4" in diameter. I haven't put his name on it yet (he might be lurking on this forum and see it :wink: ).

    Help identify please

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask these questions (moderatore please feel free to re-direct) The following pictures are ones that I took today of a gun that has spent the last (that we know of )75 years stuck up in the attic of the mother-in-laws house. It may have been there much...

    One step further

    :thumbsup: I can't begin to describe how much I've learned from this forum and it's members. First it was just shooting and gun "stuff", then I got interested in horn making, had lots of help there. Well I've run out of raw horns for the time being, so I started looking around for other...

    some of you ain't gonna like this

    I know this flies right in the face of what most of you say about the accuracy of a round ball, but I got to tell you what I saw yesterday. A good friend and fellow forum member and I were at our monthly shoot yesterday, as usual we arrived early so we decided to get a bit of practice (any...

    Old ladel

    :hmm: Since I was not exactly sure just where to post these, I thought it would be safe to drop them here. Moderators please feel free to re-position them as you see fit. A few weeks ago a life long friend stopped by my shop for a yarn. Work had been a little slow so I was playing (running...

    help identifying

    I recieved this gun from a friend a couple of years ago and never really paid much attention to it. So today I took it down and looked it over a bit and got to wondering just what I had. I was told at the time it was 16 guage and that it shot a .625 cal. ball (I have shot some shot through it a...
