    Who can jug choke a smoothbore barrel?

    As I try to get a better pattern in my smoothbore 20ga trade gun, I realize that 25yds is my limit. I was wondering if I could send the barrel off to someone and have it jug choked? Any ideas

    My first belt pouch.

    Another cold, snowy, rainy day here in Southern Vermont. I have a big piece of good quality leather so I decided to make myself a belt bag or pouch. Not very big, about 8”x6”x4” , but I learned a lot about building a small bag. Small pieces of antler for closures, and all saddle stitched. I love...

    WANTED Tow

    Where can I get tow! I tried Track, Log Cabin Shop, even Amazon and EBay. Unless it’s called something else, I cannot find any. I did find raw sheep sheeting’s or wool. But that is pretty pricey. Any ideas?

    Turkey box call holster

    Stayed inside yesterday, 10f and 15mph winds here in Vermont. I decided to max a box call carrier for my Lynch’s #102 box call. It’s a great old call and deserves better treatment than tumbling around in the bottom of my backpack, or game pouch. I only had 7/8oz vegtan leather to work with...

    Dumb question?

    I am refinishing a nice little Traditions sidelock rifle and have a question. There is a small spring loaded screw inside the lock that I am not familiar with.
