    Pour spout for 1-pound Swiss BP bottles

    perhaps the top from a plastic condiments bottle will work. Screws right on the can. Trim the spout to suit.

    Wife wants a muzzleloader, please help

    Tip Curtis had a couple of real purdy .32's in stock late last summer. Short stocked and sweet. May be worth a trip or at least give a call. Will.

    TVM Tennessee Rifle?

    x2 Tip's guns are of the highest quality. Very accurate. Very well built. You will not be disappointed. Prices are very reasonable. I would order over the phone, sight unseen with no worries. He's that good. He doesn't do fancy engraving. My first flinter was a Pedersoli. Replaced the lock...

    anyone use a plain dowel as a ramrod?

    I do now. Ever since I launched the last one down through the woods. A straight-grained dowel works fine. will

    A little rust in the barrel a day after cleaning.

    Ammonia is an oxidizer. If memory serves me correctly.

    Rotometals ingots

    a log splitter worked quite well for me.

    Hornady 000Buck

    They work just fine. I use 20gr 3f wf a .015 pillow tick patch, spit lubbed or lightly oiled castor oil. Quarter sized groups at 50yds. Will

    Thank you, Wick. I'll give that a try.

    best steel for sparks

    I've always had good success using old files. Heat to the point where the striker does not respond to a magnet (about cherry red) then quench in slack water. Draw temper to a light straw. Will

    Shenandoah .36

    Yep 000 buckshot works great. Hornaday, 5lb box for around $25. Been using 20 gr 3f. gives me a 2" group at 50 yds with a spit patch (.01 cotton muslin). .022 ticking sparsely lubbed with coconut or olive oil gets me a 1" group (short starter needed). Enjoy. Will

    EU looks to ban muzzleloaders

    I'm likely going to need a special permit or license for flint knapping as well.

    Poacher

    Nope, the cases were both dismissed. But, time and money lost to defending against nuisance suits. Glad he had properly posted the property. Still, seems people will try to sue you for their own stupidity. btw, his cabin got repeatedly vandalized quite often thereafter. Finally had to tear...

    Poacher

    A poacher on my father's property a few years ago got himself bit by a copperhead. My father had to defend himself in civil court. Thankfully he had re-posted the property the week before. The following winter someone's kid (trespassing) fell through the thin ice on his pond. He had to defend...
