    Full Stock Barrel Removal

    I like to take things apart so I do it often, but if my rifle has been out in wet weather I feel that it is a necessity.

    Advice on getting started crafting.

    I agree that Dremels are dangerous. I suspect that there are Dremel experts out there who can do a good job, but I wouldn't try it unless you are really good with it.

    What happens When You Accidentally Shoot a Ramrod out of your gun?

    I have done it several times. This is a fact of which I am not proud, but it is, nevertheless, a fact. I have only once recovered the rod. It was broken but still in one piece. I learned two quite surprising things from the event. 1, I found the rod about ten yards behind the 40 yard...

    Had not noticed this before....

    A lot depends on how clean you want your rifle. I guarantee that if you clean with water only, or even water with some detergent, and then run a tight fitting patch down into that small diameter area, it will come out with some black stuff on the patch. It is highly unlikely that little bit of...

    I think curiosity is a good enough reason to take out a touch hole liner.

    Curious, How do you clean your Pinned barrel Rifle or Smooth bore?

    I have acquired rifles that looked very nice and had very good bores, but when I removed the barrel it looked as if it had never been taken off. The invisible part of the barrel was very rusty and otherwise crud covered. I am very much bothered by such rust even if you can't see it.

    What makes a good patch knife?

    I am sure that it is definitely not period correct, but I like to use a single bevel blade to cut my patches. One can lay the unbevelled side of the blade flat against the muzzle and slice. It is convenient and easy, and I think the edge stays sharp longer.

    Carolina Gun build / canoe length

    I can't understand why any one would want a gun as long as a canoe, even if it was a very short canoe.

    Round barrels?

    Oregon Barrel Co. advertises both round and tapered round barrels. I have only one of there barrels (not round) but it is a very good barrel. Their barrels are sold through The Gun Works. [www.thegunworks.com]

    My favourite FUN target is a piece of paper with a solid black spot in the centre.

    I can only hope that most of these patch cutting comments are intended to be humorous.

    Chewed roundball

    I have read that in the old days and lead was scarce a ball retrieved from a game animal would be chewed round and shot again.

    SOLD Hudson Bay Camp Knife

    I had not heard the term Hudson's Bay Camp knife until now. I have a knife that is almost a twin to the one pictured. I have no memory of where, how or why acquired it. I probably inherited it at some point. My knife is 14 inches long with a 9 inch blade. The blade is stamped UNWIN &...

    Cleaning in the field

    In my opinion if you slather enough oil on it, no harm will come to it for quite a long period of time until you can clean it properly. It will be quite a mess, but no harm will come to it.

    Camping off a mule?

    I have owned a few horses in my day, and have done a fair amount of horse camping, but I have always thought that a riding mule would be really great. At 90 years of age I am not likely to get around to it, but who knows? The mule probably wouldn't care how old I was.
