    OUCH!!!

    OUCH!!!

    Danny Caywood of Caywood Gunmakers would not contribute anything toward a new barrel. He said that it was only cosmetic and there is nothing wrong with the gun. He also said no one would notice. He says these are S bands and they are historically correct. I have never seen barrel bands like...

    OUCH!!!

    I thought I could live with it and just sand out the tool mark. I waited a long time for the barrel and was happy to have it. Not a big job if it's chucked up in a lathe.

    OUCH!!!

    I was going to ask a machine shop for a cost to metal spray the barrel up to the original diameter and cut two wedding bands into it. I'm weary of welding it up and machining it back, too hot. I'm not sure metal spraying is the answer either. It may be too hot as well. Your idea has me...

    OUCH!!!

    Well, it took me eleven months to get a 10 gauge barrel. When I received it, the barrel, had two wedding bands and a tool score mark on the barrel that was pretty deep. I sent the barrel out to get it jugg choked and asked the machinist/gun builder to clean up the wedding bands and try to...

    How Often Do You Remove the Touch Hole Liner

    My experience is only with white lightnin liners. In the supplied instructions it states to leave the bottom two or three threads partially cut. This is so the liner will essentially lock itself in, seal the joint between the liner and the barrel. In industry, bolts that are in critical...

    75 cal. Cherry stocked fowler

    How does it shoot? How's does it pattern. I'm going to put in an order from Jim Chambers for a 10 gauge New England fowler this week. I'm just trying to decide on which wood, cherry or walnut. I may have it jugg choked to full for a turkey gun. I'm trying to locate a smith who can jugg...

    Premade shot cups/cartridges, how to.

    "If someone can figure out how to make these hold together just a little longer after leaving the muzzle, and drop away, without slugging, I'd love to hear how. " Try using a dilute paste of starch and water. Apply it evenly to the paper before you roll it. Let the tube dry and it should hold...

    Making an 18th Century New England Connecticut River Valley Fowler

    I have not made it to the Historic Deerfield Memorial Hall in Deerfield MA. I drove past it for years but never stopped. Isn't that always the case. Is that where they have all the powder horns on display? I look forward to your future posts. I'm searching through the posts looking for...
