    On the wall or on your neck?

    If a person goes the "paper cartridge route" and starts using them what becomes of the horn or flask? Do you still carry them for looks or make wall hangers out of them?

    Gardening ..again

    Well it's almost that time of the year. About time to get the tiller out and if I can get it started I'll clear off the weeds for this year's garden. Wish me luck on the tiller. I'll be trying it one handed and left handed. I threw my right shoulder out of place a few weeks ago moving the...

    Nipple wrench?

    Any idea of what exactly this combination tool may be? A member on another forum is trying to identify it.I think he said the one on the right is a Sharps tool

    Oil containers

    A recent thread showed the contents of numerous bags. One thing that seemed to be conspicuously missing in some them was a small container of gun oil. How do you or do you even carry a small container of oil? Is it a plastic bottle, a metal one? None at all? Is it something you even carry in...

    Gunpowder

    We are discussing Western Movies on another forum. Two of the John Wayne/ Dean Martin movies were mentioned. In "Rio Bravo" thrown dynamite is detonated by shooting it. That can't happen, it takes blasting caps. In the movie "The Sons of Katie Elder" a can of gunpowder is set off by a gunshot...

    Sheath for the pocket knife

    Shoe leather from some old houseshoe moccasins is not the best by a long shot. (if it even is real leather?) I hate to throw away a good usable piece of anything so it's about time to make another sheath for the pocket knife. Nothing fancy but it saves wear and tear on the pockets.I've had that...

    Oils?

    The other day my wife was discarding old outdated cooking oils. She pointed to the 4-5 bottles on the counter and said to "get rid of them". None of these oils are rancid yet, just a little beyond the expiration date. You can guess what I have in mind. All of the partial bottles would probably...

    The sole purpose of this thread is to help out a new member who's first post may have been overlooked. That new member goes by the name of dakotama.He his looking for information on a commemorative Leech & Rigdin handgun made by High Standard. I'm sure there are members here with the sort of...

    Small B.H. Or is it b.h.?

    I was looking into the threads this morning and noticed a revolver stamped with a BH (1996) .While looking at the chart for date of manufacture I noticed the "BH"on the chart is a whole lot smaller than the other various letters. Any reason why?

    Gardening 2023

    Well it's getting to be close to that time of year again. Are we going to discuss gardening like last year? I started several varieties of heirloom tomatoes from seed some weeks back.They are still not quite big enough for transplanting, but getting there. Plus it's not officially spring...

    Mexico knife

    A brother-in-law gave me a knife with the word "Mexico" engraved on one side of the blade and some sort of design on the other side. I think it was more of a letter opener made for the tourist trade out of a mild steel.It's not a big knife and needs a scabbard but it is sharp.My question is it...

    Do they mix?

    When my aerosol cans of WD 40 go flat and lose their air I generally poke a hole in them and pour the contents in a small jar. It's usable with a cotton swab that way. I accidentally mixed some Liquid Wrench in with the WD 40 the other day. They seem compatible and this jar of WD40 now holds...

    Shadowbox

    Sometimes in the future I'm going to attempt to make a shadowbox to display either my 1851 Navy or some of Confederate notes. I really doesn't matter what is displayed it's the box itself that is of interest. I may have to ask some of you "skilled woodworkers" for pointers. Where and what forum...

    Cap sizes?

    If a person has revolver or rifle that uses #10s and all you can find is some #11s do you buy them anyway? If your gun uses #11s and you find some #10s,do you buy them? This is one of those opinion questions that has no right or wrong answer. My opinion is buy the larger size and in a pinch...

    Are we going to have a thread on gardening this year? I'm sure some got started already. I did in a small way. Just 7 tomatoes and 6 squash so far.My garden is alot smaller than last year's.

    ASM screw

    Several years ago I bought an ASM 1851 Navy second hand from a pawn shop. Everything appears to be in pretty good shape except I got to wondering about the retaining screw. The one on the left that secures the wedge. I some how "feel" it could possibly be a screw that the original owner blued...

    Wall hangers?

    If one graduates a step up to using paper cartridges almost exclusively what is the point in carrying either a horn or flask? I guess they still make fine decoration but are they still worn or just hung on the wall?

    Frontier Fremont

    Just started watching the movie "The Adventures of Frontier Fremont" with Dan Haggerty and Denver Pyle. I am supposing this Jacob Fremont character might have been based on John "the Pathfinder" Fremont,but I'm havingdoubts.Should I stay up till insight watching it or turn channels and watch the...

    Little brass cannon, again

    Last year I posted a picture of my little brass cannon, the kind you pop firecrackers in. And I think we had a pretty fair discussion on it. This year we are combining a 4th of July with a young boys birthday party. Do you think it would be appropriate for a 10 year old boy to play with it and...

    .451 or .454?

    I suppose there are some revolvers that could use either the .451 or the .454 diameter ball.It seems a fair amout of 44 shooters here prefer the .454. (And Ruger Old Army owners shoot the .457) So if the .454 can take the place of the .451 what is the point of the .451? Do some revolvers call...
