    Got my old leanto back

    Gave it away 20 years ago? You may want to consider simply giving it a decent burial, and getting a new one!

    Repairing a cracked wrist

    Thanks for the advice, all. I like the way the brass looks. What gauge brass should I use? Do i need to finish the edges somehow, and should it be glued in place, as well as pined/nailed?

    Repairing a cracked wrist

    I have a Doglock purchased from Loyalist Arms. Recently, I noticed a crack across the wrist (due to abuse, I'm sure, I use it in reenactments and I'm not shy about "dying"). I tried to reinforce it by drilling a pilot hole and installing a screw from the top of the wrist, but it appears to have...

    fire piston video

    I just bought one on ebay; got it to work on the third try. This is just too cool! I recommend EBPrimitives, he did a nice job.

    Waterproofing canvas

    Thompsons makes the finished canvas extremely flammable. Not a good idea. Spend the extra, and buy a good grade of treated canvas (like Sunforger) to start with.

    Removing slime mold from cooperage

    Basicly, you probably can't completely remove it, even with chemical cleaning. Wood is too porous to allow for effective chemical cleaning unless it is already fairly clean and free from infection. With slime mold, even filling it (and I mean filling, not rinsing) with boiling water several...

    Cure for nasty canteen taste?

    I use a half-moon canteen; I figure, up until a few years ago, I was a British subject, and in the militia, so who else would I get equipment from? I cheated, and got a stainless-steel one; it's covered in blue wool.

    shootable or deathtrap?

    Loyalist ships the lock and stock/barrel separately for the same reason, as they are only shipping "parts", not a complete weapon. I've had lots of luck with my Loyalist Arms Doglock. There was one issue at the begining, which they fixed no problem. It shoots reliably, although I have no idea...

    pc coffee maker

    Fugawee's website has a recipe for Civil War era "extract of coffee". http://fugawee.com/coffee.htm If I drank coffee, it sounds interesting!

    Packs, haversacks, equipment and camping?

    The full load of the infantry soldier hasn't changed for over 2000 years; the Roman Legions carried about the same amount. As the years pass, what goes into that load has changed, with armor taking up less and less, and other things being carried instead. Easy to see why, too; that's about the...

    Attaching a sling to a firearm without the means??

    Any chance of a pic of this or anyone else's suggestions? I'm in the same boat, and don't want to install swivels.

    Aging a stock

    I realize that, truly, but come on here, I'm trying to replicate decades worth. Just letting it happen is going to leave me with a brand-new looking weapon for years, a weapon that by rights is supposed to be over 60 years old for the primary era I am doing.

    Aging a stock

    For a variety of reasons (and eras), I went with a Loyalist Arms Doglock, since I wanted an older type weapon. What can I do to make the stock look older, without simply beating it up? The barrel will remain bright, as this piece is intended to be one that has been well maintained for over 30...

    Cheap BP cleaning solution

    Just water, even cold, works fine. Some guys I know like to use boiling water for the last rinse, on the idea that it heats evgerything up and evaporates faster, but I oil right after anyway, and if I am worried about the water I'll just spray some WD-40 first.

    Loyalist Arms Doglock

    I had read that the tan French flints were more accurate for the era I play in, so I got a few even though they are more expensive ($3.00 vs. $1.75-$2.00).
