    Pyrites Problems

    Gday Cutfinger, Rudyard has told me about you and our mutual interest. The pyrites problem has held me up as well as the stuff from the local jewellery making store appears to work none too well. Needs must... Oh and Happy Christmas

    tschinke pan operation

    having built a tschinke I cannot find a good picture showing the working of the pan opening mechanism for the pan on pulling the trigger. the end of the wheel spindle appears no to be eccentric or have a cam. I made mine with a cam and it appears to want to destroy the cam on a regular basis...

    'Scattergun' loads in medieval handgonnes?

    Both Rudyard and I are old enough to be classed as medieval but I cant imagine people thought any more of risking their necks unecessarily than we do and your gun was a rare and wondrous tool back then so putting stones ( nails were very expensive ) down it would be out of the question?

    'Scattergun' loads in medieval handgonnes?

    It dont matter what size hole it is to me my friend - if its pointing at me Im not sticking around to see what happens next! Good morning Rudyard , hope all is well?

    Blueing

    Yes I imagine that would work very well. Ive been using those anti static duster cloths when the missus has finished with them. I wonder weather a fine nylon brush would work?

    'Scattergun' loads in medieval handgonnes?

    I think all the reasons hold up well and probably no one can and will have a definitve answer which is a shame because finding these things out is half the facination of this game!

    removing solder

    So how do you get it out of the pores of damascus? The old guys did it and they only had rudimentary gear and I dont believe it would have been commercialy viable to scrape and file every barrel
