    Extreme Fouling

    I spent 13 yrs in the army. One thing that amazed me from early on was the use of Barbasol shaving cream on the carbon fouling in the .50's. It works great but after seeing it I vowed never to put any on my face again. Don't know exactly why it works but it does.

    Help! My breech is stuck.

    Acorn Mush, I am in Yuba City, I shoot with the SML club. I got that damned breech off last night. A friend gave me some oil that worked very well, ZEP45NC, said you can't get it in the Peoples Republic Of California due to the environmentalist whackos. Same heat, same pipe wrench, same 6'...

    Help! My breech is stuck.

    Hello all, I have a cannon that was recently given to me. It was constructed by two very knowledgeable machinists over 20 years ago and I have shot this cannon off and on for the last ten years. The breech was designed to be easily removed and was cut with course square bottom threads...

    Lock tuning

    Croppy Boy, I would welcome the opportunity to help anyone. I wish i Could do it on my own hook, but my father in law is the best I have ever heard of. I would have him do it for free if only I could learn from the experience. I swear he is the best in California at tuning a lock and my only...

    I usually "dry out" my charcloth and tow in a frying pan for a few minutes before hitting the trail. In damp conditions I'll do it daily while on the trail. Charcloth.

    TVM

    Hey Paco97, (and all) I just got done "repairing" a gun from TVM for a friend of mine. The wood work (AKA inleting was fine) but the lock was plain unsatisfactory! The rifle would actualy fire only on every third pull of the trigger which resulted in a rounding of the sear and tumbler...

    Pyramid Tents - Any Thoughts??

    Hello All, A buddy and I bought one together. In short WE HATE IT. Being over six foot tall has it's advantages but none of them apply inside a pyramid tent. The only place you can almost stand up is right next to the center pole. Even if set up with exterior poles I just don't like it...

    Black walnut hulls

    TNtrapper, PM me. We have 200+ acres of black walnut. I'll send you as much as you need. Might take me a day or two to get back to you. October is the best time to get the huska (when they fall off). This will get you the most product per shipping cost. I've used green ones still on the...

    WANT A BBBBIIIGGGGG HAWKEN

    Hello, If this comes up twice I apologize. I met some fellows years ago in N.Ca. who were affiliated with the Feather River Buckskinners. The had built some "novelty" hawkins. If memory serves me true one was a four bore and the other was over an inch. They were plugging away at a long...

    leatherman hunter possibles bag

    Hello, I agree with the previous post. I bought one, it was expensive. It was very well made and without any other considerations it was excellent. However, IMHO it does not represent what any "common person" would have carried. As noted before they stand out like a cold sore. I sold mine...

    How do you carry your shot pouch?

    Hey Riverat, I got a sweet brain tanned shot pouch with a loom woven strap made by a guy named Greg Weeks. It has a measure built into the turned wood stopper assembly. All I can say is look out for this guys stuff, he'll be famous someday! I use the strap that came with it rather than...

    Stupid Question/Poll about REAL Black Powder Sales

    Hey Pennypincher, Just a thought. I belong to a couple of clubs. One of them buys a couple of cases at a time. We have a member who attends from out of state and picks up the powder (avoiding hazardous shipping fees) and brings it to us. We are able to sell it to members at $12.50 a pound...
