    Yellow Jackets Nest

    This past weekend I was moving some stuff around on a back shelf in the barn. I saw this old ammo crate that hadn't been touched in better than 30 years. I thought, wonder what is in it so I pulled it down off the shelf and opened it. And to my surprise, yellow jackets had been making it their...

    Idea for Small Range Box

    I found these small wooden boxes at Army Surplus Warehouse. They were originally for the WWII telephone repeater. The wood is 3/8" thick with iron corners, rubber gasket seal, heavy duty steel hinge and latch. It appears that all hardware is mounted with brass screws. It's a little pricy at...

    Referring to a Smoothbore as a Smoothie

    I see this term from time to time in reference to no particular smoothbore weapon and was wondering, when did it start, was it common terminology back in the day, or is it just a nickname? What was the original terminology for a smoothbore in the mid 1700s? Musket, trade musket, shotgun, other...

    Turkey Shoot Win with a Colerain Turley Choked Barrel

    A friend and I attended a local turkey shoot this past Saturday. There were three relays of 15 shooters each, and targets were set at 30 yards.

    Remington Foil Lined Percussion Caps

    When did Remington stop making the foil lined percussion caps? The last I remember buying was in the early 1980s in the PX. I still have some I bought about 1974 with a .98 cent sticker on the back.

    Crockett Kit Tinkering

    I've had this kit for several months and started tinkering with it about 3 weeks ago. The Beech stock was a real bugger, might as well been made out of Sweet Gum. There were several small knots that really dealt me fits. After I finally had the stock about as good as it was going to get...

    Just noticed that Midway USA is offering free shipping for orders of $49 or more. Don't know how long it is good for, last time it was only for a couple of days.

    Daniel Boone TV Show's Take With a Ferguson Rifle Theme

    Watched this Daniel Boone episode last night, "The Imposter" S4-E16. Although in no way historically correct, it's easy to see that the script borrowed heavily from the idea of Major Ferguson's Flintlock Rifle. Hollywood at its best, but I still enjoyed the episode.

    Historical Accounts of Tomahawks

    Matt Easton references British newspaper accounts and other historical sources regarding tomahawks, mainly Colonial, but covering the 18th and 19th centuries. There is a commercial just after the intro, but fast forward to about the 2:47 mark for content.

    Leather for Over Powder/Over Shot Cards

    Has anyone used or heard of leather being used for an over powder or over shot card? Since I'm in the leather manufacturing business, I've given this a thought a time or two. I have any diameter punch that I need to make the appropriate size for shotgun use. Just wondering if there is any...
