    Why Muzzle Down?

    Having lived in more humid areas, most people I know claim it helps to keep ambient moisture from collecting at the breach

    Which story is most movie worthy?

    I would say Joe Meek for sure. John Colter is also an interesting character to me. Reading nearly 20 or so biographical accounts over the last month and it is completely fascinating how many of the names listed in this thread are all connected in one way or another

    Ramrod sizing

    Hey everyone Unfortunately I have misplaced my wooden ramrod for my TC 50 Hawken. I generally use a brass rod at the range so I'm not overly concerned other than the fact the gun looks goofy without one. I plan to turn one out of hardwood but can't remember the size. Does anyone know? I'm...

    Using Tallow

    I just made a batch of bone broth and now that you mention it, it is pretty land unless salt is added. Thanks for the input.

    Nice. I've been seeing a lot of conversations about making your own lube. I'm wondering what ratios are used and supposed it just depends on the desired reault.

    I'm not sure. Maybe so.

    Using Tallow

    Yes. Unfortunately a lot of it has phosphates and a lot of unnecessary stuff added to it. That's a good point though. Processed meats, such as bacon, have a lot of stuff added to it. At least the commercial stuff does.

    Using Tallow

    I know they say animal fat is pretty much a perfect source of nutrients. So it only seems to make sense that it would have plenty of salt and other minerals in it. I was just curious. Thanks for the reply

    Using Tallow

    I heard one time that tallow is great for leather work. However, I've also heard that it can harm leather due to a certain salt content. Is any of this true?

    Plugged Bore

    1/4 x 28 grease fitting and a grease gun is all you should need. It's surprisingly easy and doesn't make near the mess one might imagine. I had a ball stuck in a TC Hawken that sat for a year and a half. 2 pumps and everything popped loose. Was able to ease everything out with a standard vall...

    This sight system

    Thank you. Yes what you describe as needing a detent is what I've seen in various pictures and videos. Just flip the leaf up and it automatically locks into place. This is definitely not the case with this one.
