    Handmade entry pipe question

    Anyone who's made a handmade entry pipe, how did the transition from pipe to tab look? My first attempt here. I feel like there is too much slope in the transition. Figured I'd get opinions before wasting a chunk of brass.

    Hand Saws

    I've been using a Japanese Ryoba saw for ripping the excess wood from blanks. It takes me forever and I am constantly fighting the saw to keep it tracking. I'm no expert on saws but I think the thin blade is part of the tracking problem. Was looking at getting a more traditional style rip...

    Appropriate Fix

    I have an old German percussion target gun that has a loose cock fit on the tumbler shaft. I removed the cock and put a few shims on the square shank of the tumbler and it tightened right up. Is there a better fix for this situation?

    Two Feathers Ball Bag

    I recently picked up a handmade ball bag from forum member Two Feathers. Prior to this I had always stowed all my kit in my main bag and fumbled about reloading.

    Firearms of the Fur Trade by James A. Hanson

    Does anyone have this book that can comment on the content and quality? Sounds like a good book with a lot of information, but is also fairly expensive. Would like some first hand knowledge before spending that much. Not a lot of info to be found as far as reviews and such. Thanks
