    Waterproofing canvas

    I have an extra canvas rifle bag from TOTW I'd like to try waterproofing - can I brush with boiled linseed oil and let dry, or will this make it too stiff? Should I add some pigment while I'm at it?

    Darkening/antiquing brass

    I have some bright brass on my pistol that I need to "antique" or patina so it's not so bright. What's a good product to use? I'd like a deep rich color, not something light. I've heard you can use copper sulfate dissolved in water, but is there a commercial product I can try also? I found...

    Rusted Parts (Screws) on Siler Lock

    Haven't shot the pistol I made late last year for a few months. Surprise, suprise! The cock jaw screw and the tumbler screw were completely rusted. I couldn't move them no way, no how at first. Doused with WD-40, let sit, then attacked the lock with a vice and large screwdriver (filed tip)...

    Shooting Box, where to find?

    Forum search turned up nothing. I think "box" was excluded for being too short of a search term. Looking for a wooden shooting box with a built in rifle cradle, anyone know of any good places to look? Would want a box primarily for use with my ML rifles. Right now, I carry all my stuff in a...

    pocket pistol parts - where to find?

    After spending an afternoon at the Frazier museum last weekend, my thoughts keep going back to my wife's remarks at seeing the small pocket flintlocks on display. She said something to the effect of, "I might enjoy shooting a pistol like that!" It was not a boxlock pistol. I'd like to begin...

    Pictures from Frazier Int'l History Museum

    I took the family to the old 'Frazier Historic Arms museum' in Louisville, KY. This place was amazing...most of the weapons here all belong to one man, Owsley Brown Frazier. The collection is worth millions of dollars, with some on loan from the British Museum. These weapons are all 100%...

    Staining maple reveals major flaw

    Well after sanding my pistol stock down to 400 grit last night, I cleaned it well then proceeded to stain it. When I stained it I found a nice flaw in the wood that I did not see before, even when the wood was wet. It's a curly maple stock with nice figure, but right next to the lock there is...

    .32 pistol barrel length and overall design question

    I'm finishing up on stocking my .32 pistol, and I would like your opinion on barrel length and powder charge. I have a 12" .32 green mtn barrel and a matching stock, but I don't know what the best length is for this caliber. I suppose the longer barrel would allow me to use a little more...

    Annealing Brass

    I am wondering if I will need to anneal the brass triggerguard on my pistol project before I bend it into shape. I've heard that brass is annealed analogous to hardening steel, but how hot to get it? I don't want it to oxidize and crumble apart. I've heard that brass work hardens, so if I...

    I received a maple pistol stock from TOTW today, the front end by the nose has two cracks. The shortest is 1" and runs jaggedly through the nose towards the side plate. The other is 2" long and runs from the ramrod channel up towards the lock. They both aren't open very far, hairline cracks...

    Progress on my pistol

    Here are some pics of my first pistol project. I have been accumulating hand tools, but I don't have a bandsaw yet. As you can see, I've had to improvise. I'm going by "recreating the pennsylvania longrifle" and a video by Mike Miller. Don't ask about all the manure on my bench, it's a...
