    A Guessing Game

    I had a short shooting session with my H&A Minuteman two weeks ago. Here's the gun. I haven't shot this gun in the last three years. So, I set the first target out at 35-yards to check the sights, and took five shots. Here's that target. I picked up the patches after each shot. Can you...

    Those LONG HOT SUMMERS

    I’m a paper puncher. I know some guys don’t care much for shooting paper targets, but that's something I really enjoy. I can spend long hours on our hunting club’s rifle range playing with different guns and loads, and putting holes in paper. The problem is – those long hot and humid summers...

    Just For Kicks

    A Day With The Hefty Hawken

    I haven’t posted a shooting report in quite a while. But here’s one I couldn’t resist. I bought this gun in 2015 and named it The Hefty Hawken. The elderly gent I bought it from said he had it made in 1976, but he couldn’t remember the name of the builder. The only thing he seemed to be sure...

    Center Drilling a Hole in the End of a Rod

    Do you need a perfectly centered and straight hole in the end of a solid rod? I did. I wanted a 10-32 threaded hole for mounting a cleaning jag on a quarter-inch brass ramrod. I don't have a lathe, so here's how I did it with a simple cordless drill. THIS EXAMPLE IS FOR A 1/4" ROD. The system...

    Can I Get a Giggle?

    I just ran across this screenshot that I captured and saved a few years ago when I GOOGLED "Ampco Nipples". I think bing.com did an excellent job of blurring the "adult content" images.

    Ballistol Substitute

    Can a water soluble oil be found at any of the nation-wide retailers (Walmart/NAPA/Oreilles, etc.)? If so, does anyone have a brand name I should look for?

    FOR SALE Who Needs A Summer Project Gun?

    I bought this thing at a gun show years ago with the intention of installing a breech plug and playing around with it. But it seems I’ll never get around to doing anything with it. I think it was Snyder breech loader that had the breech cut off. It’s a smooth bore around .72 - .75 diameter. The...

    Make Friends With A Roofer

    Besides usually being pretty nice guys, they remove a lot of old soft lead roof jacks and will probably give you some. Then, after a few hours of dirty nasty smelly work, you can have a nice supply of 1½ lb. nice clean ingots.
