    Be careful with any harsh chemicals on nice leather. They can break down over time.

    How do you like your horns?

    I've only owned one horn and bought it around 1980 so it's been with me for some time. It has a little scrimshaw on it but stays hidden because the horn bends the wrong way.

    How long would you go when using spit patches without concern?

    Woodsrunner CNC Incised Carving

    The Fowler has relief carving vs incised carving on the Woodsrunner. Big difference. I'd like to see some relief carving on the Woodsrunner. Maybe not the full rifle, just the finial and beaver tails like the Fowler.

    .36 cal rifle kit

    From my understanding, Kibler will not produce custom kits. If it's not in the lineup, forget it.

    riflin

    I once owned an original half stock rifle in .32 made by James Bown & Son in Pittsburgh. The bore was worn out and rough and I wanted to shoot it so I had a gunsmith friend bore it out to .40 and rifle it. It was a great shooter.

I was supposed to text the...

    Scammers.............

    I put an ad in Facebook Marketplace for a lawn mower. FB Marketplace used to be a reliable forum for selling stuff. Within minutes I got 6 or 7 scam contacts to buy it, all from women. One guy was lowballing me from Pakistan. I pulled the ad and gave it to my grandson. This week I got the page...
