    GPR question

    A dremmel and a orbiter sander made fast work of my kit Lyman. Just don't rush it. I used Dark walnut stain and lots or true oil on mine. Don't forget to put as much work into the ramrod or it will have a different color. (Personal Experience)

    Lyman GPR. misfire

    I have built 2 kit rifles. One of them a .54 GPR. Both guns required that I heat and bend the hammer to properly line it up to strike dead center and flat. I did this before ever shooting the guns.I have never mis-fired. CCI #11 Magnum caps are fine. Do replace the stock nipple. Treso makes a...

    Old Tandy Holster Pattern Pack

    Reviving this because.... This month's sale at Tandy has 3 Holster packs on clearance for $5.00 total. Most stores are already out and have been for a while, but the Leather Factory in Wichita Kansas has lots of them left. At least they did last week. In any event they can tell you which stores...

    Homestead Inspired

    Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I am just getting started. If I can get a little more time under my belt (which is hard considering I have a full time job)I would eventually like to produce a product worthy of sell. I don't even know how much to price leather products for.

    Homestead Inspired

    Hello all, A short while back Homestead posted pics of what I thought to be a great looking holster. Anyway...I had to give it a try and came up with my own. Slightly different, but inspired. I used a mulefoot for the pattern and used Oxblood dye, white thread, brown suede for the lining and...

    Great shots on the silver screen...

    The good, the bad and the ugly..When (ugly) makes a pistol from parts of several guns and then goes out behind the store to the mini shooting range to try it out. He shoots the target causing it to spin sideways then splits it in two with the final shot. Then the famous words...."How much"...

    rifle kits?

    I have to wonder at these posts where the words "I don't want to mention names" is used. I personally think that if all we here is the good, we are not getting the full picture and an educated decision is impossible. In fact just the opposite. I'm a big boy...I can take it.

    When to clean?

    when I use Pyrodex RS with wonderlube patches, no cleaning is needed ever between shots for me. When using black powder with wonderlube patches then I need to run #13 bore cleaner about every 4th shot. I converted brass bench rods to fit my rifles by cutting to length with a jag permanently...

    little tin containers.Where can I purchase

    I purchased brass containers from muzzloading emprorium. They worked well. One thing to consider....you mentioned using them for lube. I used a brass snuff box to hold bore butter and after a while, I discovered that the bright yellow lube was now bright green...Still worked, but brass has a...
