    Powderhorn help..please

    I've used pine pitch (older, somewhat drier is better) mixed with either wood ashes or horn dust. Apply, let dry (usually do this in the winter. A few feet from the wood stove dries it overnight.) Then buff off any excess & pitch fingerprints with turpentine or mineral spirits and a soft...

    Spalted vs Curley

    For what that stuff sells for to the knife & guitar makers, and the wood turners you might try putting it up on e-bay before using it to start your wood stove.

    Range report Jukar longrifle

    I've had a brand new one one of these (in return for a favor done) in kit form for years. Never got around to assembling it. It's encouraging to know that they can shoot well. Just the same, I'd really like to use a one-piece stock for the build. Does anyone know of a supplier of a drop-in (or...

    Indian Knife Sharpening

    Indians weren't the only ones using single-sided sharpening. The Finns & other Scandinavian people have been doing so a long time. Here is a link to a page by a blacksmith on grind styles (and a lot of interesting knife topics). http://www.ragweedforge.com/grind.html

    Who makes good quality cast iron cookware?

    True Value Hardware stores list Lodge in their catalogs. You probably won't find it in the store, but they can have it in a week or so for you. Bought a large footed Dutch Oven from them a couple of years ago. It shipped with instructions on how to season it (some items can be ordered in...

    rifle retrofit

    It's listed in the True Value hardware store catalog also. They usually get in a truck once a week, so no shipping charge to you. I believe I saw from approx. .030? to 1/4" dia. x 36"

    Any Info on This Rifle?

    In a previous post I was cautioned about an unsupported drum on a rifle I bought a few weeks ago. Having neither the time or tools to fabricate a new lock for scratch I set about to support my drum. About an hour of fabrication time and a trip to Leominster Micro Welding (Laser welding) yielded...

    Is This Measure Still Available?

    Thanks Everyone! Your right about it being a TC measure. I checked and they offer one that is identical except for the lower section now being plastic (can't make myself do it!). The quest continues.

    Any Info on This Rifle?

    What way would you tackle that: new lock, new lockplate and transfer innards, weld onto lockplate and build up under drum & refinish, other? Thanks

    Any Info on This Rifle?

    Hello, I bought this rifle in Western Massachusetts a few weeks ago. The barrel is 41", .44 cal, 15/16" across the flats. The lock is marked Huston (I think) Inniss. The lock bolt plate is engraved "1963". The patchbox lid has just a touch of engraving and "Rosa". Nice wood, some mistakes I can...

    Is This Measure Still Available?

    I bought this measure decades ago and really like it. I recently added another rifle, and would like to set up another bag so that everything for the new rifle will be there when I grab it. Can anybody identify the measure's maker or a source?

    Shaders

    If you're within driving range of a plumbing supply store, or a really well stocked hardware store you can get 1 1/4" brass tube (lavatory tailpiece) without the chrome plating (Perhaps laziness is the father of invention?).

    frozen nipple

    On occasion when the surroundings or finish won't let me use a torch I've been able to get a stuck screw turning by applying heat with an electric soldering iron (Fit he tool to the job. I have 25. 100, and 300 Watt irons). Aperture sight knobs and other rather delicate things that get gummed up...

    Hello from Massachusetts

    Firekeeper, I shoot at the Townsend Rod & Gun Club, and In woodswalk matches at the Leominster Sportsman's Club (Home of the Wachusett Mountain Men). The Wachusett group is very active, usually shooting every Sunday. As I'm required to be at work every Sunday I've only been getting to some of...

    Hello from Massachusetts

    I've been reading here for a few days now & thought it polite to introduce myself before starting to ask any questions. I built my first rifle from a kit by Sharon (50 cal trade) rifle about 30 years ago. It's a good shooter, and I'm still shooting it in woods walk type competitions (although...
