    Shooting Accessory Wallet

    Elegant solution...great work...I do believe I've found an answer to some Christmas presents for my sons (the leatherwork...the superb brass is work is two light years beyond anything I might come up with!). Thanks for the ideas...both of you! Rod

    Possibles bags

    Finally finished the bag. I used Mr. Albert's plans from his book, then modified them slightly to accommodate some ideas of my own.

    Cleaning with transmission fluid

    Can't speak to the use of transmission fluid in/on black powder weapons, but it's a good choice for cartridge guns of more modern persuasion. I've used, "Ed's Red" for years with great satisfaction. Here's the formula: Equal parts, by volume of the following: Acetone, Dextron lll Transmission...
