    Which Co. to buy kit from

    I think Wick is right by suggesting Jim Chambers kit . You get a lot better kit in my opinion. I am going to order a Virginia kit from Jim and hope to find someone who can build it for me to honor my great great Grandfather who fought with the ole wagoneer from Virginia in the Revolution

    Bullet lube.

    A while back I started to save beef grease with the thought of makeing my own bullet lube by mixing 1/2 beef grease with 1/2 bee's wax.
