    damascus and fine twist barrels

    Dave, Thanks for posting the link. That is exactly what I was looking for. Drew's collection of photos and info is probably the single best repository of info available today and he is always looking for additional info and photos. Jay

    damascus and fine twist barrels

    Yes. Varying grades of damascus including Barnard, twist and laminated. I'll try to dig up a link to a collection of photos of different Damascus barrels. In terms of Damascus barrels blowing up, most of the busted barrels I have seen burst because of obstructions not because they were...

    "Flash" rust, again

    Anyone ever use amonia to kill rust? Swab the barrel via patches, then dry patchs, then oil.

    "Flash" rust, again

    So, a light coat of petrolium based oil will kill the rust?

    "Flash" rust, again

    Yes, I know this has been discussed recently but I'm still perplexed. I have a .54 plains style rifle made in 1977 with a Douglas XX barrel. I've only owned the rifle for about 6 months and I have not shot it a lot. After I clean the rifle I continue to get brown streaking on my patches, even...

    And what did we learn today, boys and girls?

    I was so friggin cold I didn't even know my finger was near the trigger. I'd like to tell you that I was staring at a big stack of bone and had buck fever but the reality was my fingers were numb. Lesson learned: set trigger is for target practice and the rear trigger is for making meat...

    New-b cleaning question?

    I'm a little frutrated with my cleaning process. Getting the crud out is pretty easy but getting patches that are pure white is almost impossible for me. No matter what I do when I think I'm done cleaning and send a dry white patch down and back I get brown streaks on the patch. Rust? Left...

    Peroxide?

    Anyone use peroxide as part of their cleaning routine? Dropped my nipple in a small jar with peroxide this afternoon and WOW did it clean off the crud.

    Keeping a charge in my Hawken?

    I don't want to sound lazy by not wanting to have to clean my rifle after every hunt - that's not the case. Bottom line is I don't want to discharge the rifle, in the woods or at my truck, at the end of the day. It's not so much about disturbing game (I've watched plenty of deer not react to...

    Keeping a charge in my Hawken?

    Wouldn't it be easier just to pull ball and dump the powder than to discharge and go through the cleaning process? Not as fun but easier.

    Keeping a charge in my Hawken?

    Heading out next with with my .54 Hawken. Figure I'll be hunting on/off over the next 2-3 weeks (hunting, MI, OH and IN). How long can I keep the charge in the rifle? How do I keep condensation from taking the gun in/out of cold/warm and dampening the load? Thanks,
