    removing graphite

    First time trying to tumble some round balls. I tumbled them too long with too much graphite. I I throw them back in the pot, will it burn off the graphite? They actually still shot good at 25 yards but I just don’t like looking at them

    Traveling with pistol and powder

    Folks got in the habit of loading shot gun shells full of black powder to take to Africa. Customs got wind of it and several people ended up in a south african prison for several years for sneaking in a class A explosive. I would expect TSA would go through your gear with a fine tooth comb if...

    I am not u derstanding what is holding the trigger in place but if is secure, I like your ideal of putting a dowel and using a wood screw

    Alpha gal strikes again!

    When I was a kid is was almost expected any time you went i to the woods you would get covered up with ticks here in east texas. The only up side of the fire ants is I have not seen a tick in 10 years

    Loading stand

    I saw a picture here of a loading stand. I am a long way from being a carpenter but really wanted one. The good thing about building guns and what not for your selfis that the only person you have to please is yourself

    Here is What I Love About Muzzleloading

    i spent 50 years traveling all over the world hunting with a recurve bow. Age finally caught up with me and I just can’t hold up to drawing a recurve and a compound did not give me the rush that my trad bows had. I had played with my BP cap lock guns a little through the years but 90% of the...

    3/32 rig wire ?

    I didn’t think about using a drill bit thanks. I am still on the fence, I could put a dab of super glue in the wood and redrill to the original size

    3/32 rig wire ?

    A couple of weeks ago I let my Fowler fall over and it split the stock. I wanted to be sure all the pin holes lined up so I glued it back together with the gun assembled. Worked great and you have to look hard to see the repair Last weekend my son and grandson took me to a BP shoot and we had...

    Can you guys school me on grades of Hawkens? Quality, value, etc.

    If you can find a t/c that has a replacement green mountain barrel with a round ball twist, you will have a fine shooting rifle and should be in that price range.

    Taking a flintlock i to the RSA

    i have killed a Cape Buffalo in Africa and 5 Australia water buffalo with a 85 pound recurve. The deal with big critters is getting through the ribs. Bust through them and they are just a wal mart bag full of shaving cream until you hit the ribs on the other side. Elephant with a bow, you have...
