    How to “harden” leather?

    If that works for you, great. In my experience a more thorough process works best. YMMV

    How to “harden” leather?

    Skidmore's is good for treating veg tan leather. The cream will add oils to old leather and condition it, but it will soften it as well. Their waterproofing treatment will not soften the leather and is best applied to leather that has been warmed with a hairdryer. I find this works better...

    How to “harden” leather?

    When I make knife sheaths I use 5 to 9 once veg tan leather, let it soak in the sink for fifteen minutes, then dry it off on a towel and let it sit over night in a plastic bag. Then I mould it around the object (which is wrapped to prevent water damage) and let it dry naturally, which can take...

    Where is the fowler listed on their website? I looked all over for it but saw no mention of a fowler kit.

    Smoothbores....

    Here are a couple of illustrations by Peter Rindisbacher, one of his family home with what look like smooth bores hangin on the wall, and one of a Metis family where the man looks like he's holding a Trade gun. And then there is one of a Metis man holding what looks like a half stock rifle...

    Smoothbores....

    Mike Beliveau, as usual, provides some very interesting information and practical proof on the subject here: https://www.mikebeliveau.com/magazine-archive/smoothbore-shootout That smooth bores were inaccurate compared to rifles is something of a myth, but then it depends on context, distance and...

    A 30 Years War Movie: Alatriste

    It's not Viggo's best work, and perhaps they blew their whole budget on his fee. The bottom line is, "Alatriste" has so many historical inaccuracies and over the top bad acting it can't be taken seriously, but as comic book bathos it is okay.

    Uberti or Pietta 1861 Navy?

    You're describing the London model Navy 1861, which tend to be a little more expensive than the replicas of the Colt Navy 1861 with brass trigger guard and back strap. Mike Beliveau has a couple of videos on how to clean them up. If you go through a company like Taylors you pay a higher price...

    Is it uncool to use Pyrodex?

    No offense taken. It was a good one.

    A 30 Years War Movie: Alatriste

    This movie is in Russian, but there are some interesting depictions of the technology of the time time, 1612.

    Is it uncool to use Pyrodex?

    I'm still here. It was an honest question. I learned in 6th grade that I am preternaturally uncool. That was about the time my dad gave me a BP rifle, an uncool break open H&R. I vaguely remember when I learned about Pyrodex and the few people I knew with fancy muzzleloaders thought it was a...

    Anyone have a TRS Baker flintlock rifle?

    According to Balazs Nemeth in EARLY MILITARY RIFLES (Osprey, 2020), the original rifle units of the British Army were armed with "jaeger style" firearms in the 1740s. The mostly German 62nd Foot (The Royal American) carried Jaeger rifles in the French and Indian Wars.

    My First Ball Bag

    Ralf at RSFXLaser products has made leather stamps for me. His prices are good, and his turn around time is very fast. You can also get maker's mark stamps made of steel or brass, but they are expensive. There are lots of videos on YouTube about how to stamp leather. Everyone is different...
