    Priming flask

    I just finished up a little priming flask. Whitetail antler, ebony end cap, poured pewter ferrule. I'm trying to decide whether to keep the crude scrimshaw, or sand it off. I made this as a prototype, thinking I could sell them. After I figured out what I have in it, and my time, I'd have to...

    Best round ball mold?

    I really like the ones made by Larry Callahan. I have two of them, and been extremely pleased with them.

    Powder horn funnel

    You might laugh at this .. but I just roll a small piece of paper into a cone, throw a piece of scotch tape on it to hold together, and start filling. Been doing that for 40 years. To fill my Colt pistol flask, I do the same, but I cut off the end of a 300 weatherby mag casing, to make a little...

    Left eye dominant, right hand dominant?

    Back in the late 70s when I shot competition trap (with an unmentionable) there was an old boy who was right handed, left eyed. He shot his rifles right handed, and shut his left eye to get the sights lined up. Shotgun, he shot left handed, since both eyes are imperative ( hell, you could use...

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    What I find amusing, is that many of the "Hawken" reproductions look a whole lot more like a Dimick rifle, than those of his major competitor, the Hawken brothers. Both were in St. Louis, and were after the same market.

    Toeplate detail question

    I stole this picture from another thread, because I didn’t want to highjack a for sale post. This is an original Ohio rifle, showing the detail of the buttplate meeting the toeplate. I’ve never seen one where the buttplate was filed to match the toeplate; always the other way around. Seems...

    Carrying pre lubed patches

    I keep mine in an Altoids tin. Not historically correct at all, but it works. I lube my patches with olive oil.

    Wire inlay hunter's star?

    Very nice, Dave. I kinda figured that if I had thought of it, somebody else would have too.

    Wire inlay hunter's star?

    I was thinking of doing exactly that. I have a piece of scrap cherry around somewhere... I was just wondering if anybody else ever had the same idea. The rifle project is a few months out, but I like to have everything planned out well in advance.

    Wire inlay hunter's star?

    Has anyone ever done a hunter's star with only wire inlay? Or even seen one, for that matter? I'm thinking it would be much less glaring than the typical brass inlay, for a relatively simple long rifle.

    People overestimate how often percussion revolvers were reloaded...

    Yep. My granddaddie's other grandfather went around armed even better. He was also a Civil War vet, having served in the 20th battery of the Indiana Light Artillery. After he moved to Sumner County Kansas right after the war, he never went to town without carrying an Ohio school double...

    People overestimate how often percussion revolvers were reloaded...

    My mother's father's mother's father rode in Company A, of the 7th Kansas Cavalry. After the war, he continued to carry an 1851 Colt until his death in 1911. He only loaded 5 cylinders for safety, and never carried all the requisite "stuff" to reload. He was once questioned about it, and he...

    Patch/utility knife and turnscrew.

    I made this patch/utility knife out of an old handsaw blade. Deer antler grip. It is kind of based on an early 18th century Scottish knife. Seems to really hold an edge. I decided to put the sheath for it on my possible bag strap (also made by my hand.) Then, just because, I made the little...

    FOR SALE Wanted : small flint lock

    Here is the back. Never used. Lock screw holes have not been drilled, or tapped. I purchased it back around 1988 for a rifle project, and realized it was way too small for the intended purpose.
