    Beaver tail style shooting pouch PC/era

    Simple question, does anyone know when the “beaver tail” style bag flap came into vogue? Was this a later style bag say 1800s or might you have seen a bag with such a flap earlier say rev war or pre rev? Say something like this.

    In an effort to streamline…..

    That will most likely happen. But in the meantime this was a fun use on an old antler tip and free!

    In an effort to streamline…..

    So, I like shooting from the pouch and that is how I shoot almost exclusively. However I don’t like carrying a bag with 28 pounds of crap! So I was messing around the other day and came up with this little antler short starter powder measure combo. Not sure if it will be good or not but I sure...

    First horn made

    So, I used Aneline die. Then after those I went up to the garage and found an old can of Jacobean stain. Threw some of that over top and sprinkled with a bunch of dirt and sawdust. Let dry. Today I rubbed back some of the tacky stain and fit a staple for the strap as well as a lead button on the...

    First horn made

    Well here is an update it is getting closer. I have aged/antiqued the horn and the rear plug is fit. I plan on doing something else on the rear plug some relief carving or something not sure yet. Also would wampum be inappropriate for a horn of this time period, is that a F&I war thing or could...

    First horn made

    I was lucky enough to sneak away to the hawken classic on Saturday, was hoping to shoot but unfortunately the shooting was rained out. But anyway bought the horn from powder horns and more and wanted to make a horn. Got to cracking on it Sunday and worked for a few hours getting the rough...

    First horn made

    Do you use a fine calligraphy nib to do the engraving? I was using a hobby knife and felt like I had to use a bunch of strength just to get that deep.

    First horn made

    So the other day at the hawken classic I was able to pick up a couple polished horns. Figured for 15 a hour you can’t go wrong even if you do! So here is my first attempt at a powder horn. Still not finished but wanted to share. Body needs a final dye and age final plug fit and the staples...

    Does any one recognize this makers mark?

    I believe it is a modern repro head I got it second or third hand so that is my best speculation. Sorry for leaving that out!

    Does any one recognize this makers mark?

    Title says it all looks like a British pattern hatchet head? What do you think? Anyone recognize??

    To much is made of short arbors

    Well I can see you missed the point, of course the gun will still function! But why on earth would anyone want to have to use or carry around a set of gauges to get the gun to become “accurate for a shooter”? There are literally as many ways to fix the arbor issue as there are was to clean a...
