    Hole Through the Barrel

    As was mentioned before, remove that barrel and replace it with a new barrel. The old barrel could be cut-up to make candle holders, or pistol barrels. Another option could be to make a canoe gun or a blanket gun, with a very short barrel after you cut the barrel off behind the hole. I did that...

    Who can relate

    My work area gets like that periodically too. Every once in a while, I stop, reset, put stuff back where it belongs, throw away the trash, wipe off my counters and begin again. This is my main work area, immediately after a reset.

    Black powder or Pyrodex

    Sometimes people say they can't afford something because they don't want to sacrifice anything else. I have known people that say they can't afford a vacation, but they have plenty of tattoos, cigarettes and beer. I have kept a budget every year for the last 45 or 50 years. It is flexible, but...

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    I once hung a cast iron skillet from a tree branch and was shooting it with a smoothbore. It worked great until mom caught me. (I was 14 years old). I got into a lot of trouble and she never used that skillet again.

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    I believe it was implied that Jemimah got married and moved away. Still, it was odd that they never even mentioned her in the series after that.

    No. The third crate is full of M-16's.

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    The Daniel Boone series was never good at closely following the exact history timeline or historical accuracies. It was/is still a good show for entertainment, and I still like it overall.

    Loading block verses loading from the pouch? Which is faster?

    I usually shoot from the pouch. I also usually use a loading block. To make my stuff more easily accessible I put everything I need to shoot the gun in my pouch, or it is hanging from my neck. Anything that might be needed to maintain the gun and/or fix problems is in a smaller rifleman's pouch...

    Worth it to save it?

    There is plenty of information on the internet. You have many resources on this forum. If you don't attempt it, you will never gain any experience. My first muzzleloading rebuild came by happenstance. I was in a gun store and a fellow customer was trying to sell the store a badly neglected...

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    Names get butchered over time and language barriers. There are 15 variations of my last name. It was originally Probus, then Probst, Brobst, Propst, Provost and so on.
