    Ordered a Clay Smith Trade Gun kit

    I tell my wife of 54 years " It's gun parts." Now I have more "gun parts" than I know what to do with; or what I can finish in my lifetime! Yes, I have a Clay Smith 1740 trade gun kit, too.

    Flat horn with brass spout

    You need to, of course , cut off the tip. Then cut down one (or both) sides heat to about 330 degrees F and press between two boards using clamps or a vise. Cut the horn in to a flat blank. Then you can reheat and place in a spoon mold. This can be made from two hinged (at the end) boards...

    Strange rifle

    This system was not uncommon when you consider all the military flint to percussion conversions that used this system during the middle of the 19th Century.

    Flat horn with brass spout

    All excellent advice from my old friend and trading partner. He is a modern pioneer in horn work. I have known him from when he lived in Green County and we were members of Cresap's Rifle Company (BAR) during the Bicentennial. I gratefully have half a dozen of his powderhorns and a hunting pouch.

    I still have my OA stick after 60 years. No notch and afterwards I refined the arrow shape and painted it red and white. As to the ordeal I remember very little.

    Cartridge box

    The hole pattern is fine. There was no standard pattern, especially for 18th C. militia use. The pattern and number of holes would be determined by the size and placement of the holes and the radius of the wooden block's ends. That said I have never seen a "hair on" bearskin flap! Sounds like...

    My Christmas present from my wife… the GREENLIGHT!

    No way would that be a comparable test! I won a .54 cal. Colonial in a raffle and already had a .58 cal. kit. I picked up the new beautifully finished Colonial by Andy Thomas and immediately knew it wasn't a .58 by the extra weight: however both balance beautifully; and neither one is unwieldy,
