    Why brass over copper?

    Alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. "A naturally occurring ore composition in China was smelted into the alloy known as paktong or báitóng (白銅) ("white copper" or cupronickel). The name "German Silver" refers to the artificial recreation of the natural ore composition by German...

    Why brass over copper?

    Why does brass and to a lesser extent, iron, German silver, seem to be used exclusively for the furniture on a muzzle loader? Why do I only seldom, if at all, see copper being used for that purpose? Was or is it too soft? Was it more expensive than an alloy?

    No, you can't ship black powder pistols or handguns via the USPS.

    I volunteered that I was sending an old double bit axe head. The gal said it was dangerous and had to check regulations, so I took it to a different post office and said nothing. I have sent many BP items, but that time just wanted to see what they would say about sending an axe head.

    No, you can't ship black powder pistols or handguns via the USPS.

    Many rules and laws are unenforceable, enacted to make some members of society feel warm and cozy inside. Like purchasing a permit to change out your kitchen faucet, don't get caught doing that without that plumbing permit. Indeed, certain encumbrances are intentionally put into place for no...

    Painting a stock.

    Sealer? Use the epoxy used for coating table tops or building boats. Very slow setting, oily like. Put that on and it will soak in the wood sealing it. You will see where it disappears on end grain. After it is cured, sand and paint.
