    Questions about all the knives and axes

    Okay, Nock, because of your response I now realize I'm using the wrong term for what I had in mind. You are right: a drop point was probably not uncommon....even some of my "historical" knives have a bit of a drop point. I NOW know that what I had in mind are CLIP blades, which I mistakenly...

    A Black Powder Hunting Tale of Woe and Misery

    Maybe you accidently double-patched while loading? I've done that, and it's very difficult to get the ball down the bore.

    Questions about all the knives and axes

    My opinion: Stay away from knives with hilts and drop points. If you want to see some period correct knives, go to Wick Ellerbe's page on the internet.

    Lowes painters tarp to shelter/ tent conversion

    Cheap painters' tarps or drop cloths are the reenactor's friend.

    Full **** in stand

    Most of the time when I'm hunting it is quite cold and I'm wearing gloves. I find that when I cover the lock and lock area with my left gloved hand while moving the hammer from half- to full-****, the sound is greatly dampened by the glove.

    Who says gun shows are bad?

    casting wrinkly balls

    A brass hammer and a rawhide mallet are overkill. A stout wooden dowel or the sawed-off piece of an old hammer handle does the job nicely.

    REPAIR on RIFLING - old original austrian Jaeger rifle

    That is a beautiful OLD Jaeger rifle, and a spectacular antique! I would be very careful shooting it so as not to damage it and its value. Be careful with your loads!

    Sprue orientation

    There's a simple solution for people who get annoyed by seeing things discussed ad infinatum and repeated questions. It's called "Don't read it!" That way you won't feel the need to make snide remarks about it.
