    I use this method myself. Works great.

    TVM Woes! :(

    Nearly 200 comments and NONE from TVM unless I missed it ? People make mistakes. Good companies make it right when that happens. Great companies follow these forums and make adjustments to how they do things if they see they have unhappy customers. That's all I have to add...

    Finished a Lexington inspired horn

    johnhalf just wondering if you got my reply to your message ? It was a few days ago. Thanks

    Finished a Lexington inspired horn

    Amazing ! What would a horn of that quality cost ? I actually have a 7th generation grandfather who was there that day on April the 19th 1775. Sgt. Seth Brooks, under the command of Captain Isaac Davis. Davis was the first officer killed on the first day of fighting.. Might be a customer for...

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    My understanding is that it's Phosphoric acid which is the same reason Coca Cola works to remove lots of nasty stuff.

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    They are tin plated as well and I was afraid anything stronger might attack the Tin or at least discolor it.

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    Molasses is something I've used in the past and I agree it works great. I use it in a 5 gallon bucket, about the same ratio to water as you posted. Here are some railroda lanterns I cleaned that way. They were covered with surface rust.

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    Thanks guys. It's finished as good as I can get it. Plugged the nipple hole and filled it with Vinegar for a couple days and then scrubbed it out. Whatever rust I may have missed will have to get shot out.

    Looking for shooting bag patterns

    Very nice. Thanks

    Looking for shooting bag patterns

    Very creative. But I want something more traditional and I already have the leather. Thanks

    Looking for shooting bag patterns

    Thanks. I'll check it out.

    Looking for shooting bag patterns

    I don't expect y'all who make this type of stuff to give up your secrets but I've been making things with leather for many years just for friends and family, mainly carved belts, wallets, pocketbooks and that sort of thing. I have some nice leather that already has a finish on it I got somewhere...

    Made a bag today

    Nicely done. Where might I find these patterns you speak of ?

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    Been working on fixing other issues first. This thing was a mess. Trigger spring was missing so the only way to get it to hold was to push the trigger forward while pulling the set trigger to the rear. Not all that easy unless you have 3 hands. It's just an L shaped bent wire spring and not...

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    Thanks I'll give that a try. Not real worried about the Browning. It needs to be redone anyway.

    Severely neglected CVA .45 caliber Kentucky half stock

    Did some trading with a friend of mine and ended up with an older CVA Kentucky half stock rifle. Missing the nipple but the threads are fine. The biggest issue is the bore is fairly rusty. What do you folks use for derusting a rusty bore ? Can't tell at the moment if it's pitted or not until I...

    Identify badly butchered Tennessee rifle

    Well I left a bid of 40 bucks on it just to hang on the wall and someone wanted it more than I did. And so it goes..

    Identify badly butchered Tennessee rifle

    Thanks guys. It's at a local auction house. I might try to grab it if it's cheap.

    Identify badly butchered Tennessee rifle

    Have a chance to buy this relic and I have no clue if it has any value at all. It's beat all to hell, had the barrel cut off and sights added, rusty, missing the hammer, etc. The only markings I can find are on the lock plate. J. A. Mitermair if I'm reading it correctly. The stock is typical...

    Canadian Brown Bess, ID

    Very cool to have a part of your family history. One of my cousins has 2 Brown Bess muskets from the Revolutionary War. The one that belonged to my 7th generation grandfather, Sgt Seth Brooks, was converted to percussion at some point in it's life like yours was but sadly it was very neglected...
