    What is the proper name for "possibles bag"?

    When I was a young kid 50 some years ago, I was really in to "Mountain Men". I read everything I could get my hands on including some very old books (which I no longer have). I bought my first BP shotgun in "68". If I remember back, the "possible bag or sack was a large bag where one carried a...

    Point of aim movement

    I think you're right but slotting the underlugs should accomplish the same result.

    Point of aim movement

    I don't see how keys would behave any different but heat and moisture , yes.

    I messed up a barrel.

    Sounds like too much "steam" and to long of times for that much humidity.

    Well, now I've done it!

    I just ordered a Southern Mountain Rifle "kit" from Pecatonica. I built 3 rifles from kits back like 40 years ago. They were cheap kits and came out OK. I recently refinished the CVA Kentucky flintlock rifle. You guys have inspired me to bigger things. I have always wanted a "real" long rifle. I...

    So, I got the bug to make a horn.

    Finished it with a strap and fiddle peg stopper. Here it is with the bag I made a few weeks ago.

    So, I got the bug to make a horn.

    I don't really know how to scrimshaw although I always liked it. I searched online a learned what I could. I traced an elk picture with a pencil onto the horn and then scratched it in. The mountains and trees I penciled in freehand. For a tool, I made one with a large nail that I wrapped with...

    So, I got the bug to make a horn.

    Must be the light. Soaked it standing in dark brown Rit dye for about 20 minutes. The natural color on the end of the horn was that blond color.

    So, I got the bug to make a horn.

    Thanks guys. Lot of help on here and YouTube. I made a shooting bag a few weeks ago and a primer. When I get a chance, I'll post up some pictures

    So, I got the bug to make a horn.

    You might say I was inspired by the guys on here that have made horns. I just got back into Black powder shooting after a 30 some odd year layoff. I had a horn that was a generic store bought horn with a brass nozzle that had a measure built in. Don't worry, I was smart enough to never pour...

    GAME WARDENS

    Wardens (and cops) are just people like everyone else. Some great guys and some Richard craniums. I have friends that I have hunted with who are wardens and been hassled by others. We had two wardens search our Suburban and horse trailer after an unsuccessful trip once and the warden accused me...

    Black powder

    To be honest, I forgot there was powder still in the horn(s). I had 4f in a small horn for priming a flintlock and 3f in a larger horn with a wood end cap on the large end an a brass valve on the other. I could tell no difference in it and new powder from the container even after 30 plus years...

    Black powder

    Curious to see if it's still like that now that as it is now made by Goex?

    Black powder

    The 3f Dupont I just finished using was hanging on a wall in a powder horn for well over 30-35 years. It worked just like the new stuff. FYI, the Grafs store brand is made by Goex now. Says it on the bottle.
