Beautiful job. The appearance is as you described it. What did you make the ramrod tip of? It doesn't look like brass to me. If it is your aging worked well. Thanks.

Rennaisance Wax is wonderful!! I got my first tin at a collector's show, nearly 5 yrs ago,. I'm finally finishing it & need to restock. I use it on gun wood & metal. Never had a problem w/ rust or corrosion w/it. Good pastw wax (except for cars or basic wood wax seems a memory. I recommend...

Drat. I'd jump on this if f I hadn't just bought shoes for about the same $,- &n emptied This month's kitty. That's a good price on a good book. (Can't wear it, though.)

I'm Still fighting your battle, so I sympathize. Finding a good, contrasting but somewhat neutral background seems to help. Cloudy sun vs. bright sun seems better, as well. I've been tempted to find a skilled photographer & offer to trade instruction in shooting the muzzleloader for a photo...

Duh. I found your info. In my excitement last night,I scanned that post- & promptly forgot that I'd seen it.

I'll find your info in the morning, Maybe I can get my son to help before he heads to work. I'm at his place, building a raised playhouse for his boys. I'll be back tomorrow to confirm that I have the info.

I got your msg, via my phone, re: shipping. $11.65 & 5 days is glorious. I'll take them! I'll send money, however you wish, on the 13th, as i explained. I can't get logged onto MF on my #$%^ phone. Thanks.

If it's greasy "crud" the above advice is good. If rust, try Evaporust I found mine at Meynards big box construction store) works wonders - w/out harming the metal. It leaves a black coating, but that scrubs away easily.

Welcome (also from SW OH) to the addiction. Always watching for shooting companions.

1.54 could mean the rate of twist, 1 in 54", or a round ball twist which might also handle conicals fairly well. By comparison, mine has a 1 in 72" twist, which is rifled for round ball. "54" is probably the nominal caliber, but I'd mike the bore to check before buying balls.

This really stirs memories. As a teenager, working in a NE museum, I found one of those harpoon guns in a storage room. These pictures verify my memory. It seemed heavy enough to help absorb a lot of recoil, but I couldn't imagine handling it- much less firing it in a bouncing whaleboat. I found...

Thanks, George. I'll get it off tomorrow.
