    Range Rod Oopsie

    there is an interesting twist on this problem! (Grin) last night, I put a drop of penetrating oil on the snapped off jag part. This afternoon, came down and looked at it, took a #11 knife blade and tried to move the jag. To my surprise, it easily moved, and came right out. hurray for my 30 some...

    Range Rod Oopsie

    Thank you all! Much easier to cut off and retap. Rod is plenty long enough to account for several disasters! However, I ordered an extractor from McMaster Carr. It might be here today. I’ll add using it to my skill set. I have oil on the tip to help make it easier. Shipping costs more than the part.

    Range Rod Oopsie

    Most of my jags and cleaning accessories date from more than 35 years ago. Back then, I had not heard of not using all brass jags, with no steel in the threaded part. (Homer Simpson head slap here)! My all brass jag broke off just as I was starting to run a patch down the barrel! No problem...

    Old family horn

    Had not thought of that, but looking at it, you may be right, as it is very rough on the end. No way I could leave that like that.

    Never seen one of those, but it would have to be a very small pig!

    That would be great! I would love to get info on this horn. All who knew anything are long passed away.

    Old family horn

    I feel that the wire on the spout end is too stout for barbed wire.

    Old family horn

    unfortunately, whoever made this did not finish sand the end of the plug, it’s far rougher than anyone would expect today. It was obviously just a tool, nothing more. But I have admired it since I was a little boy.

    Old family horn

    I remember the horn from early memories, born in 1946. no one in my family, going back to around 1910 ever shot black powder. My great grandpa was a farmer, Civil War vet, perhaps it came from his side of the family.

    Old family horn

    I have no idea how old this is, but it has been in my family forever. My Dad never mentioned anything about it. I would appreciate any info. I grew up in NE Ohio, in the village of Stratton. Nice little horn, scratches apparent down near the plug, which appears to be cherry, but likely v old...
