    FOR SALE TScottW99 account has been hacked.

    Singapore punishes theft with lashes from a salt water soaked cane. Islam has an effective punishment of it's own. Both have low recidivism rates compared to Western methods. They are getting better results. Just sayin'

    A new rifle requires a new bag

    For this style bag I use 3 or 4 oz. leather for the bag and 5 or 6 oz for the strap. The liner is glued to the leather prior to stitching using Barge All Purpose Cement. It requires only a very thin layer of Barge to securely bond the canvas or mattress ticking to the leather. The 3-4 oz makes...

    Hunting pouch question.

    I've found that veg tan cow, 5 oz for the strap, and 3 oz backed with canvas or mattress ticking for the body of the bag to be durable, light and supple. I've made more than a dozen bags, the first one more than forty years ago and they are all still in use.

    Hearing Protection?

    I have always used ear protection. A lifetime of exposure to firearms, jet engines, motorcycles, guitar amps and power tools would have left me deaf otherwise. At my age I thankfully still don't have tinnitus like some I know. The downside is that so many of my age related peers turn their...

    Let's see your Belt or Rifleman's knife

    My forty years old bear jaw knife is a good skinner, feels very nimble in hand, consequently it gets carried and used more than any other except perhaps my Russel butcher knife. The bowie comes in handy for heavy duty task around camp. I hafted both but the blades were commercial made.

    Tallpine's knife

    I recently acquired this patch knife from Tallpine. His craftsmanship is exceptional. The blade and handle is well designed, and the blade is wicked sharp.

    Tallpine's knives

    I just received a patch knife from Tallpine. Prompt shipping and good seller. The knife is an exceptional example of craftsmanship. Worth the expense for such a well made knife. When my budget will allow I'd be happy to acquire another knife from him.

    Made a range ramrod support.

    I do the same. Under pressure our performance is a reflection of our training. With the exception of sighting in a new rifle I always shoot from the pouch and use the rifle's ramrod. My range rods are only used for cleaning. I'm not claiming my way is the only right way, it's just the way that...
