    Anyone sell a smoothbore pistol barrel that is straight and not swamped or oct to round?

    Oregon barrels will make what you want. They did .58 and .50 tapered round smoothbore bar for me. Wait time is a bit long, but quality is good. Also try Numrich arms. I made two pistols from their barrels. I think they were never finished shot gun barrels. You will need a little lathe...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I get the steel, grind to shape, heat treat and install in handle and bolster. They are sized for a possible bag carry. Some are maple, walnut, cherry, hickory or ash. They are really fun to make.

    SOLD Shaker Style Oval Box

    Not sure. Does not appear to be anything substantial. Maybe oil based, but that is a pure guess. It has been in a file cabinet drawer for 40+ years.

    SOLD Shaker Style Oval Box

    I have had this nice box since the 1980s. I just kept a few items in it which today have not value or interest any more. The box is beautifully made of wood, which, unfortunately I do not know the variety. The pictures speak for themselves as to the quality of work. I will ship for $50...

    Leather for workbench vise jaws?

    The plastic, heat molded by a heat gun, holds the soft pine wood on the vice. The pine pieces can be popped on and off easily. .

    Florida shooting locations

    I have recently become a FL “snow bird” and am in need of a location near the Ocala region to shoot. From NY, I am spoiled as I have an acreage there and can shoot in my woods anytime I wish. I brought 3 guns down here and they are just gathering dust. Help, I am on withdrawal. Thanks
