Does anybody have a pattern for a tie-on sling for my trade rifle. I don't want to put swivels on it if I can help it.

I was looking at a .58 smoothbore trade gun at a rendezvous recently. I was told that it was 24 gauge. What kind of loads would you use for this gun for roundball and shot loads?

That would be Mark Baker.

I am going to make a cows knee out of elkskin or some commercial tanned cowhide. What is the best way to waterproof them?

I pulled out my rendezvous gear and one of my tin cups had rust in it. What is the best way to keep them from rusting in between uses?

What makes you think that clown was an experianced Buffalo Hunter?

I am going to make a backpack that Mark Baker describes in his book. The straps are made of harness leather. How does this differ from regular leather. Is it the thickness or the way it is tanned? Any help would be appreciated.

In both of the True Grit movies and in the book they talked about corn dodgers. Is this a real thing and how do you make them?

Whatever you do don't take it the Pawn Stars! They'll just give to Chumlee to shoot. One of these days they will blow up one of their antique guns. :haha:

I read all the books in this series up to the one where Titus was involved in an ndn uprising in New Mexico and was rescued by Mormons. Are there any more in this series? I really enjoyed them.

I'm not sure if this topic has been addressed before. Has anyone used a minie-type bullet in a muzzleloading pistol for hunting? Given the relatively fast twist in most pistols would they be accurate and powerful enough for hunting?

Where can I find out more info on your leather canteens?

Stickbow.com has a bunch of articles on making traditional arrows. Including preparing feathers for fletching. Stickbow.com

Regarding the movie Walkers, I read somewhere that no company made repo walkers when the movie was made. They were actually hand built by a prop house. That would account for the different cylinders (Cartridge and Cap) that were used.

I was reading an article in Muzzleloader that said you could bleach commercially-tanned leather (the orange stuff) to make it look more like brain- tanned. Has anyone tried this method?

I've been using an old muffin tin for years. They fit nicely into my Lee pot. Another nice thing is that I can pour only about 1/4 inch of lead into mold to make lead "coins" that I put in my trekking gear. You can put one of these in a ladle and melt the lead over a campfire to make a couple...

I'm looking at a longhunter knife made by Jeff White on Ebay. The steel is ANSI 1095 hardened to Rockwell 59 (HRC 58-60). I don't know enough about metal to know if this is a good type of steel. I'm hoping that some of the members of the forum might be able to help me on this. Jeff White Knife
