Older CASH capper I recently engraved. Asking $75 shipped in the USA. Not set up for online payments, postal money order is preferred. Thanks.

Thank you. Will search for a copy. Appreciate the info.

George Schepers was a Nebr knife maker. I knew George slightly as we visited at shows he set up at. I have a small group of SCHEP knives and always on the lookout for knives to add to my display. George was for years a fixture at rendezvous and a prolific knife maker. If you have a knife you...

Thanks. That corresponds with what little I have found on slug guns. A select few still shooting these guns. Guys like Lester Cox were machinists and made what was needed. Would love to get a copy of the notes he left regarding making and shooting slug guns. Ned Roberts book is interesting but...

If you come to Red White and Blue or Nebr Convention we likely have met.

Welcome from Nebraska. I also enjoy antique MLs. Fun to take one to a shoot and be competitive with modern rifles.

Welcome from Nebraska

Nothing beyond the bullet starter and the false muzzle. I would bet originally would have included a mold and instructions all which have been lost to time. The fellow I brought the rifle from was not a shooter of this type of rifle. He said he had bought it a number of years back on an estate...

I’m thinking .350 will be a place to start. Noblade has graciously offered to provide me some to try. I do have the Ned Roberts book it’s a good resource

My tools are very similar. Shows you don’t need fancy stuff. An engravers ball vise can be pricey my tools are very similar. Shows don’t need a lot of fancy stuff. Although a good engravers ball vise is a bit pricey and nice to have. The way I do it some bandaids can be handy too. Not supposed...

This are some good resources on engraving in fact a link was shared on this thread. Can start pretty simple with one with a triangle type point and a flat on that looks like a chisel point. Mine came from a jeweler’s estate. eBay can be a source. GRS Emporia KS is an online source for power and...

Thanks for the advice. I have a Crocker, if it had meaningful easily repeatable scale markings it would be a much better tool. It’s difficult to get opposite angles exactly the same. I belong to the engravers cafe. And the work is eye candy for sure, amazing skills. Maybe one day will go to GRS...

Actually not all that long a few hours. Mainly free hand. maybe should do more planning and take more time but for what I’m trying to do on a capper reasonably happy with the results. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback . I use hand palm gravers, no power. Other Projects have used hammer and chisel. Sharpening gravers by hand is a challenge for sure.

Overwhelmed with the great responses to my engraving work. Appreciate that. Thanks

Looks like two nice rifles. Cal? And have you shot them?

Are there any slug gun shooters out there? I have read reports they are a small and diminishing group.

Dannebrog Ne area. Member of the Grand Island Ne. Actually live fairly close to the range at Cario. Main rifle is T|C Hawken with .40 cal Green mountain barrel. But have others to choose from from antique originals to modern guns. Rifles, pistols I shoot em all. I engrave, forge ,do bead work...
