For any folks who haven't seen a can of Elephant Powder here you go. Can on the left is a plastic container. Somebody in a previous post was wondering if the powder was shiny or flat black. All shiny in these 2 cans.

Thanks for the feedback. I do know that I will not use it again in this condition. Just not worth the hassle. 4th of July is soon so it might find some use .

I "inherited" about 4lbs of Elephant Black Powder in 2F. Date code on bottom of 1lb cans is most 22/00 to 004/01 timeline. Am shooting it in a TC Hawken 50 percussion. Anyway, in the shooting of some of the bp recently I had quite afew misfires. I.E. , snapped cap but no explosion of bp in...

I forgot to mention that I did do that. Bumps still there. Thanks for mentioning that.

Not sure if this is the forum for this statement/question. But here is the statement. I purchased a Andesa Spain 50 cal hawken replica from an individual. Was a kit gun some long time back. Did a nice job on the kit, except one issue. And I was told about this at purchase time. He is an...

Got it cleaned. Not kidding, I bet i ran 50 patches thru, jb bore paste, bore brush, and finally the Flush-Out and Wipe-Out. Finished with a bucket of warm water and soap. Patches finally clean. They must not clean the barrels at all at the factory. Drill, button, and that is it I'm thinking.

Yes bucket of warm soapy water.

Just added.

Santa (me) brought me a Traditions Crockett Kit this past Christmas. After some manufacturing issues and sending the kit back to CT for their gunsmith, all was well. The Traditions folks in CT were very prompt in helping out I might add. I'm just about finished getting it all finished up...

I have purchased rawhide from Montana Leather Works in Billings, MT. Excellent source for all kinds of leather. Prices are very reasonable. I use rawhide for many things. I think it looks good. And very function-able for certain things. Go for it.

Well Sidney I certainly was close to putting in vise and straightening it out. But gave Traditions a call and they wanted it back. At first the Customer support person said put it in a vise and straighten it. But after conversation about other issues with the kit he said send it back. They...

Put this williams peep on a month back. No front globe just a blade. Haven't shot it yet. I like peeps. Age is old. But not real sure as this setup is for me. Ugly isn't it. UGH.!

Montana just last month, Dec 2021, passed law that allows air rifles in .177 or .22 cal to hunt turkeys in the fall of 2022 as well as grouse. There are some restrictions with ft/lbs and speed with each cal. Sounds like fun.

You are absolutely correct Ames. But, like alot of Man tools, some peeps have extras. Yes new ones are not that expensive. May have to resort to that. Thanks and Happy New Year.

Dave and surprisingly he looks alot like me. 😂

Eric if go ahead and straighten the tang, which I don't have an issue with, what about the 5mm hole below the now straightened out tang end. Does the hole need to be filled with something permanent ? BTW, you still building longbows? Met you over there. Your work there was remarkable as...

Anybody have a mainspring vise they want to sell? Have a project that I would like to have one for. Thanks

yup for sure

Santa brought me a Crockett Kit by Traditions. All good. First kit but am good with building and making things, etc. Here are a couple of issues I have so far. Hopefully a member here who has built one of these kits or really just anybody with building should be able to give me some ideas...

8-32 it is. Easy fix. Thanks.
