Don’t underestimate the hydraulic power of grease. Years ago I had a car that had an oil passage to the rocker arms that was so plugged up no oil would flow. I rigged up a capped pipe with a zero fitting and bolted it to the rocker pedistal. Pumped the zerk with grease and it pushed the blockage...

I agree with using a grease gun.

I thought that I would post a picture of what Eric's traditional brown varnish looks like on my original 1902 suppository pump shotgun. I stripped the plastic appearing finish off of the stock and I've been slowly applying the finish to try and give it a more traditional appearance. I'm happy...

Beautiful. I love the color of the stock.

I got goosebumps when they talked about finding the cases.

The real story is even more impressive than the movie version. You should watch this episode about Sgt. York made by the NRA for the 100 year anniversary of WW1. It is impressive to say the least. 'Over There': The Sgt. Alvin York Story | American Rifleman | Official Journal Of The NRA

I read Eric Kettenberg's article on Muzzleblasts. I followed his instructions and made my own BLO with white lead. I then made his basic brown varnish from his recipe using rosin, gum benzoin and turpentine. I'm currently using it to give a unmentionable 1897 pump shotgun a more traditional...

I agree with Idaho Ron. I purchased the same lead tester that he pictured. I shoot muzzleloaders and I also cast bullets for reloading modern weapons. It was money well spent in my opinion. It takes all the guess work out of lead hardness.

Beautiful work. Can you or will you elaborate more on your process for coloring the barrel and other metal components?

That is a lovely family heirloom. For safety sake, just make sure that it is not loaded. You never know with these antiques.

Located a SS ROA at a great price. Thanks for your help.

The bathroom works well. I just filled the tub with hot water and shut the door.

Hi Gang. I'm looking to purchase a Ruger Old Army revolver and I thought that I would post up something on this forum. I would prefer a stainless steel ROA but I would also give consideration to a blued model. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. I live in Brownstown, PA

Pics please?

Thanks for taking the time to write and photograph the process. I'm subscribed!

Very nice!

Looking good. The horn has nice lines.
