i`m sure there are a lot of real prizes on here commenting.........;)

Looking for suggestions on materials to use. Most things that small seem really bendy. Maybe a high carbon rod tempered to a spring with a ball end?

Smells like muratic but not molasses. SDS sheet protects name of chemical. Just don`t believe it`s molasses or any other baking ingredient. I use evaporust and it`s very effective.

Evaporust smells like muratic acid to me, not ‘lassie buns. Have my doubts about molasses being the active ingredient.

Hope to have a child who values the attic finds i leave behind as much as you value those your father left for you. I have some hope for one and maybe a future son in law may be interested. Youngest daughter announced her nuptials last Friday. Have not physically met the young man since he`s...

In my experience, aluminum will shrink about 1/16 of an inch over a 6 inch length. I think your idea will work if you pay close attention to what you are doing, which you obviously are. you`ll need to oversize the patterns a touch, and need a cutter to finalize the shape of the cavity after you...

When i post something for sale- it’s marked no holds, no delivery. Item held only with full payment via EMT.

Didnt Clint Eastwood or Burt Reynolds have one in the movie- City Heat? The scene where they one up each other during a gunfight by pulling out pistols with longer barrels? First movie i saw in a theatre

Thank you for your thoughts an prayers.

Here’s an update. trigger is in and works. Pinned thru the wood. It is a bit heavy on the pull, but not terrible like my Ardessa. Needs a bit of shortening and a curly-q at the end. May even have to make a new one after the wood is shaped under the lock. Live and learn, and i`ll be able to use...

on my way back home to Newfoundland. Got my fathers affairs in order for my mother, had some good family visits with all my brothers. yesterday i gave my mom a few lessons to shoot dad`s 41 cal unmentionable smoothbore- she wanted to make sure she could shoot the coyotes at the chicken house and...

Searched Regina Sk, for percussion caps. Found a bunch but the store would only sell me 4 tins. 1 tin of #10 and 3 of #11. Cabelas had none even though their web sight said they had 47 units in stock. Got lunch at the Italian Star deli, and bought some black pasta and imported maraschino...

Soon, i will be retired too. Depends on the job i end up with. My take home pension after deductions will be about $150 less than my take home pay after deductions if i retire right now. But each month i stay in adds more to the pot. And i am over-paid for the amount of work i actually do, but i...

put baseboards in the last part of the rec room, put the trim molding up in the walk in closet, got door jambs around the bathroom pocket door. Only took two years.... fitted the trigger on my .22 cal flintlock project and burned a few priming pans full during testing. no vent drilled yet then...

The the lock plate and tumbler inlet, the rest of the innards should be done some time this week maybe. My Dad passed today, will be flying to Saskatchewan on Saturday for the funeral. He was 81. Will have to pass some time before then. Hope to get a few pictures up before then

Is he still among us? Hope so. Have not seen any posts for a while.

In undiluted form it is quite corrosive to ferrous metals, especially if allowed to sit on it for any lenght of time. Will also cause copper and it`s alloys to oxidize i use it on dishes, my black powder guns, and also degrease car parts with it.

Had a red truck once. Didn`t take to it. Only owned black trucks before and black trucks since Dodge Ram guy. That is a nice frizzen...

took a nipple out of an 1839 enfield barrel. it was eroded so much there was no where for the wrench to grab. Soaked it for a month in Ed’s red, warmed it up with a propane torch and put the vies grips on. it came out like it went in yesterday

Thanks for this. Gives me an idea of what to look for. I guess those two brass framed .36s that i talked about on an earlier thread, one of them suffered from this. That’s why the guy wouldn`t disassemble them.
