    how did they make a still?

    It's illegal to make whiskey in any amount without a permit.Google "making moonshine" it will tell you everything you need to know.Corn whiskey was not somethin' that everybody made at home back in the day. A lot of millers were also whiskey makers. You can buy real nice stills off the internet...

    Reminiscing....

    H&R made a MZ too. It wasn't a reproduction of anything though. It looked like their single shot shotgun with a ramrod. I remember the Brownings were nice. I paid $175.00 for my first brand new TC Hawken percussion. Those were the days.

    traditional sling...?

    When I'm huntin' I want my gun in my hands so I can shoot somethin' with it.After I shoot somethin',like a deer,I have a string with loops on the ends that I use for a sling. Slingin' a gun while huntin' is like slingin' yer M16 while on patrol. It don't work too good when things git excitin'.

    cleaning and alcohol

    The only time I ever used vinegar around a gun it took the bluein' right off of my T/C Hawken. That was over 30 years ago so maybe things have changed since then. No petroleum products go down the bores of my MZs. I try to season my bores like an iron skillet.

    Starting load for a 20g trade gun?

    Mike brooks said"about an ounce of shot and an equal volume of shot should be a good starting place." Now I've never loaded a BP shotgun in my life but seems to me a little powder would make this load more effective.
