    Don't use wood ramrods!

    About 10 years ago a friend of mine told me that a large hickory tree blew over in his yard and wanted to know if I would clean it up for him and he would just give me the wood for firewood. I went over to his house to cut it up and noticed it was the straightest hickory tree I ever saw, not a...

    Kentucky Pistol Kit

    Thanks guys. I'm sort of thinking Dixon's will be my best bet at finding all the pieces I'll need. I saw where TOW had a bunch of pistol parts in Nickle Silver, (thus my question about nickle and german silver), so if I can't find it at Dixon's I might be able to get some pieces from TOW. As for...

    Thompson Center Flint hawkin

    Built a 50 cal T/C Hawkens from a kit in the early 70's. Used it until about 3 years ago when I built a Lancaster 54. Was very reliable and never had any issues with it. Wouldn't even begin to guess how many PRB's I shot out of it. It also shot maxi balls well. As far as price, condition would...

    Cold smoking question

    Does cold smoking cure the meat to the point where nothing else is done to it to consume it? Or do you still have to cook it to consume?

    Patch thickness

    Could be from a bunch of different suppliers. If you want to know the thickness find some one that reloads they will usually have a micrometer can use it to mic the thickness of the patches.

    Shooting shot

    Thanks Capt. And I'm sure the rate of twist would have a lot to do with how fast it opens up the shot pattern. Just curious and thought there was no harm in asking.
