    Gun cleaner

    My dad sells the stuff. I only just started using it recently. I used to use dish soap and warm water. I also tried out the black powder cleaner from TOTW. This stuff works better than them, I was actually a bit surprised by it. Not trying to make a sale just telling you about my results.

    Gun cleaner

    Been using this stuff to clean my rifles, faster and cleaner than anything else that I have used so far. A couple drops of it in some hot water is all you need. 1 patch to scrub, 1 to rinse and 3 to dry. Called Texas Refinery Corp "Big Red."...

    New Shop and Bench

    I have vises and bench grinders on their own pedestals, for light work. Welded a post to a semi truck rim, then mounted the vice to post. Semi tractor trailer brake drums make good bases too. Seems like vices are never in the right place. Made an anvil like that too, forged the horn out on a...

    Trying my hand at a TOTW patch knife.

    You could countersink a bit deeper, then sand down to the rivets to make it thinner. If you countersink deeper make sure you have a small washer between the rivet head and your striking surface when you set the rivet. That handle is going seem a lot smaller once you get it shaped anyway. Just...

    Shooting without wiping

    Shot a new .40 cal flinter today for the first time. 42" round radius colerain. 40 grains fffg goex, mink oil lubed patches, patch thickness .010 and .395 ball. I'd get 15 or 20 shots through till I'd get some fouling issues. Ran an alcohol swab thru the barrel and I was back in business...

    Aluminum Anvil?

    Aluminum anvils are made for the farrier trade. The base is aluminum, the striking faces are steel. You really don't need much for an anvil to fit shoes, especially if you hot fit shoes. Lifting a hundred pound anvil in and out of the truck all the time gets old. These anvils have been...

    Long winter

    Pretty sure these are albinos, pink eyes and noses. Never used to see them much til maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Now there are always a few of them around, you can't legally shoot them, which only helps them to reproduce this trait. The DNR must like promoting mutant genetics I guess.

    Long winter

    Been watching these guys for a few weeks. Had 16 in the yard the other day. They're getting hungry.

    squirrel hunting safety

    I'd load up the 45 light on powder. Make sure there is some wood for a back stop or take shots at the rats on the ground. Just use what you have and be careful.

    Flinter Suggestions?

    Cost about 900. Don't know how it shoots yet, waiting for the weather to warm some, temps haven't been much above 20 degrees here since November. Too cold for me to be dialing it in.

    Flinter Suggestions?

    40 cal from Mike Lange. Not the best pictures, but you get the idea. Cherry stock, left iron in the white.

    Flinter Suggestions?

    Doesn't sound like I will get my new coon rifle til next week, Mike is getting froze out of his shop. Hopefully I'll be able to put up some photos next week.

    Flinter Suggestions?

    As a matter of fact Mike Lange is building a PA flinter .40 for me right now. He said it would be finished this week, I could post up some pics if you would like.
