    Track of the Wolf

    I just knap them to my liking. Gives me opportunity to practice another skill and saves time shipping back and forth.

    Green River knives

    I’m a big fan of my green river 3” and 4” paring knives. I use the 3” as a patch knife, and the 4” takes on a load of work in the kitchen. I found it to be sharper and maneuver better in my hand than the paring knife in the kitchen block set. I also have one style called a sheath on TOTW...

    Kibler Colonial Rebore

    That is a truly impressive looking bore…62, geez! One of these days I’ll send some worn TC barrels for a rebore. Do you plan to use that as a SG or still lob round ball? Would like to hear about the pattern (with pics!) if you run it as a shotgun.

    Tacks…were they an Eastern thing?

    I wondered the same recently. I'm not a fan of tacks (or fringe) but I never tried to figure out their origin. I love the look of a well stained and finished wood stock with or without carving. Anything else is just...tacky.

    Browning a lock?

    As someone who nearly lost a fly I 100% agree. I’ll add, take a picture of the lock components before you do any disassembly. Jim Kibler has a very good video on disassembling and reassembling his lock which will set you up nicely for working on just about any lock…watch it several times...

    Browning a lock?

    Ricocheting springs make for a long day in the workshop, the mainspring vise is oh so much fun (and you need more gear anyway, you know you want one, don’t try to fight it!)

    Broken ram rod

    I’ve trickled a small enough amount of 4F under the nipple that could push a dry ball out about 10-15 ft. Pretty impressive that a little amount can have that sort of result.

    When Did the Shotgun Become a Shotgun

    The term shotgun is complimentary to the terms handgun and rifle-gun. Few are aware they all are acronyms related to their hunting use… SHOTgun - Something Hovering Over There gun. Popular for birds and squirrels. RIFLE-gun - Required In Forest Lands Everywhere gun. Preferred by big game...

    SOLD Reduced $60 shipped. Eastern Longhunter Legging Kit

    I got this kit from Crazy Crow last year. The kit I received came with two hides, but zooming in on the instruction sheet I see that it could come with 1 or 2. Whichever it is, it’s their German tan leather which is quite nice for lazy stitch beadwork.

    Help with removing front sight T/C Hawken

    I tried, and destroyed, a brass punch trying to move a stuck T/C front sight. Colorful sweet talking both during and after the attempt didn’t help either. Ended up using a sight pusher. Micro turns on the pusher followed by a tap on the pushing claw(?) with a brass hammer. After a few micro...

    Howdy! What part of Virginia? There’s several clubs scattered across the state with semi regular events.

    While you wait, binge read from 1974 forward. You won’t be disappointed.

    .32 VS .36

    I wrangled up a .32 Green Mtn drop in for my TC Hawken years ago and it’s a dream to shoot. Front heavy as all get out though so it’s more better on a bench rest than hauling through the woods to hunt.

    Woodsrunner, Is this normal for walnut?

    I’m reworking a Pedersoli walnut stock at present, and using Tried & True to finish. I got a pint of it to use for a Kibler kit. Could work on walnut and I had some free time so…figured, why knot (there’s two wood puns for you).
