    Armi Sport 1842 Springfield rifled Musket

    I bought a Chiappa/Armi 1842 smooth bore. I like it. I thought about letting the bright steel "patinaize" over time, but I may not live that long. Also, I am a compulsive cleaner, so rust is not in this gun's future. So, I felt like trying a finish of some sort. I found a product at...

    WANTED Ithaca Hawken rifle Needed

    Andrew Jackson was a poor speller, and he once said, "A man has to be stupid if he can't spell a word more than one way." Long ago, when I was in the army, I saw a carefully painted sign that said, "This pier is strickly off limits." You would think that with smart phones and computers, errors...

    One more idea on bore cleaning (sorry).

    My two cents worth: I have a dishwasher, and I never use it. What a stupid and wasteful device! I wish Biden would have them banned. Anyway, my mom had a dishwasher, and I noticed that the colors of certain dishes would fade after a time. The cleaning compounds have some strong medicine...

    Flintlock flinching

    I have some left-over bottle rockets from New Year's, and I need a piece of PVC. I have to try this, and thank you for the idea.

    Homemade cleaning Patches

    I get patch material from International Military Antiques. It comes in rolls, and you cut off what you need. The cloth is flannel textured and very absorbent. I forgot what I paid for it, but the cost is low. The British Army uses it, so you know it works.

    Source for Shot?

    Right. I had trouble finding shot because of democrats and chinese. However, Roto metals had it, and Roto is located in California of all places. I met the mail lady and carried the bag to my house like a good guy. Another time I found my mailbox straining under 20 pounds of pure lead ingots.

    Armadillo

    I had a rabbit hunting friend in the Naval Reserve. He told me this joke: Why did the possum cross the road? To show the armadillo that it CAN be done.

    Tamales in the Southwest

    I also read-up on tamales. Tamales were prepared as a field ration for farming, traveling and war parties. Maybe the warriors called tamales "T Rations." There is a store in Gainesville, Ga. that sells tamales. La Carniceria Tapatia is the name, and they are really good. I thought about...

    Stock from scratch?

    If the original stock fits the parts well, you have a model from which to work. The last inches on a full stock are usually straight and should be easy to do. Get a piece of rather straight grain wood for your first attempt. A set of bench chisels, gouges and rasps should handle the task. Use...

    Help! with cleaning my musket

    About cleaning patches: I use Original British 4 x 2 Military Issue Cleaning Material- 45 Meters. I am not paid to recommend this product. It is all I use for all my guns. It is like a flannel shirt on a roll, and you just cut off what you need. Both sides are the same, very absorbent. The...
