    Wormholes in old Powder Horns

    I have a grand old orginial that has three worm holes in it that were repaired at some point. They seem to have used lead formed to the hole size and pecked into the hold. Actually looks pretty neat the way it was done. Id peg with lead (seems to be period), plug with wood,or even work out a...

    Masonic Scrimshaw

    Looks good. BP residue is much more natural than India Ink. More of a 'flat black.' I would guess (no docum) that the same method of coloring in lines is as ancient as powderhorn carvings themselve.

    scrimshaw color?

    You can used India Ink. This give you more of a 'standout' to your color. I personally think its too black though and doesnt look 'exactly' like 18th cent contrast. A little to 'crisp and modern' you might say. What I do,,,,my method,,,, I Draw my art work,,carve it, wet my finger and rub the...

    Masonic Scrimshaw

    Iv seen 'a few' originals with the masonic 'emblem' carved on them. I dont know enought about masons to know if there are other symbols used on originial horns??? But, yes I have seen the main masonic emblem on 18th cent horns.

    Reloading directly after firing

    Hes lookin' out for me to I guess Mike. Iv often (for a historic feel during 'plinkin') loaded as FAST as I could. Now I dont peer down the bore, but I do still have all my fingers. When normal hunting I blow down the bore,,,as much to clear the vent as anything. With the thousands shooting...

    New reenactment circle?

    There is a group in Lexington, Virginia called the Blue Ridge Regulators. Emailed them and waiting on an answer to how they run their game. Might possibly be what im looking for. Though shooting live ammo is considerably better than burning just powder.

    New reenactment circle?

    I understand that a persona of a non-soldier does not fit good in Civil War reenactment. Are there groups that do any reenactment were an character of post-civil war would be welcome to participate as an ex-spy/guerilla/mercernary type guy. Perhaps very very early cowboy groups? Wanna carry my...

    rust on barrel bore wipe down

    WD-40 may not be historical correct, but its sure the best treatment for the bore. My guns cost too much to ruin.

    Pan Brooms?

    Agreed,,,if ya gonna use one,,use pig bristle. I just use a cloth tied to a sting that hangs from my trigger guard. It also wipes mositure out of the pan, which a brush wont do.

    1851 Navy

    Can you tell me what time frame difference we are looking at between the 'early square back trigger guard American' as opposed to the "London Navy'? What year would the London Navy have been first started in production? Thanks guys.

    1851 Navy

    Would you folks say the Uberti 1851 Navy square back trigger guard, steel frame is a better quality revolver than the Cimmerion 1851 London Navy, which appears to have a brass frame? Is the Uberti the one Colt was distributing just awhile back? Which would be more acceptable in reenactments...

    1851 Navy

    Moving As Slow As A Tree

    50 years of hunting iv come to this conclusion. Game is not necessarly scared by noise. Of couse if you were absoulty silent that would be better. But thats impossible. But what scares game is the 'wrong' kind of noise. Deer can pick up on someone 'sneakin' in a heartbeat, while at times you can...
