:thumbsup: That's good to know. I wouldn't want to see a bucket of say....Horse snot, Gorilla snot, Hippo snot, Yellow snot....you know, a variation of snot that you have to get analyzed.

Especially with the new B-boama health care today. Darn too expensive for that kind of snot!!!

Everytime a gun that has some patina added the old 250 year old gun manure comes up, most are just trying to take the new off to represent a gun that has been around a while like grandads 1940 30-30 that you used as a kid in the '60's many times it is treally a needed part of making the gun look right, if you are doing a 1770 persona with a 1730 gun it will not look new it is a matter of choice and there is no high ground on this one, though some seem to nearly break their arm patting themselves on the back about the "honest" use their gun has.Then as now gun maintenance likely varied from person to person, the originals we look at now are 250 years old but we do not know what they looked like after they were 10-20-30 years old and many flinters survived to be converted to caplock.

There's a good example of a rifle with an aged stock on TOW right now. It is #AAI-753 Virginia longrifle. It looks like they used the black Rustoleum treatment which was then rubbed back. The problem is that the barrel and lock wasn't aged enough to match the stock. Also, it could use some more dings and scratches.

:dead: There again, that's when you take it out and beat the living snot out of it!! Then it will match!! :shocked2: :blah:

Just let me add.....Carolina guns had a life expectancy of two years in NDN hands. A Brown Bess was considered "worn out" in 10 to 12 years and was replaced and sent back to the aresenal for refurbishment if it was possible and reissued.

 

More abreviations I don't understand. Could someone please tell me what NDN is? Frank

Some folks would rather write NDN instead of Indian (as in the North American Indian).
