Elk antler "horn"

[Big Sky Trapper]

I havnt made anytthing in a while so it was time. My pour spout on my main horn is pretty good size and causes a lot of wasted powder filling the pan on my flinter. Got to looking around my scrap boxes of goodies and had this antler tip. just about the right size. Ordered a horn fill plug and a 4 grn spout from TOW, drilled the antler very carfully. expoxied the parts in place and done about an hour. Since the discharge tip is pretty fragile drrilled the remaining tip to make a friction fit cover for it. Thinking I'll add a small slip pocket to my bag and carry it there.

Oh and it holds 120 grns of 4F should be plenty and then some for a day of shooting

Hey, I like that too! Here's one I made about 16-18 years ago. I think I will change over to the dispenser tip. And yes, that is a light fixture knob!

Thanks folks.

For the parts look on the TOW cat #16 page 380-381

I used the HPS and HPB bushhing and plug and the PV-1 dispenser. looking about $8.75 materials ordered.

Now what to build next....

mazo thats sharp! I have an elk branch I was thinking of something very similar for salt/seasoning....
