did you look at Dixie in the knife part, I know lasy year Crow indian suppy had it cut down the center(tip to base) any good knife makeing place should have tons laying around on the floor.
Atlanta Cutlery 1800 883 0300, Crazy Crow 1 800 786 0847, try to get some from Atlanta they have the Nepal guns REAL Enfields,Sniders,Martinis, even Brunswick and near new looking slant breach Sharps with out anything stamed on them Mod 53s, 52cal,40"barrels and who made them for who the CSA? But they have 1 to 200 yr old Kukris so I know they have a lot of officer grade water boo horn thats off knifes they cant sell. hope all this helps. Fred

Try calling Ajax Custom Grips in Dallas, Texas. (800) 527-7537. They are suppose to make their grips in Dallas, so they should have plenty of the small ends of horns lying around.

Most of your knife making suppliers & lots of the ML suppliers have horns as such. Moscow Hide & Fur has horns of various types, Texas knifemakers, Koval Knives, etc. You can buy the entire horn or a tube or it or buy it sliced. If you buy the large black horn the last 3-4 inches of it is usually solid so it will easily make a muzzlecap or if you want to wrap the horn on a form the other parts will work, several ways of doing it......

You might look at the Moscow fur co. in the links section and you can also look a[url] www.texasknifemakersuppily.com[/url]. I have seen whole water buffalo horns for sale at both places. Ooops :shocked2: Sorey birddog dident see that you already mentioned them. But I was just at texas knife makers and they have it.

I should have stated that I had already tried texas knife and they told me they no longer carry it. I did find it at knife and gun, a whole horn is on the way! Thanks a bunch. Bye the way, I really like this forum. Seems like a lot of knowledge and some very nice people here.
