Glenrock Blue in Glenrock Wyoming does good work. http://gunbluing.com/

I have an antler that I drilled out to hold the powder charge. A hole is drilled in the tip for a leather thong with a knot in it to keep it intact. That thong is attached to the strap of my possibles bag. It is quick to fill with the horn and pour down the barrel. Followed by a PRB that is...

I'd probably ship it ahead and avoid the potential hassle. I would also check if your shipping it out of country for any restrictions.

By the time you got done you would have a Black Hawk that was converted to a Red Hawk.

Just to close this H&H...... My feelings were not hurt. I merely pointed out that calling those of us who wanted a citation "lazy no good slackers" was not a good idea. Winks or not. You don't need a red 40 point word to state your opinion. A simple "wrong" would suffice. I would...

Thank you for providing the citation. I am not a lazy slacker, simply someone who doesn't know how to do everything you professional blog site creatures do. After reading Capsticks method of carrying with the firing pin down it makes sense IN THE ENVIRONMENT HE WAS HUNTING IN. For whitetails...

If you post of photo of it on this board there will likely be a few who know what it is.

I agree. H&H seems awfully touchy about this. "How dare anyone question his comment" is the attitude he conveys. He needs to cite the book and page. It may very well be that what Capstick, who unfortunately is long gone and cannot explain it, had a very valid dangerous game reason for doing...

We have coyotes, skunks, raccoons, feral cats, mountain lions (at times), and an assorment of birds like grackles. We also have a lot of bugs like box elders and wasps.

This is a neat idea. Be sure to check on building permits if your in an area that requires them. Make sure there are no EPA issues with lead involved. You may be required to do some pretty expensive filtering and use a water trap to capture bullets unless your going to only shoot copper...

A thief can get anything in your house if there is enough time. A regular gun safe, bolted to the floor and wall, will deter most crash and dash criminals but not someone who has a cutting torch and time. If you were building a new home with a basement you could build a "safe room" of...

John Barsness mentioned it sometime back. It makes cleaning your barrel much easier and, contrary to opinions, does chemically bond to the metal. How long it lasts is not something I know but it does make for easy cleaning. If your rifle is a dog before the treatment it will still be a dog...

Are you saying you turned the vertical turret in the "down" direction and the next shot was higher?

I have an attraction to older firearms with good wood and polished bluing. Things like a 1939 Model 70, an early Savage 99, or a 1898 Krag thats been well taken care of. I also like Number 1's, 1885's or B78's, or most any quality single shot. It must be partly the function and feel...

Maybe you should buy a .375 H&H. It will kill deer at the ranges you note and gives you something special should you ever want to shoot big stuff.

I use Kroil (after reading about how good it is on cleaning bores). Never used 3 in 1 but did use WD-40. It gummed up my side by side shotgun's triggers after a couple of years. With Kroil I store the guns barrel down as I am afraid of it creeping into the wood around the tang or trigger...

Hickcock unloaded his revolvers every day, I am not sure he fired them. It was a ritual of a careful man whose life depended on those guns working. I have left my cap and ball revolver and my percussion rifle loaded with black powder and with pyrodex at times for a couple of months with no...

I too have just reviewed my inventory...... .22 on the small end 12 ga. on the large end. a bunch inbetween.

I think it looks really good as is. You did a good job with the refinish. I would probably leave that one alone.
