I found some bees wax, and mink oil in the shoe department. The mink oil is in paste and liquid form. Is iether (oil, paste) better, or preferable, as far as adjusting the consistantsy goes? Mutton tallow, will be extremely hard to get locally. So I'm trying to see if I can come up with a...

I bought my gasket punches from Sears. I am wondering if the gasket punches you guy have bought from other sources, are sharp? The ones from sears are for metal, leather and.... They are well made and all, but they are deffinately not sharp. Haven't tried them on felt, ( out of it at the...

I have a Kassnar, double barrel 12 gauge 3" mag. There is a very small ( but detectable, by wiggleing) amount of side play in barrels. Loaded, or unloaded. There is no up and down play. I am wondering just how dangerous this is. I bought the gun at an auction, and haven't shot it yet. Also, I...

I have a traditional style, caplock, that has no name on it, only a makers mark. It has a serial number on one side, and " for blackpowder only" on top, and the makes mark, and 50 cal. one the right side. the mark looks like two half circles, one on top of the other. The bottom of the top half...
