I have had better luck with 44/40 blueing. I degrease the area with wood alcohol then heat the area with a propane torch. Not a lot but just too hot to touch....
... You might also look at the Ted Cash straight line capper. Track of the Wolf recommends that for the Remington revolvers. Look on their websight under...
Hi Deb, I use the cold blue for touch-up work all of the time and it works great. Use Q-tips, and clean the area to be blued with rubbing alchohol, then let it...

Hi All, Just thought I would drop in and let you guys know I ended up getting a new Traditions penn. rifle. It's fairly nice.. but not without flaws..however I...
Hi Kenny; The .36 would be good for small game and target shooting. I wouldn't use it for deer though. You would want to use a .45 cal. or larger. Michigan law...
I don't think you'd want to use a .36 to shoot a deer since that's not a lot of knockdown power and you may end up with it dying elsewhere. I've heard the...
There are bunches of TC barrels for sale on eBay. And I believe some states require a certain minimum caliber for muzzleloaders. Check replacement barrels...
Hi Kenny, The T/C Hawkens come with 15/16" diameter barrels, and they can be had in .54cal. Green Mt. makes a great drop in barrel in either 28" or 32"...
