horn trade

[sweed]

We killed the fatted calf!    Had some nice little horns soooo.. any body interested in building one for you and one for me. Your choice which, don't care. Just want a very simple using primer horn. You take the other and fix it like you want. Take them both, and fix me a primer horn from something you have. If it holds powder, and throws a prime that's all I care about. They are setting in an ant bed right now to be cleaned, so it will be spring fore the'r ready. Heres pics

Looks like no takers sweed, Well I can't let you hang, so if they get cleaned up sometime this spring--send 'em to me. I'll make you up a horn. I've got plenty a chunks of left over stock scraps.  Walnut or maple ?  Are you right handed ? PM or email anytime....Tom

Will keep it in mind Horner75 but gunmakers got first dibs. They won't be ready to ship till summer.  Got them in a fireant bed to be cleaned up. Once they slip what should I do to de-oderize them? Any  thing special. We just put them out in the sun (throwed um up on the roof) when I was a kid.

Sweed,  I don't like to bother with the ant hill thing.  I take a metal bucket and fill it up with enough water to cover horns and just put on a hot fire to boil for 30 to 60 minutes and usually the cores just pop out and then I'll change the water and fill again with a little sweet smelling dish soap and a couple tablespoons full of bleach and boil another half hour. ____ Then take horns out, rinse off and let dry a couple days.
