Poke the short end of the rod through the hole tip up the blade and pull a stuck rod. A half inch hole width would handle .50 and down quite well.

For those of you out there who peruse the BP sites, please be on the lookout for an Escopeta and a unique SE bow and quiver of arrows. It is a reproduction Spanish Escopeda (Spelling?) Spanish for "shotgun." It was common in the early and mid-1700's. Is a short variety, and one of only 10 in the state. Has a butt plate that looks like a war club, which is the most distinctive feature. The lock mechanism is outsite the lock plate instead of inside the stock. He also had a bow and quiver stolen with some arrows. But what he wants back the most is the musket. It was stolen between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. from his camp when he was set up for a festival in Wachula (south of Bartow, Florida) this past weekend. The person who took it had to dig through his stuff to get at it. The gun and bow belongs to Jim Sawgrass of Florida. He does native interpretation for a living. Not only was this his favorite gun but part of his demonstration and, thus, how he feeds his family. Put up a holler if you see something like this. There is a police report on the items so report anyone trying to sell the above described stuff. - -C.Kent - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 20:22:45 -0800 From: "Lee Newbill" Subject: MtMan-List: New Braintan Website, price looks good This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_012A_01C2E80B.F9DD4F30 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hallo Just passing on a new website that sells braintan for $12 a foot. = Haven't purchased any, but the pics don't look bad.
