Who knows what this is ?

Do you know the “Offical “ name of this item ....and what’s its used for ?



It’s is 8 inches long.

A mask for Hannibal Lechter (spelling)??

I might as well take a guess, it is a cover for a "Pig Castrator" you know its coming, might as well be first...

A new hampshire thong.

A stone thrower.
Or a throne stower.

Action cover for a flintlock? Or the piece that’s missing from buttless chaps. Lol

Yup....now what is its Offical Name ?

Face mask for live action hog wrastlin

Got me there ness. Can’t think of it.

Looks like it takes a while to get it off for a shot.

No, he got the good style. You just untie the rear tie and spin the whole thing down underneath... The rear sight is still visible over the front tie string.

If that makes any sense.

Does that keep your priming powder from getting damp Nessie or do you still change it out every so often?

I don't use a Cow's Knee. When still-hunting in rainy/snowy weather I keep the lock under my armpit. When sitting in damp conditions I'll keep the lock under the bottom edge of my coat.

I have trouble with 4F getting damp resulting in ignition failure. It happened to me twice last season. Both times I had a nice fat doe broadside and all I got was from the flinter was a nice shower of sparks.

I've been thinking about seeing if 3F will work as priming powder and be less susceptible to drawing moisture out of the air.

Yup, it's a cow's knee because it's shaped like a cow's knee (imagine that). I have a leather one like that but swapped it out for one made of oil cloth. The oil cloth is more waterproof and folds up smaller in my shooting pouch.

That is simply a beauty!

It keeps rain droplets from messing things up. And in damp conditions ...I put 2F in the pan....it absorbes the least amount of moisture...and still goes bang ! But if you don’t have 2F ....3 FFF is better than 4F in damp conditions.

Frigging beautiful!!! Got the same, almost. It's a mirror image of yours (your trigger is on the wrong side ). .45 cal. 42" Green Mountian barrel. Custom made by Bem Richards (Kentucky Corps of Long Riflemen). Tried to post a pic but my smart phone is only as smart as the user...

JCTunnelrat....I’ve been shooting a .451 round ball ...015 patch...she’s tight ,but doesn’t cut patches. I can send yah some to try.

what did I win? lol!!

2 blue line tickets to next weeks Penguins Vs Bruins playoff game !

I got one of them plastic boxes that go over the action to keep the damp out of the powdah on rainey days. Couple of my buddies do have the cow knees though. They all work the same even used a latex gloves in a pinch before.

Well if that ain't the bees knees!

And here I thought, coming from Nessy, that was one half of the accessory needed to convert assless chaps to assed chaps.
My second guess was a pig castrator pocket protector to prevent the castrationist from being the castrated whilst walking down to the sty.

yahoo! my first pens game! only pro hockey game I was at was in montreal. shared a taxi with some guy names phil espsieto (or something like that! ) from Burlington vt. to Plattsburg new York. he gave me a envelope with 6 tickets. the other guys in the taxi, one was a espn announcer, the other 2 where on the usa team that beat the Russians.
