SERVICES by FRONTIERMUZZLELOADING:
PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE RETURN UPS / USPS OR INSURANCE ON SHIPPING.

ACCURACY
Internal Lock Polishing: $45.xx. CVA/Traditions/Siler/L&R locks only. I will polish all moving/mating surfaces and lock plate for a smooth grit free feel. This speeds up lock time and makes it butter smooth.
Trigger Polishing: $20.xx. Work would include the internals of the lock, the double set triggers MUST be polished fora smooth crisp, grit free feel!
Accuracy Bedding: $60.xx. Needed just like a center fire, your wood stock muzzle loader is actually prone to the tang screw/s loosening due to the weaker wood actually pulling the metal parts up and into the wood under heavy recoil! Loose tang screws are a dead giveaway of this happening only after a few shots, killing your accuracy.
Wet Weather soaking your wood stock also is a common problem. "In order to do the job correctly you will have to send your complete muzzle loader so I can bed all parts as one for the best accuracy possible."
Coning the Muzzle: $35.xx. This procedure in present day is known as "coning”. It was known in the 19th century as a "relieved" muzzle and also as a "funneled" muzzle. Once the rifle has been “coned” it can be loaded rather easily without using the short starter.

FINISHES
Barrel Browning: $65.xx. I use nothing but the best to brown all muzzle loader barrels. It’s a slow process which generally takes 3 to 5 days to complete properly. This included sights, tang, screws, etc. If it deals with the barrel/attachment. It is included in the price.
Browning Accessories: Contact for price! Butt plate, trigger guard, nose cap, patch box, Etc. Just let me know what all you have and I will work on a price for you.
Stock Refinish: $145.xx. Have an old beauty of a muzzle loader but the stock is looking a little beat up? No problem! All finishes are hand rubbed from the low gloss, matte to high mirror gloss, I can do it in whatever finish you want. Walnut normally does NOT get stained unless the owner wants it reddish or almost black. Good walnut normally never needs staining.
Brush the Brass: $25.xx. To rid that beautiful rifle of yours and that ugly shiny cheap looking brass, I can also provide a Brushed look to your rifles furniture that will age nicely and cut that cheap shininess out! Stop scaring game with that mirror! It’s a hunting rifle, not a beauty pageant!

TREASURES OF READING
Folks, here are some great books to read, while relaxing in the evening........

Invasion USA: Border War

by William Johnstone(Author)

William W. Johnstone continues his all-new action-packed series torn from today's headlines in which the American people must fight for the future of their country. . .

Not since the days of the infamous Pancho Villa has a foreign force raided American soil for plunder. And when a busload of American schoolgirls is hijacked and taken across the border into Mexico, the repercussions prove to be deadly.

The gang of kidnappers is led by the ruthless crime lord Alphonso Guerrerro, whose daughter is on that bus. His ex-wife took his daughter back to the States, but Alphonso wants her back--it's a matter of pride--and will stop at nothing to get her. Now he's got a devil's bounty of young women to be used as hostages, or sold into the horrors of white slavery in South America if his demands are not met.

But Vietnam vet Tom Brannon has something to say about this. His niece is on that school bus, so he's recruiting a battle-tough squad of ex-soldiers made up from the families of the kidnapped girls. They're going to rescue the girls and destroy Guerrerro and his gang of border thugs once and for all....

NOTE: Folks, every book I review on The MountainGnome, I have read and give my honest opinion. This book is excellent reading IMO!

STARLING TECHNOLOGIES
Custom Built in the USA.
New!! Small Efficient cool running Voltage Regulator available in 2.5amp Max or 4.5amp Max.

If your project consists of circuits that need to run at different voltages, our regulators are the solution.

The Model S-VR-3 can provide a constant maximum of 2.5 Amps of current provided your source power supply can supply it.

Example usage:
Lets say you have an old laptop power supply lying around. It is rated at 14v 5amp, but your circuit board requires 9v. Plug your 14v power supply into the input of our regulator and adjust it to step down to 9v. Connect your 9v board to the output of our regulator and have a max of 2.5 amps of current available. You will need multiple regulators if you need to step down multiple different voltages.

Note: If you connect a power source that is less than 2.5 amps to the input of the regulator, it will not boost it to 2.5amp.

Measures Approximately 43mm x 20mm x 14mm .

Input 3.2v - 24v output 1.25v - 22v

Requirements:
A voltmeter to measure your desired output voltage.

Roast Christmas Goose
By Hallmark Channel
Chef Sam Marvin of Echo & Rig Steak House Restaurant is making a traditional goose for the holidays.

Ingredients for Goose:

• 1 goose, 6 to 8 pounds
• 2 apples
• 1 carrot
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 3 onions
• 2 slices applewood-smoked bacon
• 1 celery stalk
• 3 sprigs fresh parsley
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Ingredients for Stuffing:

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon thyme, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon sage, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 2 1/2 cups crumbled stale bread
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Directions:

Goose

• 1. Soak the cleaned and plucked goose overnight, in well-salted water. (If wild goose is not available, commercially raised goose may be substituted.) Rinse and dry the goose, then stuff with the 2 apples and 2 onions. Cut the apples and onions into quarters before stuffing them into the goose
• 2. Place the goose, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Place two strips of thick-sliced bacon on top of the goose and cover with a lid. (Use foil if lid is not available.) Brown in a 475 degree oven until bacon is crisp. Remove the fat from the drippings in the bottom of the roasting pan, and discard. Also remove bacon and discard.
• 3. Add to the pan: 1 onion, the carrot, celery, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, chicken stock and red wine. Re-cover the pan and continue roasting in the oven at 375 degrees. Roast for about 2 hours, basting often. The goose is done when the meat easily pulls off the bone.
• 4. Uncover and brown for 20 minutes at 475 degrees. Remove goose from roaster. Discard apples and onions. Strain the pan drippings into a sauce pan. Over low heat, thicken the mixture with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Serve with seasonal vegetable and Apricot Stuffing (recipe below).

Stuffing

• 1. In a skillet, sauté chopped onions and chopped celery with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook until the vegetables are translucent.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix sautéed vegetables, chopped garlic, chopped apricots, thyme, parsley, sage and bread. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the chicken stock, then pour over the stuffing and mix.
• 3. Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish, and bake at 375 degrees.
• 4. Cook for 45 minutes or until the center is hot.
