So if any of you out there could help me, it would be great appreciated.

I wrap a rag around my Hatfield right in back of the lock so the cleaning
fluids that come out of the touch hole won't run down the stock and then
just keep running wet patches in the barrel until they come out clean. Works
good, just takes longer then doing the cap locks where you can remove the
barrel.

Dave,
For field cleaning I'm only interested in removing as much crud from the
barrel as soon as is practical and as simple as possible. I plug the touch
hole with anything handy, pour a bit of water (hot if you got it) in the
barrel, then using tow on a tow worm or any patching material on the ramrod
swab the length of the barrel a few times, then pull the touch hole plug and
plunge it through. I repeat this once or twice until the water runs clear.
Following that, a few dry wipes, finishing with a bear greased patch.
For more thorough (i.e. at home) cleaning I do the same, except I use water
nearly boiling hot and spend more time in the process. After the barrel, I
remove the lock and scrub it, as well as all mating surfaces, with a small
brush and hot water. I warm the lock to drive out the moisture, check that
all the metal rub surfaces are still polish-smooth, and then everything
metal gets a wipe with bear grease before reinstallation. I'm amazed at how
much crud gets around the lock. The stock gets wiped with Kramer's Antique
Improver.
I'm sure others will add their own methods as there seems to be a limitless
variety, using a wide array of interesting products. For me, water and bear
grease is plenty.
Tom

Hello the camp just order a 80% beaver felt but need some sugestions.
How high should the crown be?
Should it have a band on the out side "hat band"?
Should it have a sweat band on the inside?
The guy that is making it made hats for Ronald Regan and George Bush
Some of his equipment goes back to the 1850s
Thanks Mark Roadkill Loader
