Powder horns

[11th Corps]

I browsed the web for powder horn components to make my own when I stumbled upon of all things Wal Mart. They offer what they describe as a genuine bison powder horn finished, with walnut cap and plug and a simple leather strap. For less then $30. What do you think of that? Is it a good deal?

I'd think the cool factor of a genuine bison horn should be worth at least $30. And if it can make you happy for only $30, I think that's a bargain.

It might ok. Track of the Wolf Muzzleloaders has finished horns and kits.
One of my dogs found a cow horn out behind our house last year and I made a powder horn out of it. I got the spout, strap and an iron staple from Track for under 20 bucks. Nothing fancy but it works.

I like yours. It has that genuine look to it, like it's been there, done that.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm certainly not artistic by any means. Lol

Looks good. Bang it up a little and rub some dirt and soot on it and call it vintage.

FYI, guys. If you are looking for a Horn to make as a project. Wife and I were at Menard's, found buffalo horns for $7.00. They were in the dog chewy section, are really thick, so it would take a lot of work.

Those dog chews are probably water buffalo horns.

There's a pretty solid inner core on a horn. Kinda like a tooth.
