First, I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I had a post about underhammer percussion rifles deleted, as it was deemed not a sidelock, and therefore, inappropriate. I doubt I am the first person to think of this, but I have not seen any mention of it in previous posts, so here goes:
When I work outdoors, splitting firewood, handling rocks, bricks, etc, I wear out a lot of gloves. It is usually my main hand glove that wears out, with the offhand glove getting much less wear. I use top quality deerskin gloves, and while looking at a pile of slightly used off hand gloves, I realized that the finger tips made ideal frizzen covers. I also found that the sides of the fingers made excellent jaw pads. One glove made enough frizzen covers and jaw pads to last a year.
