I like to do things for people, I never expect anything in return but sometime years later I get a surprise.
I helped a guy's son learn about traditional archery 10 to15 years ago, the son was interested in bow fishing so I gave him all my bow fishing supplies, I didn't plan to ever use it again, later I made the dad a bow string and never thought anymore about it.
Yesterday he called me, he said a friend had died and left him some B/P stuff that he didn't have any use for and wanted to know it I could use it, of course I could.
He dropped by and loaded me down with .490 balls, lots of .50 cleaning supplies, a horn, 3 tins of caps, hundreds of .430 conicals, ball starter, several new in the pack hot shot nipples and a bunch of other B/P bric-a-brack.

Nice gift, Eric. A good friend of mine gave me an old JoJan Multifletch and a Young feather burner about 40 years ago. He got them from an old friend that got too old to shoot. I think he probably bought them 40 years before he gave the stuff to my friend. I still use both.

My nephew was a bit of a wheeler dealer years ago, niding on impounded cars, salvaged goods and the like.
He gave me a large box of BP items he had no use for, mostly for muzzle loading rifles. Most of it I still haven't found a use for since I only have C&B revolvers , but hope to one day. If not it will go in with my BP revolvers and other stuff to be passed on to an heir.

Yep I have found over the years "what goes around comes around " nice gifts for sure. :)

The same guy called me again Saturday and said he has some more stuff for me. Because I build guns he brought me a set of Gunline round barrel bedding tools in 4 different sizes that were left to him.
I guess a round barrel fowler is in my future builds.

Wow, those are some nice gifts, Eric.
