Basic Leather and Buckskin Care
Should you get your rifle butt slides wet – allow the leather to dry naturally at room temperature. If stained use a mild mix of dish soap and water and clean carefully with a clean cloth. Commercial cleansers and chemicals should NOT be used, or they may cause discoloring. In the first year the natural oils in the hide should keep it fairly weather repellent.

After that  we recommend using a spray protector like Tandy, or Mink Oil, which is an excellent protector for leather (NOT buckskin: it will cause matting if used) mink oil will condition the leather and waterproof it to a certain extent. Supplied as information only, your own common sense should always be followed.

Rifles in the Old West

While the six-gun may have reigned as king of the silver screen West, in the real Old West it was a different story.  While the single action six-shooter had its use in taming the West, it was the trusty long gun – a rifle or a shotgun – that was most important.  In the remote regions on the frontier a traveler needed to be able to eat and protect himself and it was his skill with a rifle or shotgun that allowed that.  Even during the latter phases of the frontier, wise wayfarers packed some sort of protection while traveling across open country.
