    I have a question about this auction if you guys can help. Some kids on fb said that only the dark brown can be used to make OG moss, but I have always seen people say these could, too. Anyone know?

    Only dark brown Corning gun mounts can be used.

    These are light brown no go .

    FYI you need at least 15-30 pounds to get a batch pulled.

    Unless you can get Abe at northstar to come off some of the metric ton of dark brown mounts he is holding/hoarding

    I got it straight from the inventors email about a year ago I emailed Paul about trying a batch made with boro stick brown . My cost just to see.

    That's when he chatted with me about how it's the chemicals in the dark brown and the way processed that made them special .

    Interesting little factoid about the dark brown mounts , is that they actually pulled tubing just to crush it down and mix with wax and other chemicals .

    Then put in a huge spray tower so they could spray into molds that went through a Lear kiln to heat .

    I was such a og moss head I was willing to pay for a test batch with origins brown .

    I am glad Paul took 30 minutes out of his day to tell me his gun mount story as he remembers it from the first time he found them years ago .

    Neat bit of color history
