    Pondering a flintlock. Educate me.

    Guys I really appreciate the reply’s. Feel like a damn woman and can’t make up my mind. 40 or 45 ? Maple or Walnut ? The stock not really a big deal . I’m thinking the walnut with just an oil Finnish. But if I go 45 do I go SMR or woodsrunner. I don’t know these rifles to make a call. This...

    Ha ha no offense meant. Typing messages never come out like your thinking them. Meaning with all that fancy maple , I still have a love for walnut. Wardawg

    Pondering a flintlock. Educate me.

    Ok strong lean on the SMR 40 cal. Now the stock. I have a pull towards walnut. Should I be ashamed of that ? 😆 I do like medium to slightly dark look. I have seen what people do to that fancy curly maple. What can be done to the walnut ? I seen the product that darkens the grain. Is the...

    Pondering a flintlock. Educate me.

    Ok I’m thinking Kibler SMR. This would be a plinking rifle. I don’t hunt. I was thinking 36 , 40 or 45. Again this would be shot at paper and steel plates and fun . Not knock down style. I never put a kit together. But can watch the videos. I’m not a woodworker either. SMR for the smaller...

    Contacted Kibler about Hawkins rifle.

    I’m only Asking for conversation sake. I know I spelled it wrong. Noted. But when I speak out loud in a conversation……. can anyone say honestly if I said Hawkins or Hawkens ?

    Contacted Kibler about Hawkins rifle.

    I’m very sorry if this has been discussed already. But I contacted Kibler about plans and projections of the Hawkins percussion rifle. They said not yet. But is their next project. Soooooo I’m guessing a couple years . Maybe. Wardawg

    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    Yeah kind what I was seeking. What’s actually taking place . I know not to do it. But the chain reaction to the rings / bulges and total destruction of the rifle. Wardawg

    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    Ok. What exactly is happening for it to burst / or ring a barrel ? The distance of the powder charge and explosion from the projectile builds to much pressure vs the projectile sitting up against powder ?? While ridding the projectile up against the powder is what we want. But what is the...

    Controversial question. Short rodding a patched ball.

    I’m not asking to get folks riled up. But I have heard if you don’t get the projectile ( ball & patch ) for me , fully down the barrel you are setting it up for bad karma to your rifle. It’s nothing would do on purpose. But can happen. Watching a guy on YouTube talking about it. Where folks...

    Copper anti seize for my nipple and set screw plug.

    I don’t have technically nipple grease. I do have a can of the standard industrial copper colored anti seize . Would it be fine to use it on the nipple threads and set screw plug hole ? I would think so. But thought I’d ask. Yeah the manure is messy if you’re not careful. But I have it...

    Hope no fake news. Read TC was sold by S&W.

    Hope I’m not spreading bad info. Read TC was sold and rebought by an original owner. There was questions about whether he would start back the Traditional line . Hawkins style. That would be awesome. Here’s to fingers crossed. Wardawg
