    My First Kit Gun

    Good luck! The Pedersoli kits do have a lot of proud wood but it is easily workable. The metal on my Charleville kit was very rough cast and needed the most work but was a good learning experience!

    Unloaded muzzleloader at the range?

    I wonder if a bright red hammer stop might work? At my range, range is hot until everybody responds range cold. Once, a kid was fiddling with a gun while we were down range and I motioned to his father who went ballistic on him. At my first club, all of the RSO’s must have been DI’s and it...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Well it was yesterday and my wife and I went to Colonial Williamsburg for the Grand Illumination and on Sunday I did their musket shooting where you shoot a short land pattern and a fowler. I have built my Kibler Colonial but, have not shot a flintlock yet so it was a good way to shoot with...

    Anyone know much about civil war sharpshooters ?

    Well, if a Sharps was good enough for Josey Wales to shoot the rope for the ferry carrying those red legs…..

    Some would say that I'm older than dirt

    Welcome from Virginia. Building a Pedersoli Charlesville myself at this time. Curious to hear your build experience. Should be a bit easier than putting together a DDG!

    builder recommendation?

    In the white This service is available as an add on to a kit gun order. This is $700 for this service. A gun provided "in the white" will be completely assembled and functional. The wood will need sanded and finished. The metal will also benefit from some cleanup. This is typically a little...

    Kibler SMR 40 caliber put through the paces!

    Beautiful gun and family! As far as browning the barrel, if you follow the steps carefully, you’ll do fine. I did my first barrel this year on my Kibler Colonial and was a big chicken too. The first couple applications are nerve wracking as they seem very uneven but the instructions warn you...

    Is a spiral striped ramrod correct?

    Did you try more time with a heat gun? I noticed with mine it took more heat time than the maple to get the darker color.

    Did I do something Stupid??

    That’s the problem in the world today. Mistakes are not forgiven but are actually the best learning experiences we can have.

    1766 Charleville

    Thank you! Working on the metal right now. The casting sprues are huge and the metal is rough so doing lots of file work then going to go through many different sandpaper grits to get to a shine. Then I will be fitting the wood. Seems like around the buttplate it’s about 1/8-1/4” proud so...

    Is a spiral striped ramrod correct?

    I hope not! I did the hickory on my Colonial with aqua fortis.

    1766 Charleville

    And, just so you know, my kit came and, in addition to the metal castings needing lots of cleanup, there is a HUGE amount of wood that is going to be sanded down to match the metal (better than not enough wood) so I plan on looking frequently at your pics to judge shaping the wood!

    What to do?

    I just did my first barrel (same product) and did in in a downstairs bathroom and got the first coat on light and ran a humidifier on low. Looked very splotchy but no pits. Second layer also very light without carding in between, third layer I rubbed lightly with cloth and kept going till I...
