    Converting to musket caps?

    Yes what Newly O'Brian said, You may have to tweak the a hammer a bit to get it centered on a musket cap. In my experience they hammer cup isn't too far off. But the hammer face being recessed isn't an issue on any of mine. They set the musket cap off just fine.

    Wads Vs Lube Vs Paper Cartridges

    Sure does negate that ridiculous assumption that folks back in the day had the hammer down on an empty chamber for "safety". They would give up that precious shot for "safety" :rolleyes: I can hear the hornets nest buzzing already. :D

    Wads Vs Lube Vs Paper Cartridges

    For years I only loaded my revolvers with wads. Until I started watching Old Ranger on YT. He does alot of various testing with these revolvers. After watching this video, I went out to my back yard range and did the same, I bench tested them with wads vs no wads. I got the same results...

    Kibler Rifles What Caliber or Gauge

    Personally I would get a Fowler in 20ga. It will be useful for everything from tree rats to deer etc.

    I think you are spot on Dave. I thought the same thing a little more mass in the striker would make all the difference.

    Lock at rest, Striker against the nipple. Striker pulled back by the cocking piece, so you can now cap the nipple. Striker is in the sear notch, but it will not fire in this position. This is the lug on the locking plate that you will engage the cocking piece on. This puts tension on the...

    It's just the natural grain structure of the wood. I forgot to post a pic of the butt of the stock. There is no butt plate just checkering of the wood. I'll post up a pic. Absolutely, I'll go get you a few pics. You are gonna be blown away by how simple it is.

    I had never seen one like it either. So I had to bid on it. The barrel has a hooked breech. The hook attaches to the tang, then there is a single pin holding the barrel to the forearm.

    SOLD Unique One Of A Kind (Mule's Ear, Side Hammer, Striker?) .50 Cal READ entire description please.

    I bought this Rifle from an auction house. I have no idea who made it or what it would even be called. I have never seen a lock like it before. It is more of a Striker than a Mule's ear type lock. The hammer / Striker moves forward to hit the cap. To operate the lock you pull back on the...

    Exploding CVA barrel

    So you shot this Rifle for "many years" without issue, then store it for some time, then decide to over charge the barrel way past the max recommended charge to "test" it. All because of a recall CVA had for a completely different rifle line or you think steel degrades in storage? Ok got it...

    BIngo! Like I said that's why they hang around. And he definitely makes a good bit from YouTube and his viewers. What did his pan handling for his range net him? 50 or 60K on a 10k goal? :rolleyes: Yeah, he lost me with that stunt.

    That's good, I didn't watch it, no plans to either. But I'm glad he did. I wish all the Gun toobers would just abandon YT entirely.

    SOLD - Pending funds Kibler Woods runner, Walnut, .54 Cal

    It's very easy. Just lay the ram rod on a closed vise and cut the groove with a file that has teeth on the side. Rotate the ram rod as you go, keeping the file perpendicular to the ram rod.
