    My Kibler Colonial "In-the_White" is on the way!!!

    Hey Pete. Would you describe how to use phosphoric acid on a lock? (Use short words. I'm kinda dense.)

    My Kibler Colonial "In-the_White" is on the way!!!

    Actually, I like the look of a bright lock against a browned barrel. I assume it will dull over time. I can always come back and brown the lock later if I don't like the way it looks. BTW, it`s a .54.

    My Kibler Colonial "In-the_White" is on the way!!!

    Finally! I have to go out of town on the 30th for a week. With any luck, it will get here before next weekend and I can sand, stain and get the first couple of coats of oil on the stock before leaving. Simultaneously, while waiting for stain and and oil coats to dry, I can apply coats of cold...

    Got a $1,500 budget! What should I look at?

    Yes, I assume so. As of today, I still don't have it in hand. It takes all the will power I can muster to keep from emailing Katherine to get some idea when I can expect it. Last time I emailed her, she estimated 2-3 weeks. That was five weeks ago. Maybe I misunderstood her when she said I...

    Anybody have a Kibler with standard grade Maple stock?

    Hatman, is that an iron nitrate stain? Good looking gun stock. You would not know it was a standard grade piece of wood.

    Question about cold browning in low humidity

    Thanks for that link, painter! I had not seen that.

    Anybody have a Kibler with standard grade Maple stock?

    I'd love to see a photo of one finished, if you do. Unfortunately, that's how I ordered mine, as I was being a cheapskate back in the fall when I placed it. I guess I'll wet the stock when it gets here to see how much figure it has, and if it has none, or near none, stain it a little darker...

    Question about cold browning in low humidity

    I know the Laurel Mountain product says the higher the humidity, the better the solution works to brown the barrel. The problem is we're a ways away from those hot, humid days here in the southern mountains, and I'd love to get this project finished asap. It just so happens that I have a...

    Do you carry a modern sidearm when hunting in addition to your muzzleloader?

    It's kind of like carrying an EpiPen when you have a known allergy: you may go years -- or forever -- without needing to use it, but if you do ever need it, there is absolutely no substitute for it! Many years ago, I was trout fishing in the North Georgia mountains, when I got attacked by...

    Do you carry a modern sidearm when hunting in addition to your muzzleloader?

    I do (perfectly legal in Georgia if you have a concealed weapons permit). I carry mainly because of the fact that we have had pot growers on the property in the past, and I'd hate to run into them at the wrong time with a single shot rifle. I know the odds of something happening are small...

    Club match shooters.......

    Approximately how many flints do you run through a year per rifle? I'm having flints shipped with my rifle, and I'd like to have enough to shoot 12 matches (25-40 shots per match) per year and a hundred or so shots between hunting and range sessions. Right now, I've got 25 coming with the gun...

    Still waiting!

    I've decided to post an update every couple of weeks on the disposition of my new rifle. . . . . . . . Still Waiting!

    DIY pig hunt

    Guys, look at your regulations! ALL muzzleloaders are designated as legal small game weapons in Georgia-- including WMAs!

    I was one of the 11 who showed up last weekend, also. I met you at Wilson Shoals two weeks ago!

    Murrayville (Gainesville) here. Seems a lot of y'all are from this general part of the state. Any of y'all shoot with the Blue Ridge Mountain Men.

    Looking for opinions & knowledge 😁

    Try 80-90 grains of 3f; 80-100 grains of 2f. My be bet is your rifle will like the heavier load of 2f best.

    Still waiting!

    Yeah, I got the wooden sliding door patch box. Mine will be .54 caliber (in case there is an elk in my future).

    What's the difference in an aluminum rb mold and a steel mold.

    Aluminum is cheaper. I'm sure there must be a reason.

    Still waiting!

    My "in the white" Kibler Colonial rifle was due before Christmas, but I'm still twiddling my thumbs waiting for it. I'm about to shoot my third match tomorrow with my old percussion rifle, when I thought I'd be using the flinter eons ago. Katherine says their shop was hit with covid, which has...

    Whitetail deer -- lots of whitetail deer -- but only whitetail deer in my 53 years of muzzleloader hunting. I must confess, however, until recently, muzzleloading was simply a deer season extender to my modern rifle hunting. I was a huge custom gun-guy, investing and hunting with modern rifles...
