    WITHDRAWN Bob Tingle LH .50 cal Target rifle

    Why would you call it an uneducated guess? You can plainly see that the drum isn't installed correctly. That alone could be a safety issue. You withdrew the offer after that was pointed out which seems a bit odd. With that said, anything you purchase used here or elsewhere from others may or...

    Need help picking a first rifle

    Your responses here have peaked my interest in building myself a left handed flinter. I am new to the black powder world but have built modern rifles. I come from a metal, machining, wood working back ground and have a well equipped shop to build most anything. As popular as the Kibler kits are...

    I unloaded my GPR

    Here’s a series of pics shooting my flintlock. It’s kinda scary shooting this right handed rifle left handed. This is in broad daylight and in a blink of an eye.

    I unloaded my GPR

    I am a new BP shooter. The charge was 70grs of 3f behind a .54cal Hornady rb. Guessing the shorter barrel attributes to the muzzle blast? Then again, most of this isn't seen by the human eye in real time it's not till you slow things down that you see what is actually happening.

    I unloaded my GPR

    I am a newbie black powder shooter. I had a live cap on the nipple that I couldn't get off and it just bugged me having it in that condition. I'll be hunting with it in a couple of weeks when ML season starts here.

    I unloaded my GPR

    Had this loaded and in the gun room since before Thanksgiving. Decided to make it safe by firing today. Here is what you normally don’t see in a blink of an eye.

    The old .45 Flinter did it again

    That's a beautiful doe and the story behind it inspires me. Sometimes things done go as planned but in your case your hunt was a success! I am still awaiting my first deer with a flinter. .

    Lyman Deerstalker Hunting Peep Sight Suggestions

    I am a 63 yrs old newbie at muzzle loading. My eyes are not what they used to be and I am having issues seeing regular irons so I might give a peep sight a try. The issue is I have a left handed Great Plains rifle and cannot find one of those Lyman's to fit it. Thinking about making one in the...

    SOLD CVA .45 Caliber Kentucky Rifle KIT

    I am a new member here but believe the rules state that you have to have your name and date written on a paper in at least one of the pictures. It is required as it supposedly shows proof of you having possession of said item. It's their website and there rules. There's seems to be some that...

    Meat for the freezer

    Very nice. I wish I had my 30 yr old eyes again, I just can't see the rear and front sight along with the target other on a bright sunny day. Congrats on the deer!

    Jack Garner Signed Flinter

    Thank you for the feedback. I am only 63 years young but I have changed my lifestyle and have lost 115lbs since April. Have lost weight everywhere and feel better than I have in 40 years. I have lost most of my insulation and padding if you know what I mean. We do change as we age, I have...

    Jack Garner Signed Flinter

    Yes sir I agree with you, the slight delay in firing was a new experience to me. Thinking over the long run it should help prevent flinching. I was shooting my GPR for the first time yesterday and was having issues on the gun firing with the first hammer drop. Most took 2 tries so I am...

    How tight to patch a ball

    Hey brother I feel your pain! Just getting into this stuff and have a whole lot to learn.

    Jack Garner Signed Flinter

    Yes sir, it's on the far right. The others are all percussion and quite a bit shorter. Looking at the replies here as much as I would like to take a deer with the .40 cal I should probably be better off using another. Now thinking the .54 cal great plains rifle wins out. I do happen to shoot...
