    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Worked on my shorty trade gun. She's all together in the white. Everything functions as it should ( ? ) Now to finish the metal . Not sure if I want to brown or blue it. Plugging along with it.

    Accuracy standard

    I'm not a paper puncher either except to get my sights adjusted. For hunting we like to tape a clay pigeon on a string and hang it from a line. Then practice off hand trying to hit it. Windy days makes it so much more fun. Theirs a big difference between muzzleloaders an modern guns for MY...

    Psycho Mike thanks for your reply. Forgot all about Kibler making a new left hand lock to his perfection. The CNC machines we used back in the day. Operated with multi heads an on a table with 360 degree movement. But that new lock would be a large cost to make. But it would be the best one I'm...

    Just curious but how does the other companies make right an left handed kits...? Also how did they or why did they make left handed guns in the 16 - 17 - 18 th centuries...? Obviously their was a demand of some shorts for them...! Or maybe just omit the lock inlet and just run a bunch of SMR...

    Kibler side effect?

    This is going to upset some Kibler people. But I honestly don't see how much simpler Kibler can make his kits. The two things that take time is the metal an wood finish if you use traditional methods. The Woodsrunner I swear takes longer to open the box it comes in. Then put it together an if...

    You will never know until you try. I have a lot of stuff that didn't work out as planned but for me that's half the fun.

    Just build your own I do. They might not be as good as other craftsman but they work for me. It's time consuming but sure is fun...! Plus you really learn.

    If you want a left hand rifle Contact Christopher Walker. He will make you one fine rifle. Also on the Kentish of English locks. I was talking about current contemporary lock makers. FWIW

    Penny For Your Thoughts? Pawn Shop Find.

    Maybe....Are you in Idaho..? .but high quality guns are out their an for cheap. What I have found is modern gun shows where they sell black guns and others. That's where you want to look. Seriously

    I did a bad thing.

    What I see at every gun shop is " All firearm sales are final including ammo " So when I ask about muzzleloaders the answer is Its a gun isn't it...? The dealers don't want to deal with the ATF anymore than they have to.

    Sportster I just know when those tools came down from the tool exchanger and messed up. It would crash into our cast iron housing. That weighed over 800 pounds with authority. It was impressive an the machine was down for a couple of days.
