    Pondering a flintlock. Educate me.

    WarDawg we have a river shoot in our area. With a 8 inch steel gong on the other side. About 100 yards away. My 40 rings it no problem if I do my part. It's a great coyote getter..!

    What has more effect on POI, muzzle velocity or recoil.

    Of all the guns I've owned and I'm no expert. I have worked on almost everyone of the triggers on them. If it's a stock I'm making modern or muzzleloaders. It has to fit me perfectly. After the triggers are adjusted for me. Then I work on a consistent load for the gun. I've never believed in...

    Stock inletting questions for a bozo who's never done it

    My opinion you don't need a whole bunch of chisels. No more then five or six is enough. But to each their own.

    Starting my winter pistol build early

    Been following this and your pistol is coming along well. I've got a 12 inch Getzs 50 cal. I want to make a bear pistol out off. Hopefully it looks like a pistol when I'm done....lol

    Need advice on collection of 4 unopened 1970s kits I just purchased

    One thing that truly matters in selling anything. You have to find the right clients. Otherwise you won't reap the most profit. In my area I doubt you would get $250 dollars for the whole lot. Everyone wants an inline. Nobody wants a custom flintlock or percussion and they certainly won't pay...

    .36 vs. .44 "Stopping Power"

    In bear country. The only thing you really need is a hunting partner. Also make sure they can't run faster than you...🤔

    Take EC121 Advice the Woodsrunner from Kibler is as easy as it gets. My 8 year old grandson put one together with a minimal amount of advice. They are a fantastic kit and super accurate rifle.

    Stock inletting questions for a bozo who's never done it

    If it was mine. I would see how well the lock fits in the stock in let. Then see where the lock pan relates to the touch hole / vent. Third take Phil's advice to the letter about taking the lock apart. Take pictures of before and after. Lay the parts out in sequence of how you remove them. If...
