    Kibler vs. TVM.

    Did you crack the stock in half trying to fit that ramrod thimble? Come on be honest! I screw stuff up all the time but I don’t blame others! I built an SMR Kimbler rifle you need to be very careful that stock with no barrel is very delicate. Most of the inletting is done just some very minor...

    Kibler vs. TVM.

    You cracked the Kimbler and were looking for a hand out! You also screwed up the inlet pipe installation and messed up the pin hole! You have some gall.did you screw anything else up? Your TVM may look good but like I said earlier if you don’t mind a glued on butt plate and most likely no slots...

    Mr Kimbler Sir there is no reason you have to defend yourself to us on this forum! I would block this member! We know exactly what is going on here!

    Kibler vs. TVM.

    That’s some pretty bad workmanship! Lol who installed those ramrod tubes both cockeyed and the pin whole is butchered. Like Clint Eastwood said a man has to know his limitations. Should have asked someone to finish it for you! How did that muzzle get so severely cracked? Good grief!

    Kibler vs. TVM.

    My SMR too was beautiful i was very delighted. I have no reason to slam them! I literally purchased the rifle and fired it maybe 6 rounds! It was the first gun I ever purchased that shot perfectly with no tweaking of sights. I own a dozen or so flinters and I figured some day I’d give it to my...

    Kibler vs. TVM.

    Forget TVM they are not the Flint lock builder’s they claim to be! I will give them this they are great makeup artists at least on the two I purchased. Sending them back is going to cost you shipping both ways thats 200 dollars. Then any repairs needed will cost you. Like you I ended up eating...

    Fusil de Chasse , for fella in N.H.

    I’m still back and forth between Long Island and NH and yes 4 cords as a minimum but I do cheat but not much. I have wood everywhere 😂 basement, garage and of course off the kitchen for easy access. I have to stack some closer today. Goes pretty quick once you get into the swing. The wood goes...

    Fusil de Chasse , for fella in N.H.

    Fusil de Chasse , for fella in N.H.

    New Hampshire? I’m happy to hear that! I thought NH would have a large bunch of Flintlock Shooters. when I did a search a couple years back for any NMLRA clubs hoping to find others to shoot with there is not one in the entire state! I was disappointed to say the least. I guess there could be...

    Loading with a Steel Range Rod

    I agree; short strokes and when hunting otherwise I use a TOTW steel loading rod at the range. I’ve seen guys on YouTube hanging on their 5/16 wooden rod asking for trouble! I think if you are going to rely solely on your wood rod you should wipe after every shot IMO.

    Dixi Gun Works Disappoints.

    Tough times in this United States; I personally have never had a problem with anything I ordered. Though I take heed in what has been said here. I know I can’t save them but I will continue to look to them for things I might need. I hope they can be saved.

    Plain Jane Woodsrunner bummer

    Beautiful job love the sling! Does your sight base have slots to adjust for windage? If not try slotting the holes. I have skinner sights on a Winchester I’m pretty sure they are slotted so you can adjust for windage. Did you fabricate the sling mount or is that available from say TOTW. Id love...

    Bending/Fitting Cast Muzzle Cap

    Success! The Biven no. 14 cap did it. Even better it’s closer to the muzzle end. I got a good fit and though I used a small amount of epoxy I didn’t really need it but decided to use it. I just need to peen the top of the cap to the barrel and it will be perfect IMO. The plans call for a 5/32...

    Bending/Fitting Cast Muzzle Cap

    Okay so right off my stock is now to thin and i will be using epoxy to fill the void. The correct biven muzzle cap for a b profile stock and barrel is 7/8 according Dunlop Wood Craft who cut these stocks and sell the hardware to complete them. Only instead of supplying a 13/16 diameter muzzle...

    Bending/Fitting Cast Muzzle Cap

    Great info thanks for responding. So the problem is the barrel stock combination. I purchased the Lancaster stock that takes a B profile barrel. I should have gotten the C profile barrel which as you noted it 15/16 at the muzzle. I actually have a finished transition Lancaster that is...
