    Are there any double rifle regulation experts here?

    From memory the left barrel is about 1-2 inches lower and about 4 inches to the left at 50 yards. Supposedly I need to load the right barrel heavy and the left light. Honestly dont want that. Can't remember the loads I played with. I kinda gave up with disappointment. But it is almost time to...

    half **** after firing?

    There is a theory that this lets air in so any smoldering ember will burn quick and go out. The counter is leaving the hammer down will suffocate a burning ember.

    Kibler .50cal.

    Glad you didn't catch that one! So what do you mean when you say Then the gun went off? Did you have the gun on half **** when you were pouring powder down the barrel etcetera. Or Do you mean you loaded the gun then went to put it at half **** and the hammer just slammed forward. or The gun was...

    Kibler kit assembly and carving

    HI Dave Your work is inspirational if also daunting to attempt to emulate. May I ask. How do you get the carving to look alive? I am still practising and as much as I can do a crude scroll it looks applied and flat. I was thinking of sanding the edges softly but am also reluctant to do so...

    Smoothbore rear sights

    I just soldered a LR sight on mine. I really like yours. So simple and minimalist. What is pushing you to change?

    Theory of patched round ball load development.

    I believe that consistency is everything. But we must realise that that extends to the shooter and their stance as well as the physical aspects of the rifle and extends to how the powder burns and the bullets velocity and journey. It is well known that the worst consistancy will show on a target...

    What did you do today

    A Shooters licence is basically permission to have firearms. The Hunting licence is basically proof you have passed the hunting course which in turn allows you to get permission to hunt certain public land. It can be used to seek a shooters licence. It is all pretty complex. Where I am at the...

    What did you do today

    Big day for me today. Got my Restricted Hunting licence so booked a hunt on public land 30 minutes from home for this weekend. It is pretty remote but small. Hoping there will be deer or goat but there are pigs, rabbits and foxes. I think I have the whole forest to myself. Now all I need is my...

    Lock Tuning

    On that basis one can replace the nipple with a Hotshot or similar or notch the nipple so it splits on the barrel side preventing the problem of having the spent cap stuck on the nipple and making it easy to flick off. Not a lock improvement but an operational improvement. After stoning etcetera...

    Whats a good side by side shotgun

    I did not notice one important consideration. For a shotgun to work well. particularly for moving targets, the gun should fit and point well. Apart from shooting to find out all you can do is sight into a mirror and see where your eye is compared to the bead and the rib. Shotguns are far more...

    In over my head with mystery rifle?

    I think I read in one of Dave Person's post that he has filed the tops of the barrel breech end to get a more pleasing curve but I cannot remember where I read it. He had to then cheat the lines on the flats. It may help you a little but obviously not entirely. Could maybe use a maple patch...

    In over my head with mystery rifle?

    In that case. Best of luck and keep us posted. You are lucky everything is double the cost here and almost impossible to get without importing from the States.

    In over my head with mystery rifle?

    Ouch! I see what you mean. Looks like a chunk of Maple would be handy for patches. Could be better to get a new stock.

    In over my head with mystery rifle?

    You could always go get a chambers gunmakers lock. https://www.flintlocks.com/locks6.htm It is a big rectangle so you can give it the shape you want. The Bedford school is for a very narrow lockplate but this will allow you to make a traditional shape that covers your existing inlet. Or make...
