    Kibler's Longrifles new product announcement tomorrow

    There were hints about carving being offered at last year's open house, now that I recall! I watched the video. Jim has perfected a beautiful incised carved, high end kit! I prefer a simpler style; however more in line with the original Woodsrunner or feather rifle, but that's me. When the...

    Kibler's Longrifles new product announcement tomorrow

    You may be right; however Wikipedia is just another person's opinion! As an example a knowledgeable friend, a retired history teacher, who has spent much of his adult life researching and writing about the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment , Continental Army, has been deleted as well as edited by...

    Barber pole stripe on a ramrod.

    Back in the 1970s I went to lectures/ discussions of the Trans Allegheny society sponsored by art dealer and local businessman, Les Zimmerman. One lecture delt with flintlock firearms. One of the speakers said that only rifles had striped ramrods, in fact that is how you could tell it WAS a...

    Kibler's next gun?

    Not at all! I was there a week-a-go on Friday to pick up my cherry stocked .54 cal. Woodsrunner, a Colonial smooth bore barrel and new buttplate, and some Permalyn. Things were humming. I met Bree, a new employee, Jason and Jim himself. They were all very helpful and informative. Looks like...

    Kibler's next gun?

    Some random left-handed comments. My mother was left-handed, and she was forced in school to write with her right hand. She had beautiful writing, by the way. My 5 year old grandson tends to be a lefty also. I hope he becomes a pitcher. I can teach him to shoot a right-hand muzzleloader. Not too...

    Kibler's next gun?

    Think about the work it would take to design and perfect a new lock. The fowler could use the Colonial/ Woodsrunner English flintlock. So could a trade gun for that matter, but a pistol or Lancaster, etc. could not.

    How do you eat them

    I eat them with butter, salt and pepper usually. Every once in a while I want sweet rather than savory , and eat them with maple syrup.

    .50 cal Kibler Colonial smoothbore

    Will the Kibler .58 smooth bore barrel also shoot a .57 round ball? Does it measure the same as the rifled .58 across the lands or across the grooves?

    Building a Fusil de Chasse

    Log Cabin Sport Shop in Lodi, Ohio is a great place. Bought a used Japanese Brown Bess kit there in 1974 for $150! Someone returned it after trying to put it together. They started to take off the swell at the entry thimble. I used it throughout the Bicentennial then sold it after Jim Everet...

    Montana muzzleloading season, blaze orange, camouflage

    Many years ago, back in the 1970's I went hunting near Mt. Davis with my Dad. He took his Navy Arms .45 swivel breech rifle and wore orange coveralls. I wore red plaid and carried a modern rifle as it was the regular buck season. This was before Pennsylvania required an orange outer garment for...

    What happens When You Accidentally Shoot a Ramrod out of your gun?

    Wow, Burt, Mel, and Brian. Hollywood goes for the drama, or are they just making fun of muzzleloaders?

    What happens When You Accidentally Shoot a Ramrod out of your gun?

    Way back in 1974 or 75 we had a live fire at a range in Ohio with our Brown Bess muskets. One of the 8th Pa. Regt. soldiers fired a steel ramrod down range. It made quite a sight as it twirled its way down range . Didn't do any good for the ramrod at all.

    Was it Burt Lancaster who did this in The Kentuckian?

    Why not a Kukri

    Our frontiersmen had other tools much better suited to their situation and developed from their Western Civilization experiences.

    Clay Smith Trade Gun Build

    I'm probably mistaken, but are the rr pipes pinned or bent over in a barrel channel "relief inlet " and held in place by the barrel... or am I getting senile?
