    Custom Relic Wood Boxes - What do you Use to Store your BP supplies?

    My neighbor gifted me an old machinist’s tool box that his father in law had bequeathed him. I had no real need for it until I realized it would be very useful storage for BP revolver accessories and necessities. Everything fits, though I limit the amount of lead I take to the range for an...

    We just passed through Hamilton TX (16 Jan) and truck says 27f. I heard warmer temperatures Thursday. We’ve been towing a winterized RV 3 days now all the way from Denver and are looking forward to a shower and an indoor terlit. At some point ‘tween here and FL we should be dewinterized. Gonna...

    woods runner cherry,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Very nice job. That's the wood species and color I am looking for. I like the metal finish too...the barrel of my TC Hawken kit started out as blued 45 yrs ago but now has the same luster as your rifle's barrel. I was considering browned barrel and cherry on my next build but I like this...

    What Was Under Your Tree?

    My wife and I have all we need too, we just exchange thoughtful cards. In a similar display of Murphy's Law, our daughter's oven's lower cooking element broke just before loading the prime rib into the oven. Thankfully, an elderly neighbor saved the day by loaning us the use of his oven. (their...

    Is there a way to postpone cleaning a ml?

    A friend purchased a stainless ROA thinking he could put off cleaning for a while. Well, a while turned into 6 months and in the moist Kodiak Island environment his procrastination resulted in a pitted pistol. Stainless steel is not a homogenous mixture and pitting was profound where the mixture...

    First Ruger Old Army questions...

    Nice group. As for the holster, my ROA resides in a Ruger flap holster with the Ruger eagle embossed on the flap. It fits perfectly. Not certain if they are still available.

    Finished My SMR Build

    Beautiful work and those dings give the rifle character, identifying it as your rifle. You've inspired me to continue working on my .54 Lyman Plains Pistol kit.

    Kibler - field observations?

    Thanks for posting those photos. They bring back memories of turkey and elk hunts there with my newly completed 50 cal TC Hawken kit. I was a student up north at Ellensburg and hunting always took priority over class start times...no morning classes before 10 AM. I sure miss that country. It...

    Stupid, stupid, stupid

    That video right there convinced me that I need a flintlock. One of the mysteries of the flint has been revealed. Time to shop, even if it involves ordering one from Kibler. Kits are not new to this pilgrim....I'll get 'er done.
