    Log Cabin Shop good peoples

    Shopped with LCS several times online and once by phone. Always smooth transactions and the fellow I spoke with by phone went above and beyond my expectations during the call (I only called to ask if something was in stock, he went to get the item, then answered questions about it and how to...

    Hey Kibler

    Problem with custom one off items…after ordering and even paying a deposit sometimes buyers seem to drop off the face of the planet leaving the seller stuck with something that may never sell to someone else.

    Thompson hawken upgrades

    Scout camp I used to work at has TC hawkens, renegades, WMCs…some as old as 40+ years. Obvious wear and tear, plus significant pitting in the high humidity environment, but overall they still shoot. And yes, some have been shot so much the rifling is gone. Only issues they ever had was a...

    Yea, little weird. Also weird to proclaim being a "capital L liberal" but then didn't capitalize it.

    Thanks USPS

    While I was stationed in Germany I bought a book on ebay which got shipped media mail. That's already a four month journey. It left CA headed to NY to ride a boat over to Europe. Two weeks after getting to NY it was on its way back to CA. Huh??? Several months go by and I get a call from...

    My Pietta 1851 Wedge Story

    I had the same problem on one I got at a big box store. Someone once told me there's never an excuse to cuss. They never owned a gun with a stuck wedge.

    Thanks USPS

    When we moved in, our local post office refused to deliver our mail until we filled out a rural delivery card (PS form 4232) so they knew our names were intended recipients at the address, despite having already filed a change of address. The previous owners submitted a change of address for...

    Kibler quick ship on the way!

    Bingo, that's the stuff. I also used it on a speed loader and it turned out great, though this picture doesn't do justice to how well it looks in person. This is on the table that suffered an acetone spill.

    Kibler quick ship on the way!

    Got a pint on Amazon. Search for tried and true varnish and it should be in the first few listings if not the first. Shipment arrived fast and no spills. Planning to strip and refinish my breakfast nook table to erase an acetone spill, and work a SMR rifle kit after Christmas. There will be...

    Pedersoli locks bad?

    Probably, but since I have a percussion sxs that doesn't have a hair trigger like the Scout I just don't bother much with it.

    Kibler quick ship on the way!

    I tried LMF Permalyn and Tried & True Varnish on some scrap wood Kibler sent. This isn't exactly the same final process I used on the stock but here is a comparison pic - LMF on the left, T&T on the right. Process used here was two coats Aqua Fortis (heated after each coat), one layer LMF...

    Pedersoli locks bad?

    I got it used on this forum last September from @dogfood (great fellow to buy from btw...I drove to Ohio to pick up in person). Like you I couldn't find much online about it, with exception of a Youtube video. Pedersoli doesn't include a ramrod with it so I got the add on kit from DGW...

    Pedersoli locks bad?

    I have 3 flint Pedersolis - Brown Bess, Frontier, and Scout shotgun. Had no problems with the Bess. I replaced the Frontier lock with an L&R because there was a gap between the frizzen and pan on the factory lock. The lock on the Scout is fine but the trigger is so touchy I 'm not happy...

    Kibler quick ship on the way!

    Yeppers! That plus an email to them last year got everything squared away. Anytime I hit a snag their team was extremely helpful via email and it always kept my progress on track!

    Kibler quick ship on the way!

    I tried to stay as close to the finishing process as Jim demonstrates in his very helpful videos. I didn't want a dark finish and I'm delighted with how the stock turned out. Here's what I did to achieve the results shown. Stock: - 2 applications of Jim's Iron Nitrate (dried, heated, and wet...

    Kibler quick ship on the way!

    Such is life, this kit took much longer to complete than I anticipated. Got to pinning the nose cap last winter and life got busier. I could've done better with the pinnings as is apparent in the photo but they will stay as is because I like it and that's all that matters. This was my first...
