    Shooting a flintlock for the first time ever today

    Well how was it? When I fired my kibler colonial flintlock rifle last Sunday for the first time, I had a **** eating grin on my face. SHEEEECH, KABOOM. It was to cool. Had 1 flash in the pan, due to probably user error. Out of about 20 shots. The priming powder was getting low in my primer...

    Shooting Rest?

    The range I go to supplies big heavy rubber , rifle rests. They allow you to stand at the 50 yard but not at 100. I just use theirs, but if hunting I carry a long stick with a V at the top

    Kibler colonial kit

    To me it was pretty easy, had to file the brass and do very little wood work. On the stock, it's extra fancy maple, done the way they did on the video. At 50 yards standing and kneeling

    Ok folks

    I took it to the range. Sights darn close. Trigger was giving me some issues. It looks afu, compared to the one on my Kentucky pistol. Should look the same. Ordered one from Dixie gun works.

    Ok folks

    Here's a few general pistol questions. I bought a 45 cal percussion pistol from one of the guys In my rendezvou group. It had a bead sight in front, I had a dovetail cut in it and a blade put in. Should I keep filing the blade down until I hit paper? 2. The barrel says Dikar Spain. And a sn...
