    Anyone use 1.5F in their bigger bore flintlock rifles?

    I finally tried Swiss 1.5F in my Kibler Colonial 58 today, with 4F swiss in the pan. My consensus is as long as you have a quality lock, you should not see or feel a difference in lock up time. The rifle went bang just as fast as it does with 3F or 2F. The accuracy was not on par, but I did not...

    Do I NEED a Fowler or Fusil?

    Cut me some slack, at least I'm not calling them rifles. 😂

    Do I NEED a Fowler or Fusil?

    I figure it's like waiving drugs in front of a recovering addicts face, he will relapse. It's the same thing with me and whataburger, me and flintlocks, me and motorcycles.... the list goes on and on and on. I swear I'm going to stop but then it gets waaaiiivvvvveeddd in my face again like it's...

    Do I NEED a Fowler or Fusil?

    Well, I found a Center Mark Fusil in good shape and it's on the way... this addiction is bad bad bad.

    WITHDRAWN 40 Caliber Flintlock Trade Gun built by Ted Kramer

    I have for sale here, my 40 Caliber Flintlock Trade Gun built by Ted Kramer. It's set in a maple stock with a 35/7x8 Colerain barrel, and an L&R Lock. Gun originally had a hickory ram rod but it broke on it's first rabbit/squirrel hunt so I replaced it with a brown delrin rod, and added another...

    Do I NEED a Fowler or Fusil?

    I guess I should say, in regards to turkey, I hunt public land and the bit of public land I hunt has no turkey. I'm considering getting back on a lease out west though, eventually. I'm young, my eyes aren't bad with correction. I squirrel hunt with a 40cal flinter for now, and my strategy is...

    Do I NEED a Fowler or Fusil?

    I hunt squirrel... not really a bird hunter although I won't turn down a dove hunt, hunt deer but mostly with rifles such as unmentionables and flinters, and I know next to nothing about shooting clays and have never really done it. With all things being considered, how ever, I keep thinking I...

    Buying a kibler colonial. 54 or 58?

    My Colonial in 58 is well balanced, shoots well, and recoil is more akin to a shove... I have a 54cal trade gun that kicks harder. Until I get my next custom rifle from a known builder, it will be hard to top this Colonial Rifle. My only gripe is the Colonial Rifle styling isn't quite exactly my...

    Anyone use 1.5F in their bigger bore flintlock rifles?

    I'm going to give it a whirl in a few of mine soon and will report back. If guys can ignite 1FG in their fowlers, 1.5fg should go bang just as well.

    Poll: Will the closing of Goex dissuade you from buying a Flintlock?

    Not at all. Schuetzen/Swiss already stated they are ramping up production to meet demand, Goex will be back, and if all else fails. I can always make my own. I love these things too much to give them up.

    SOLD REDUCTION Custom .58 Hawken w/Gain Twist Rifling

    BigSkyRambler, How does this gain twist do with patched round ball?
  13. Travis186

    No more GOEX or OE

    I am 100% ok with paying closer to $30/lb for my BP, as long as I can get it.

    CLOSED 50cal percussion 15/16ths Green Mountain LRH fast twist barrel

    Dang, I was looking for a PRB twist. I do appreciate you getting back to me so quick.

    CLOSED 50cal percussion 15/16ths Green Mountain LRH fast twist barrel

    Bubba, will this fit my 70's TC Renegade? Also, I'm assuming it's a slow twist?

    Kibler Colonial Rifle Build

    I paid for the extra fancy maple. I think you made a fine choice with the 54 and I can't see too much of a difference in the 54 or 58. High polish with scotch bright and then steel wool. Fire up a propane torch and hold the screw with pliars and then heat with the tip of the flame until the...

    Kibler Colonial Rifle Build

    I think so. A friend of mine has a 50cal flintlock that I shot and I didn't realize it was a Kibler until I put mine together and really looked close. The extra material removed out of the bore to go up to 58 cal really helps. I did not, although there is a part of me that wishes I had. The...

    Kibler Colonial Rifle Build

    Ah, yeah, that's correct. I didn't even remove many of the casting marks on the ****, just the "parting line" as Jim calls it. I wanted to leave some sort of "rusticated" look somewhere. I like to think these guns weren't exactly perfect even when built by a professional such as Dickert, like...
