    Still reading print media?

    Sports Afield was a good mag. But, when they hired new younger guys to write - it died - and fast. When I saw articles about mountain biking for fun and other topics not related to hunting or the outdoor life, they lost me and a lot of other people.

    Well, here’s my woodsrunner (pic heavy)

    This color finish with only iron nitrate and permelyn ? Really ?

    UPS has outdone itself. I'm actually impressed by how massive of a failure this is, even Kiblers famous crates are no match! INSURE YOUR STUFF FOLKS!

    Looks like someone used a power saw to cut it. Hard to imagine such a clean break done by accident , equipment failure , or operator error.

    On the idea of a telescoping shipping box : I have seen them in heavy cardboard when purchasing boxes for shipping modern things. CAMERON SHIPPING BOXES. Good variety of boxes to choose from cardboard to foam lined , worth a check. However, they would need hardwood framing to withstand the...

    New **** Miller Rifle, Sighting In

    This is all good advice. Especially increasing the charge toward 75 gr. I've played with the red dodge idea and it haas merit. But takes practice.

    FFg in a .45

    As others have posted - yes - it will work. 3F burns faster than 2F. Expect differences in velocity and accuracy. It's the pressure curve of the different powders.

    Woodsrunner Matchbox Lid too tight now

    Thanks to all. I like these ideas and will get them into play. Great idea from Hawken - when I was thinking of ways to solve this, I reminded myself of how using ink to mark high spots when fitting barrels into the breech. So, that pencil idea is looking good. To BJ - no, I don't even want...

    My latest daydream: A Kibler escopeta ...

    Bill, for those of us who do not know - what is an escopeta ?

    Woodsrunner Matchbox Lid too tight now

    Worth a try. I did try the paper along the flats where the lid meets the box. But that did not gain much. I was thinking ( maybe ) some light sanding along the edges of the box.

    Woodsrunner Matchbox Lid too tight now

    After all the stock and lid staining and finishing work my patch box lid only goes in about 2/3. What is a good way to get it to slide in easier all the way ? Sand or file the contact points on the lid or the edges of the box itself ? I did try some light sanding with 220 on the edges of the...

    September 2 Is World Coconut Day!

    I had to re-learn myself to it. Started with scoped rifles and soon adapted. It became much easier to line up and get on target. Lots of dry firing in the basement. Try raising your rifle just to get the sights to line up. Then when that gets good, take a Quick Look at the front sight...

    Kiblers Woodsrunner

    I have close to 50 shots with my first Woodsrunner now. Same flint as supplied. But, I did send back 3 purchased with other orders that were just too small. They looked more like pistol flints maybe. So I make a note on my orders to send larger flints. Also, I read the preferred size on...

    WITHDRAWN Kibler Woodsrunner, completed, .50 cal

    Very nice. More than one coat of iron nitrate ? Did you use that Tried & True over the iron nitrate ?

    September 2 Is World Coconut Day!

    Yeah, old eyes can wreck a good sight picture. I'm about to switch to both eyes open for a good tryout. Fo some reason, I can pick up the front sight better. Not like more youthful days, but better than one eye open.
