    Amusing/Ridiculous Muzzleloading Misconceptions...

    What 'left wing lies'? There's nothing particularly right wing or left wing about this subject from a modern viewpoint, and I seriously doubt the people in the past who wrote about the vanishing buffalo herds and the part hunters played were thinking in those terms. Believe it or not...

    Amusing/Ridiculous Muzzleloading Misconceptions...

    I don't think anyone was accusing you of being the guilty party... ;)

    Honing pitted barrel.

    Good point. I have one old Russian unmentionable with a bore that looks like seven miles of bad gravel road, and somehow it groups as well as the others I own anyway.

    Hate to sound excited...but my Kibler is on the way!

    Welcome to the Kibler Club. :)

    Southern California

    Hmm... just checked out their website, and it said there's no waiting list. First year membership fees are $260.00; renewals are $220.00, you're allowed to bring up to two guests, with a fee of $25.00 for each of them.

    Southern California

    I had a membership at the Rainbow Range and Gun Club years ago; let it lapse because I was working away from home most of the time. Thought about renewing it a while back, and was told they have a long waiting list now. Anyone know if that's true?

    Colonial knife question

    Very nice find. Unless you're part of a group who are absolute bears for authenticity, I'd say wear it and have fun....

    Pigeons and barley.

    We raised pigeons for eating when I was a kid, and ate them as 'squabs,' usually marinated and baked whole like small Cornish hens. Squabs were plump, over-fed young pigeons, who were nearly full-grown but hadn't started flying yet. The theory was that the exercise from flying would make them...

    Pigeons and barley.

    Pigeons are a curse, at the natural gas compressor station where I worked for the last twenty+ years. If not checked, they'll cover the floors and the equipment in deep layers of crap. And the crap can carry a deadly fungus that's killed at least one person I know of... A couple of years ago...

    My first kit gun

    Looks like a win/win to me. You're having fun building it, and we're having fun watching you. Keep us updated...

    Pigeons and barley.

    Washing down pigeon pie with a good brew sounds like the best of both worlds... :)

    Something You Don't See Often

    That's a monster; very cool find. If you decide to fire it, we expect a range report. :) When my dad was a skinny young kid, he found a rusty old sxs 10 gauge shotgun hanging upside down in bushes near the river, where apparently someone had flung it. He managed to round up some shells for...

    The Superstition Of Gifting A Knife, Is It Real?

    Years ago in the Wilshire District of Los Angeles, I rented what had been the stables behind an old mansion and was later converted into a garage, with the butler's quarters above it. Lived upstairs, made the garage area my workshop, and everyone was happy - until I brought an Eskimo gal I met...

    Flintlock touch hole liner removal

    When I bought my Kibler Southern Mountain rifle kit, I was given the choice of a stainless steel or carbon steel touch hole liner. I decided I'm not likely to wear out the carbon steel liner, given my age (72 years old). And seeing the circle of shiny stainless liner would annoy me every time...

    DECEASED ASHES

    Good story, and I'd like to hope it's true. My mother wanted her ashes sprinkled on the desert property where she and my dad lived for years, until medical problems forced them back into civilization. She promised to come have a talk with us, if we didn't comply. Knowing my mother, we took...

    The Superstition Of Gifting A Knife, Is It Real?

    New one on me. But I don't think I've ever given or been given a knife as a gift (aside from a pocket knife my dad gave me when I was five or six years old), so what would I know? And as Cruzatte says, it seems a rather nice custom.

    Neatsfoot Oil

    You must walk softly, if you're talking about the same pair of boots over that twenty years. Of course, maybe you don't wear them to work. Red Wing or Wolverine boots normally last me for two or three years. Of course the soles wear down first, but eventually the inner linings rub through at...

    Neatsfoot Oil

    I was lucky enough to tote an unopened gallon of pure neatsfoot oil home from work a few months ago. It wasn't on any list of approved substances for our natural gas compressor station, and trying to ship it out or legally dispose of it would've been a paperwork nightmare because we have a...

    Today's beautiful find.

    Where's a tongue hanging out/drooling smiley when you really need one?

    Alcohol source

    You can't make it in some places, but you can certainly buy it pre-made. Of course it has a limited shelf life or so I've been told, so you might not want to use what's available at the local Ace Hardware on your Steinway... My wife has a nice old upright; don't know the brand. Years ago...
