    Rifle will not fire?

    AMES has the best idea. His suggestion is probably the best one that you will ever receive on this forum.

    Correct Use of a Knapping Hammer

    You try and make things difficult when there is no need to . By the way I try to stay at the cutting edge of things ( no pun intended ) but yours is a dull idea. Learn to knap properly and life will be simple . By the way I have a flint that has given 323 shots. And I didn't have to rebuild...

    Is the 36 caliber becomming extinct?

    Just finishing up a Kibler SMR in .36 what a nice kit. GM makes both .32 & .36 Barrels as does Rice. l think Colerain does too. It like the old days of you want a rifle you have to build it or have it built for you.
