Jax Black is labeled for brass but Kibler Longrifles also recommends it for all steel surfaces. I tried it and got a beautiful antique black/gray finish.

I bought one of these and it fit perfectly on my Kibler Woodsrunner. It’s well made and I think it’s worth every penny. Only thing I did was take brown off the screw and colored it with Jax Black, and colored brass with Jax Brown to match everything else on my rifle.

Beyu, I am new to black powder but I’m thinking for a shotgun or “Buck and Ball” application like mine.. I think the paper is supposed to form a cup to contain the shot balls until they leave barrel of the gun - so I actually don’t think I want them to burn up quickly in that case. On another...

I’m pretty decent with woodworking but this kit didn’t take any effort at all. The wood is the fancy maple with Aqua Fortis stain, one coat of 2pound non wax shellac, and multiple coats of “Tried and True” varnish oil. I was also happy with the Jax Black patina solution on the steel, and Jax...

Thanks again for the replies. I’m new to black powder but been hunting for a number of years. I decided I wanted a fun direction away from all my centerfire rifles. So I just built a 54cal flintlock Kibler Woodsrunner as my primary hog hunting gun.. And my short range backup is a double...

Thank you for the reply. I expect local fire risk conditions to be low but I am trying to be very conservative. My next will be a winter hunt for big hogs in eastern Tennessee

Thank you for all the replies. I will try soaking my cartridge papers in borax water and I will also consider using parchment paper. Specific application is I want to use a 20ga smoothbore as a backup hunting gun, and to load it with paper cartridges with “buck and ball”. These would be typical...

I may have to do so.. But this seems too easy so I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Obvious test is indeed try to light a treated paper sample, and other test might be to determine if it’s corrosive Thank you for the reply.

I plan to make smoothbore rifle paper cartridges to hunt in deep woods. I’m considering Kraft paper or even ordinary printer paper. But concern is I don’t ever want to start a forest fire when smoldering papers shoot out of my gun. I saw Borax mentioned for a soaking solution for the paper...

Thank you for the reply. Your pics show exactly what my own I might try that because I’ll already be taking it apart for refinishing. The woodwork and the metal were so rough in gun as purchased that I had to redo everything. The woodwork in particular is so beautiful now that I sanded to...

This is with my finger completely off the trigger.

Thank you. That is exactly what mine is doing!

I now suspect that will be the case. As stated above I will certainly share whatever Investarms has to say about this. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you! I will certainly do that. I have not yet researched if or how I can dismantle or polish the lock mechanism - but based on previous experience with my Uberti Colt replica pistols I definitely plan to do whatever I can do.

This one has a single trigger (no set trigger) and it has a percussion ignition. That said, I don’t know if this pistol has a fly part in the trigger like my Kibler flintlock rifle - I haven’t taken the pistol lock apart yet. So if this a normal functioning on the pistol I will definitely not...

Just received Investarms 54cal Plains Pistol. Concern is that after I pull jammer back to safe half-cock position, and I pull hammer back a little bit more but short of firing position - I find that hammer goes freely to firing nipple if I let go of it. Is this normal, or is it a warranty issue...
