Seems to me I recall Red Green changing engine oil that way. When he was done, he put the oil back in. If they don’t find you handsome, they’ll find you handy.

Another vote for SPG. Works very well.

There’s a darn good chance that the small screw in your set trigger group is screwed in too far. Back that rascal out a couple of turns and try it. If it now works, use this procedure to correctly adjust: Screw that adjusting screw in until it no longer holds full cock. Now back the screw out...

Only for those that had contacted him for interest in the gun. Not a waiting list for the general public at this time but I thought that due to the great interest, I’d put the photos and info that Bree sent to those on the list. Thanks TDM!

Info and photos of Kibler’s Fowler for all interested. Fowler photos and info from Jim Kibler’s pre-order email addressed to those that have previously expressed interest. Kit Details Styling from the 1760's - 1770's Based on smooth bores produced in England and exported to the Colonies...

Mr. James Kibler, the great enabler! Well, I succumbed. And I was on the Fowler list. Weak as a was I pulled the trigger on a Kibler Fowler in 20 gauge. It can’t be helped, I am hopelessly enamored with flintlocks and already have his Colonial and love it. He states shipped to commence in about...

Bravo and a great pat on the back for him doing the right thing. I hope he’s not too put off by some of the ideas and comments. I wish him well and hope he’ll have a successful muzzleloader experience from now on.

I figure with Big Foot’s attitude he’s going off half-cocked anyhow. Is he somehow related to the hairy big footed dude in the Pacific Northwest?

Agreed, I’ve got to believe if you’ve used paper cartridges chances are you’ll never go back to any other way. As far as speed, I’d like to see a timed challenge between the paper cartridge and the cylinder loader. Remember, with that loader, you still have to get the cylinder back in the gun...

I’ve got one from RMC OX-YOLK. If loading on a bench they are just OK. If loading two or three cylinders at a time there might be a benefit. Rather than investing in one of those, get into paper cartridges. For casual round ball with powder just load one cylinder at a time as normal. In my...

Yes Sir! Back then Disney was something really special. Sunday night Mom, Dad and my brother and I gather round the TV with popcorn to watch the show. Almost always great. Favorites were Davy Crockett and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. Those sure got me interested in flintlocks.

Yep, now it’s the Wokerful World of Dizzy.

Respectfully, please don’t. Pay a muzzleloader pro gunsmith to fix it and do not do anything that may damage it.

Wow, bummer big time. Prayers and best wishes for a great outcome. Hang in there, these surgeons are amazing.

Good for you! None of us are getting any younger. Grab that flintlock and have fun with it. They are absolutely the most pleasant and relaxed way to spend the day outdoors. Best wishes for recovery after your operation, been there, done that. Godspeed to you and have fun with your muzzleloader.

Welcome from Minnesota! Virginia is a really beautiful state steeped in history.

I am in complete agreement.

Most would agree a Chambers or Kibler lock will far outperform a CVA in function and reliability, especially flintlock mechanisms. Lesser price points usually involve production shortcuts, but again, many more affordable rifles get the job done. I prefer to say if it’s worth more it probably...

At the lower cost price point, many black powder guns do not have the fit, finish, or quality parts that more expensive guns do. I have an old Lyman GPR. The set trigger assembly is garbage, but with careful work now functions well. Will it ever equal a high quality set trigger assembly? Heck...

I would like to see a comparison of accuracy (meaning tighter groups) at 100 to 150 yards between both the barrels, same length or close with patched round ball, same caliber and same 85 grain powder load. My money would be on the Green Mountain due to the deeper rifling and slower twist. But...
