I quit hunting before I got into Blackpowder over a decade ago after years of no success, My interest was finally renewed last year as I've always wanted to tote a flintlock around the woods. My first kill with a ML was also my first big game period, It took most of the season but i finally...

I used 4f or null b last year and found it had a higher tendency to absorb moisture than coarser powders. So I would go with 3f if your lock lights fast with it.

As BPtactical said, Whiting works great, a tub will last many projects. It saved my southern rifle from a botched finish after oil leaked out of the touch hole and onto the bare wood around the lock and wrist...

For someone who doesn't have experience with hand tools, the hardest part on a Kibler would be finishing out the brass castings which already come very refined when compared to the other kits on the market. worst case scenario a few areas on the rifle aren't perfect, you can live with it and...

I've had no complaints since switching to swiss last year whether its flintlock, percussion or BP cartridges. Still fouls a bit, but its softer than goex.

Sounds like a mental thing, Similar to my experiences trying to shoot any modern gun with a magnified optic. Cant achieve anything resembling consistency, Reticle just moves too much as opposed to irons which just look stationary

I shoot at the local DNR range, and have been for years. Always get questions from someone vaguely curious, especially if they see the accuracy possible. Always offer to let people shoot them, but have only had a handful of people actually accept the offer. As a "younger" person who's been...

It's an 1/8" thick "ramp" sight, not a blade. I tried it the other way, just looked wrong to me

I did this Remington a while back (sorry it's wearing a conversion cylinder) it was my first attempt at this type of soldering and it was pretty easy. I just used some 1/8" brass stock to make a front sight I recommend a taller front sight. My front sight is right at 1/4" tall and it is too...

I spent some time at the range today using Swiss 3f for the first time in a .45 and .54, great results so far where accuracy is concerned using lighter charges. Although I haven't stretched it out yet to 75+yards. But more interesting to me was the minimal fouling in the bore of either gun.

As far as muzzleloaders are concerned, In Georgia "Gobblers" can be taken with ANY Muzzleloading weapon. I intend to try roundball this year if I dont find a Fowler I like.

To be honest I'm not sure, I could barely tell what I was looking at while gutting it as I left my headlamp in the truck. The chest cavity was full of blood though.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas, The first round of steak's were quite nice last night. Aswell as a good bit of meat ready for the grinder

This was the first year I've tried big game hunting in 8-10 years after a handful of years with no success on State Land. I've seen quite a few Doe, unfortunately most places around here are Buck only all season, with maybe 1 Doe day for Primitive or Firearms season. The area I planned to hunt...

I love my Kibler in 54, but had the 58 smooth been available when I preordered I would have chosen that

My rifle was lacking a little curl in the same area and the patch box does help break it up. However your rifle still looks great. The carving helps draw your eye a good bit. My plain gun for example

Finally got around to replacing the eye sore of a touch hole on my "southern rifle" along with being an eye sore it didn't like to seal up well when cleaning either plugging the hole or using a flush tube. its going to take some tinkering to get the patina to match up. most likely I'll just need...

I made a front sight out of brass stock and soldered it onto my New Model Army and it looks great on there. I originally was going to cut a dovetail and use a front sight blank, but my test dovetails on the barrel scraps werent as clean as i liked Cylinder blurred as not to offend too many folks

A bit shorter than what your planning but here is a "Canoe" Colonial It's not a canoe gun......it's a Kibler Colonial, kinda.
