    EMF Sale Looks Good

    Yeah, shipping is horrible. No better than any other vendor in total cost out the door.

    Great weekend at the Franklin Civil War Show!

    Lawdy how I would love to attend and shoot in NSSA. Living on the other end of the country makes that somewhat problematic! Although we DID have a CW engagement here at Glorieta Pass in NM.

    Idiotic Store Policies are turning me away.

    Graf, Powder Valley, TOW, just about anything I need.....oh and Kibler's of course! For the tactical tupperware, got WAY too many of them already and bought ammo by the metric ton years ago before it got stupid expensive.

    SOLD Lyman Great Plains 54 percussion

    MY GPR had a rough bore. A sub-caliber jag and some pieces of scotchbrite and about twenty minutes going at it and it smoothed out nicely. These are fantastic rifles.

    First Time Flintlock

    FWIW, back in my single days, I lived in an apartment and was, at that time, an avid RC airplane nut. I built a lot of balsa models in there and made a lot of sanding dust! I just stayed on top of cleanup and put down drop cloths if doing any painting or other drippy work. Never had a problem...

    First Time Flintlock

    You don't need serious shop equipment to assemble a Kibler kit. Hand tools, some chisels, sand paper, files and a padded bench vise...(clamp to your kitchen table) and some finishing stain or linseed oil. These are almost "in the white" rifles and require little serious work to be made ready...

    New bench & vise; need ideas for small bench and good vise

    Build your own bench....MUCH cheaper and more durable and exactly the way you want it...like for height. Some folks need higher or lower to make standing work less tiring on the back. A pattern maker's vise is a MUST. They can position the work precisely where you want it and the silicone...

    To all a happy thanksgiving and holiday season.

    We have A LOT to be thankful for, folks. I have to remind myself of that when the dumbassery that surrounds us gets to be overwhelming. Be well, take care of yourselves and be steadfast in liberty and self-reliance.

    Horrible experience with Plum Brown

    I do barrels in three sections of heating and PB application. Heat with torch, apply PB, scrub back with wet scotchbrite, repeat heating and daubing on the PB. Repeat, repeat. Turns out great. LMF did nothing for me here in the dry desert. Rigging up humidity chamber and hoping, not for me...

    Opinions Requested on Next Kibler SMR Caliber

    A woodsrunner in a small caliber would be excellent, at least for me. The really long SMR barrel in a small caliber just seems like it would be very front heavy. I like a rifle to balance more to the rear.

    Sitting Fox fails to deliver

    Bought one kit from SF. Communications were slow and a bit confusing, but I did get it with everything in the box in good shape. Parts were no better or worse than advertised. There really is no comparison to Kibler's kits. They are unmatched anywhere.

    It's the fabric used to make the front pockets in blue jeans.

    Really bad start

    My son bought a small mountain home a couple years ago. He likes to ride motorcycles, as do I. One dark morning on the way to work, he rounded a corner and a deer ran right across the road in front of him. He was able to brake in time but that startled him so much he gave up riding road...

    The Other Stuff

    I was down there a couple months ago. Need to order some more Habanero Limon pistachios from Pistachio land! Man those are good. I'm in Los Lunas.

    The Other Stuff

    You'll be amazed when you open that Kibler crate. The fit and finish of the parts on that kit will blow your mind. I have a Colonial and a Woodsrunner. They are simply amazing. What part of NM are ya in?
