Buy a Kibler kit and have a superior product in every way. (Ya'll knew that was coming.)

Barking squirrels, gigging snakes, What's next? You kids these days...

Now I gotta build one in Cherry wood. It's all your fault. Well played!

Save another 300 clams and get a kibler kit. You’ll be MUCH happier.

I scored a two-band rifle musket advertised as an 1863 Remington (ok...they just called it a Zouave...whatever) on GB. Upon further inspection of pics, it was clearly an 1841 Mississippi. Got it for no more than any other plain jane Zouave you'd find. Clearly the seller wasn't properly versed...

I assume you're using a flask with a spring loaded swing gate that you swing open with your thumb, invert the flask to fill the measure tube, then close the gate and pour charge into chamber? Yes, that's FINE. Don't worry about it. The shallow chambers of the C&B revolver will NOT hold an...

Well, swabbing between shots is not necessary. It just isn't. That's up to you. You are correct that you do not load directly from a horn or flask. Load a measure, pour charge from measure into bore, then load the ball.

You're getting a good start. The actual bore diameter varies with these guns and the Minie should be .001" to .002" under that size. If the ball just drops down with hardly any ramrod effort needed, it may not group well. The Minie ball's hollow base allows the expanding gases to expand the...

That's downright purty.

This right here....I also had to file down the front sight on my Colonial .58 to almost nothing. Put a taller rear on it and a taller front with larger notch. Old eyes need more light around the front post in the rear notch, at least mine do.

I'm not saying we're real black powder zealots here but.... Who am I trying to kid......YES...yes we ARE black powder zealots. Seriously, the pyro goes bang but for centuries of proven performance, holy black is the only answer. I've burned pyro, 777 and black but when I head to the range...

Sell the kits as-is. Work put into finishing them won't yield much net profit as they're not high end guns to begin with. The cool-factor of sealed 70's era kits is pretty neat.

My long time buddy and best man at my wedding, is one of the main armorers for the film industry in NM. He was called to do the armorer duties AFTER folks on the set of RUST voiced concerns over the capabilities of Hanna Reid. He declined as he was working on another production. He has since...

...oh and some tiddies....were there any tiddies? No tiddies, not enough explosions, I'm outta there.

But was it diverse enough? That's all that matters.

What.....the...fornication... is this blackhorn excrement? Like we needed another faux black powder??

Just sending out a note to all the lefty weirdos that there is a left hand .50 percussion GPR on Gunbroker now. Now all those of such left sided persuasion can return to your incantations, boiling your witches brew and struggling with scissors. Have a nice day! :)

A new barrel can be rough and edgy at the rifling grooves. Fouling can collect excessively as a result. Maybe a good buffing with some scotchbrite on a sub caliber jag and/or some polishing compound on a patch could make the bore slicker and less apt to collect fouling so much. My GPR was a...

sarcasm meter just hit 11 here. Anyone else? Well played.

Not trying to stir up anything regarding Lee quality, but I have a Lee .530 mold that absolutely does not throw a .530 ball. Dropped balls mic to .535 consistently. A Colerain barrel I have in .54 absolutely will not admit the larger ball, which is how I found out the size discrepancy. Do not...
