    Is Kibler a Sponsor of this site?

    I am 64 years old and have been shooting black powder for at least 40 of those years! I am very opinionated in my older years and understand how people arrive at that stage of life! I don't blame anybody for buying a nice musket like some of the chambers and Kibler fans talk about! My problem is...

    Newbie looking for first flintlock

    Don't overlook the Italian guns as well as India made muskets! Often times you can pick them up on a budget and with a little judicious Gunsmithing have a serviceable weapon! If you are able to afford $1,200 for a Kibler kit and feel comfortable building your own gun that's definitely a plus or...

    I think it's like back in the '80s when the Glock was so popular with all the different models that were available!

    Curious, How do you clean your Pinned barrel Rifle or Smooth bore?

    I'm with you I like to keep mine really clean and see what's going on under the stock! I didn't mention that I completely disassemble my Flintlock when I get it I polish the pins and flatten the.ends so they will not do any damage going in and out of the gun! I have an India made french trade...

    Curious, How do you clean your Pinned barrel Rifle or Smooth bore?

    I undo the through bolt at the Tang to release the tension on the stock pins! After that the pins come out easily then I can just put the barrel into a bucket of water breach first and pump very hot soapy water through it a couple of dozen times making sure every bit of residue is removed then...

    Navy Arms Zouave

    I love my Antonio Zoli zouave imported by Navy arms! I generally shoot it with patched round ball along with 80 to 90 grains of double f and I use the number 10 nipple that comes in the patch box with most of these fine shooters

    How often do you do a complete disassembly for cleaning?

    Yes I worked on the pins and glass bedded the breech so that I can remove it and reassemble easily without any additional wear and tear

    I completely take down my Flintlock every time it spends the day Outdoors but that's just me

    Cheapest northwest trade gun kit?

    Hey 10 gun do you think an entry level black powder shooter could actually finish a kit from track of the wolf or sitting fox? From what I've seen I don't think unless the person is a highly skilled Tradesman in some other field with a knowledge of hand tools and woodworking! I hear a lot of...
