Check. I'll keep that in mind when I run out of patches, I have a Joan's about 10 minutes away. I heard beas wax was good for making the olive oil a little more gooey and not straight oil. Hmm. I'll try the soap and water. What is the difference between a range rod and a cleaning rod? The...

I plan to use them all up immediately as I want to sight in and break in the barrel. I'm aware of that issue and also am working on creating my own lubricant from olive oil and beeswax, so far I think its too on the thick side, but working on it getting it better. Oh yeah I bought 200 rounds...

Hi there, I'm soon to be getting a .54 caliber long rifle, and while I've shot smoothbore flintlock BP before I've never owned a rifled flintlock musket. Can you see if I'm missing anything? 44 inch cleaning rod with .54 cliber ball puller, mop, jag, super jag, muzzle guard, and bronze brush...

Aren't you worried about scratching up the muzzle a bit when cutting metal on metal?

We've all been there. Just so happens I have to travel to atlanta for work in a week or two, and I just know my longrifle will arrive just then. I'm going to work as fast and as many hours as possible to get home if it does.

Good to know. Luckily I'm terrible shot with a pistol anyways. :oops:

This makes sense, once I get my long rifle I'll have to try it after I get it sighted in.

Hi there, I've seen a few videos like this one here: Where the person shooting starts aimed at a 35 or 25 degree angle and slowly drops the barrel of the weapon until on sight and then promptly shoots. I was wondering is there a purpose for aiming the gun at a high angle and slowly...

Keep in mind shipping will be another $20 for hazard fee

Hey Dave, if you don't mind me being nosey, would you care to share the subject of the Oft mentioned scientific paper, or is it top secret? The color is looking great!

That sucks, I got 5lb of powder and it cost me a pretty penny, but I only have 1lb of fff powder and a kibler I have to sight in on the way. Everywhere I look it's no less then $40 for another 1lb

I live in north Florida and would also like to know. Is it possible to buy BP at local shops?

unless I'm mistaken Kibler makes a custom barrel now? Or is it custom made for him by a company? On his website for the Colonial it says: 43.25” custom profiled barrels. Breech 1.125” and waist approximately .800”. A very nice contoured barrel. It comes standard in square bottom rifling.

Looking forward to seeing them

If you are thinking of additional scenes I am a fan of age of sail ships, not sure if that was common on a gunstock back then. Sail ship in a hurricane Gail, while the the other side is sunny with clouds. All the ideas sounds fun, except the golf, see too much of that haha

Dave, seeing you mentioned it being soft silver, when cleaning and detailing the rifle is there anything I should avoid that could long term damage the inlay or metal engraving? The Canary !@#$ Is singing and would hate to quiet it.

Make sure to include the software version number! But yes anyway you want to sign it would be nice!

Its the accumulation of hundreds of these little tricks that separate the men from the boys. Dave are you planning to put a maker's mark on the rifle?

Yes but I thought he already shipped smooth bore models. I'll see when its release I guess :)
