Of course the barrel with the biggest hole will be lighter than one with a small hole. I'm curious about variations in weight by caliber. For example, if the difference between a 40 and 45 is only four ounces I'd probably opt for the 40 as the greater weight would be negligible. But if there...

Tell me about weight of Kibler SMR barrels. What is difference by caliber? I'll be ordering one soon in either 36, 40 or 45. I've decided against the 32 as the balls are small and my fingers not very nimble Is there a consensus agreement on caliber?

Now that it has been "restored" it is worth only a fraction what Sudsy paid for it.

Here are a couple of relevant discussions. https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=49297 https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=57838.0

As above, I use PayPal whenever I can. I just don't put anything in the description that mentions anything about guns. I've made two recent puchases from members. One wanted PayPal the other personal check. I've used money orders quite a bit and cashier's checks. They all work. PayPal is fastest...

Found a voice mail from Kibler's on my phone this evening. My .45 cherry stock Woodsrunner is boxed and ready for shipping. Hooah! and Yippee! I'll call them back Monday and arrange the arrangements. I ordered the kit in June. It's going to be interesting to see. I'll have to put other projects...

I usually buy the leather I need from Distant Drums. They list quite a bit on ebay. Crazy Crow has also been good for me.

Sudsy, I suggest you post your restoration method on the American Longrifle forum. They will find it interesting.

I'm interested in old rifles.i don't think I'm good enough with a shotgun to do anything much with them but lean them in the corner. I don't actually want to make old rifles exactly new again. What I would want them to do is be shootable again, like a new rifle. I wouldn't want to shoot anything...

If you sell it I'd buy it if the price is right. There are many things to do with a hair on hide as listed above. I could use a hide that would last a life time of project doing -- for an old guy.

I'm getting interested in antique original guns. What needs to be done to inspect and fix an old gun and make it new again? I've read in the forums that some pull the breach plug for inspection.l have read mentions of replacing drums and nipples on old percussion guns. What if you pull the drum...

That's a high capacity magazine.

Rule? Policy? Pretty certain words. They demand primary documentation.

They are hard to find. Every once in a coon's age they are advertised here, usually in 50 I think. I bought a 54 listed here a while back. It was the only 54 I recall seeing.

Breaking up the silhouette is the thing. When in Korea in 1968 I took a patrol out from the guard post in the DMZ to look at some Koean War fighting positions. One of my men had a new camo cover on his helmet. As we passed through a honey locust stand I turned around to look and make sure...

I wouldn't dye a HB blanket either. However if I remember right orange and blue make brown. A burnt orange dye might make the blue muddy enough. If you can find an original, or one of the reproductions of the Italian army blanket you can make a deer colored capote. A Pendleton Yakima blanket...

You need to go to the American Longrifle Forum and study. You'll learn how to do it and get the color you want.

I did quite a bit of work on my Crockett stock to refine the shape. When it came time to stain it I experimented. I tried potassium dichròmate to age the wood. It looked like an old weathered fence post. I wound up sanding it back and putting LMF walnut on it. Don't sand the beechwood with...
