    Woods-runner lock alignment

    I just received my Kibler Woods-runner kit and started to unbox the components. The lock looked a little odd. The Cock seems to be cantered off to the right in relation to the frezzen. What do you think? Is this normal or it be an issue ?

    Second Kibler completed

    Thank you all. Adam in WI, Cherry is a beautiful wood. But, we'll need super sharp tools to carve it. Cherry is a little softer the Maple. Chisels seem to cut smoother with harder woods. If you chisel are not sharp, because Cherry being softer, they will tend to drag or rip the wood...

    Thanks., Everyone has been a great help in identifying the maker of this revolver. Hopefully the threads on the nipples are the same as other makes. Any one have a good source for replacement nipples ?

    Little help with this 36 cal Navy

    A friend of mine presently passed and left me this revolver. I think with some TLC I can get it back in working order, it was very dirty and the nipples are a mess. So, I'm trying to find out more about it. All my other BP guns are flintlock rifles. This is what I do know so far. Based on the...

    Finishing a SMR cherry stock

    Well, settled on 1 Tbs of lye powder in 1 pt of water. Here's the result. I'm happy with the color. The lye / water really raised whiskers. A little fine sanding or 0000 steel wool should take care of that. The forearm to the muzzle is a little lighter on color the the butt. I wonder if...

    Well, It's to the point where it's time to finish the cherry stock on my SMR. I've read a lot of posts on different methods and have tested some on a few scraps of cherry that were included with the kit. I like the rich red color that treating the stock with Lye gives me. The metal will be...
