    Kibler smr ash

    Very nice color!

    Appropriate carving for a Woodsrunner era Kibler kit?

    Get a scrapbook and a stack of pencils. Draw. Draw, draw, and draw. C's, S's, circles, organic shapes, and lines. Draw till you are sick of drawing. And then draw more. And study older muzzleloaders in books. You want to be able to perfectly draw those shapes. Get a practice stock...

    Kibler parts for today,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I was going to say, that from the color and look, the parts reminded me of rods from an engine that got hot. Hot metal, quenched in used/burnt oil and there you go. I had never heard of it called that. But that look reminds me of so many old guns. That patina. Nice! Oh, what about the frizzen?

    Walnut finish problem

    When wiping off finish, do it after just a few minutes. In 15 minutes tung oil can be sticky and hard to remove. And that probably varies with the brand and how much thinner might be involved. You will always be leaving a coat. Just do not leave a thick coat, or the next coat could show dull...

    Hummingbird

    Reporting in from central Illinois. Have not seen a bird yet this morning, 10/8. Nor did I see any yesterday, 10/7. Was 44F yesterday morning and 40F this morning. Gonna warm a bit and then 32F next Tuesday night. We may have seen the last bird for the season. Feeder can stay till the...

    Am I the only one who doesn’t really care for carving on a rifle stock?

    I also like the look of wood. Sometimes carving can take away from what would be outstanding grain or curl. However, having dabbled in carving, I know how extremely difficult good carving is to do. What the CNC incising does for us is give some people enough that they are looking for to...

    Hummingbird

    We pulled the small feeder. Just the big one still out. Had several birds come through yesterday, 10/4 here in Central IL. Already this morning, 10/5, while waiting for water to boil to make coffee I saw at least two birds. Perhaps three. Big birds, so I assume adults. Whereas yesterday...

    Hummingbird

    Here in Central Illinois we had at least two that came by yesterday, 10/2. Already one small bird has been here this morning, 10/3. We cannot even hope to watch every minute of the day. I would have to assume that others are coming past.

    Hummingbird

    We had a few birds on 9/28. A bunch came by on 9/29. On 9/30 just a few. The smaller feeder took a big hit. So had to be birds when we were busy doing other stuff. Yesterday, 10/1 I may have seen two birds flit by. The wife mentioned taking the feeders down. But I said not yet.

    UPS has outdone itself. I'm actually impressed by how massive of a failure this is, even Kiblers famous crates are no match! INSURE YOUR STUFF FOLKS!

    Just amazing that it was broken that cleanly.

    NMLRA membership increase

    Every organization that also produces a magazine for it's members is dealing with the same problem. Times are gonna be tough. I hate to see magazines go by the wayside. I love the format. Glossy print even more so. I also loved newspapers. Real newspapers, not these little flyers...

    Hummingbird

    Here in central IL, Sept. 28, have not seen a bird this morning. Had a number around yesterday and one right at dusk. The past week we at times at a dozen or more around. It's possible I saw a Rufus this past week. Nearly all our birds are Ruby-throated. Some are not identifiable for...

    UPS has outdone itself. I'm actually impressed by how massive of a failure this is, even Kiblers famous crates are no match! INSURE YOUR STUFF FOLKS!

    Someone please explain what I am looking at. Is that two separate Kibler-style boxes that have somehow been joined? Or extended, to ship a longrifle without pulling the pins? I understand the frustration. The anger. I have said it in several threads here. All our package services throw...

    toe plate screws

    I had done some thought about this after I ran into the same problem. That perhaps I was just a bit too close to the buttplate. And, that just maybe having a screw that close, even though small, might cause the toe to crack at some point in the future. It almost seems like leaving too much...

    Latest build - English export fowling piece

    They are all there now. Look great. I can see the red in the color. Subtle, but it's there.

    Latest build - English export fowling piece

    I can only see the image 3035. The others I cannot see. Maybe because they are ran together without a space? Really like the trigger guard. Black walnut can be so very dark. What finish did you use?

    Unique piece of Sugar Maple

    Perhaps quilted. With a bit of birdseye. It looks like it's doing a lot of different things. Very interesting.

    Storing rifles prior to shooting?

    The room I keep most things in does get a lot of air flow from the heating and A/C system. Touch anything metal in here and it's always cold in summer. I need to find or build a more stable storage area I guess. Or take the rifle out to the shed a few days ahead of shooting and let it...

    Storing rifles prior to shooting?

    So where do you store your rifle or rifle just prior to going shooting? I never even gave it a thought. Our local club, Leroy Rifle & Pistol Club had an open house at our range (American Heritage Range) on Saturday. Celebrating the opening of our 100yd range. We've had a 30yd range for some...
