I don’t think I can resist this. https://www.davidepedersoli.com/en/product/howdah-hunter-flintlock This would be great to shoot until Kiblerslongrifle.com makes a handgun kit. Does anyone have one of these? Quality?

Here is a pattern that would be nice https://www.forgottenweapons.com/from-the-american-revolution-short-land-pattern-brown-bess/

I would like to see a Kibler pistol, and I think a lot of people would buy this kit as it would be much easier to build for people with limited experience and limited work space. A proper Harpers Ferry would be nice, but a heavy Dragoon style flintlock handgun would be my personal choice.

Yes, I think a USA made Bess kit would sell, especially if you offered the shorter barrel carbine model. But….. we all would prefer you make a flintlock dragoon pistol kit first……..

I only clean the exterior, barrel, cylinder and nipples, and the loading lever. I used to do a complete detail strip and clean, but life got busy and I do not bother any more. A few of my revolvers were done by @45D and so are grease packed, but a few are not. I treat them the same and so far...

I wish the Fowler was going to have the rear sight as an option as it really is nice when hunting wild turkeys to have a rear sight. Not too late to offer as an option………..! Please!

Great video, cannot wait to get a Kibler Fowler. I Think he may be surprised at how popular this gun is going to be! His use of modern tech to make a 200 year old gun is fascinating. My next desire is a Kibler handgun.

I would choose the gun with modified choke barrel for waterfowl or turkey hunting. You will likely be using bismuth non-toxic shot for waterfowl hunting with a muzzleloader and it patterns fine in a modified choke.

The 12 gauge will have a much denser pattern as it throws more shot than an equivalent 20 gauge load. Get the 20 or 27 inch barrels, both will be plenty short and handy since there is no action behind the barrels, and they will both generate useful velocity. Either a 12 or 20 gauge will be...

Lots of great info on his site, YouTube and other web sites. The Uberti website shows all their replicas. I enjoyed this book a lot...

just use bismuth it works well. https://www.rotometals.com/the-original-bismuth-shot-alloy-for-reloading-shells-1-pound-bag-made-in-usa/ steel shot will harm your barrel, and worse, due to its low density and the limited ballistic potential of black powder or subs, it cannot be driven fast...

I use #6 bismuth from Rotometals in my TC New Englander 12 gauge. Does a good job on doves.

That seems like a bad idea - the screw in choke guns are more expensive and desirable than the fixed. Just find a fixed choke New Englander and have that jug choked if you cannot get a decent pattern with the SkyChief load (I bet you will get a good pattern). You are placing too much emphasis...

I hunt with 2 TC 12 gauge caplock shotguns, a New Englander and a Treehawk (same gun with camo coating). Both of mine have screw in chokes. I use modified for turkeys and cylinder for dove and other upland birds. As long as I go no tighter than modified there is no need to remove chokes for...

Caps are available. A quick search shows this legitimate retailer has 35k caps in stock. https://www.outdoorlimited.com/remington/remington-black-powder-11-percussion-caps-x22619pack-1000-count/ Will OP now complain that he doesn’t like the price, doesn’t want 1000 caps, and won’t pay...

Now that the Fowler is on the schedule, we all must start pestering them for a quality handgun kit.

Please tell them they can use your photo, but only if the come out with a Fowler kit and a handgun kit in 2023!

I understand your argument, but I think if a warden caught you hunting turkey with a roundball larger than #2 size you would get a ticket and would lose in court. Do what you want, but the regulations seem clear to me.

311 sec. (b) says cannot possess shot larger than #2 when turkey hunting. Also, I edited above to add that lead free is not enough for California, the projectiles must be certified lead free by the state and on an approved list. This is why everyone is buying bismuth shot from Rotometals- they...

I don’t think roundball is legal for California turkeys, and even if it was, where will you get California “certified” lead free roundball in small caliber? —————- §311. Methods Authorized for Taking Resident Small Game. The take or attempted take of any resident small game with a firearm...
