Mic drop…. by Mr. Kibler. I started out with an Italian flintlock and it functioned just fine and was an easy starting point for me. I knew it would not be perfect, but wanted to see if I liked shooting these “ old guns”. Once the bug bit me, I acquired a couple Kiblers from people on this...

Hey guys, new to cap and ball revolvers, so forgive me in advance. I made up my first batch of paper cartridges for an 1851 Navy and followed the directions / video from Paper Cartridges. I used 36 cal Richmond lead bullets. As a last step I quickly dipped them in melted lube. (See attached...

There are a number of non-felony reasons a person cannot lawfully buy a modern smokeless firearm. Perhaps this person uses cannabis for lawful medical reasons under state law. Perhaps this person is not a citizen or green card holder. Perhaps the person had prior mental health issues and was...

The Tower of London has a pretty impressive display of weapons and firearms. British Museum also has an impressive display of firearms and weapons. Of course the Royal Armoury is pretty awesome as well. If in Scotland, Edinburgh castle is a must see. Again a very impressive collection of...

First, welcome to the Muzzleloading side of shooting sports. It may not be to every shooters liking, but should be.😀 IMHO, starting out with a modern re-production gun is a good way to get started. Just as important is to find a local mentor to coach you through the care and feeding of you new...

Umm… Nylon was created by DuPont company and commercialized in 1937. It is a wholly synthetic modern material. Certainly you jest with your anachronism…

Hey guys, Interested in the answer to OP’s question about builders for wheelocks. I’d like to add a wheelock to my collection of pre- cartridge firearms, but the idea of building one ( and having it work) seems overwhelming and a steep learning curve. Sometimes in life you got to know your...

I turn wooden bowls and that line is the pith ( center) of the tree from which this was cut. when harvesting and cutting bowl blanks, this is cut out of the wood to decrease the chances of cracking while drying the wood. The cracking visible on the end grain ( side) is also from the drying of...

Ok thanks for the response. If you’re OK with it, I have a run at making one based on the pictures and rough estimate of dimensions. Don’t want to be accused of swiping your design. As for material, I’ll probably start off with white wood or pine for the prototype and if that looks good and...

I really like that design / lay out concept. A couple questions: 1) Are these made from wood / PLA / ??? 2) Are you willing to share rough drawing or dimensions so I can fabricate one for my own personal use? One observation, I think adding a third support pad to support area in the wrist...

I’ve been lurking in the background for a while and decided recently to support this forum, so…
