    Hello Pathfinder, I always find your posts helpful and encouraging in regard to the motivation I may need at times to start or finish a project. Let me help you now, but a Kibler Fowler kit as soon as you can! They are wonderful to work on and a joy to shoot. As I was told a long time ago, in a...

    Can I fire blue the trigger on a kibler Fowler?

    BobeLee is right, polish, polish and then polish again. The fire blue will come up a rich dark with the surface smooth and shiny. Like Grandpa’s Sunday shoes.

    Who Hunts Reg Seasons With Their Muzzleloader?

    Hello Yanqui, I too typically hunt deer with a full stock Vincent style .50 during the regular season. It’s a great way to polish up on your still hunting skills. My deer hunting honey holes are bushy. The trick is to find a relatively open forested area in the middle the bush, especially where...

    Hello Jim, yes I would like to see some other examples of tang carvings. We all would. My intention was to individualize the the stock useing your carving as the base. BTW I still have to clean up all the tang carving. The inference that your design was less than authentic was never my...

    Kibler fowler, a couple of photos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    The Kibler Fowler comes with a cnc craving at the end of the tang and the inlet and wrist plate escutcheon. I did the mouldings, side plate and lock panel details as well as the ramrod entry thimble. The tang carving I modified by re carving and shaping it to look more like a 18th century style...

    One more carving at the ramrod entry pipe. The Fowler can be customized to suit your taste for sure. A very nice kit.

    Kibler fowler, a couple of photos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Hello Dave Boone, the stock on my new Kibler Fowler is a very nice grade of figured walnut. I asked for one if they ran across a good looker. Since the stock was so nice, I decided to put some extra work in the build. The cnc carving is nice but to me it was just a framework for something...

    Track of the Wolf

    French Colonial, you are correct. Not all the package delivery drivers are lazy and or thieves. I have had the same UPS driver in my rural area for along time. He polite dedicated and helpful. We have become good friends with mutual interests. He has an appreciation for all things that go boom.

    Track of the Wolf

    Don’t go with Fed Ex. They will put your package in the driveway leaning up against a tree. The driver said that was how he kept the rain from my stuff. That didn’t work, BTW. Or, I have had a contract driver for FedEx just take my $2000 package home. I had to have a FedEx delivery manager...

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    Well I guess the Colt Navy .36 did its job on Davis Tutt in Springfield Mo. , 1865. The 1 shot was fired into Tutt’s chest as he stood sideways in the town square opposite of Bill Hickok. At 75 yards distance, that’s good shooting with a pistol off hand. Not to mention the .36 cal (pellet’s)...
