It looks like the flint nodules got a good clean break. The walls are surprising smooth. Attached a new picture of and old Abby ruin, you can see in this most of the stones are fairly rounded. In this instance there would have been a cement like facing and you wouldn't have even seen the stones...

Just returned from a nice long trip to the UK. The eastern part of England/East Anglia has large quantities of flint and is thus used in the building of many old structures, churches, castles, homes, driveqay gravel you name it. Pretty neat to see all the flint work. I was stationed in the area...

Met up with SDSMlf yesterday at his club range. It had been many many years since I shot and recently had my gun refreshed and ready for shooting. It was great getting to shoot and become reacquainted with the process from loading. shooting to cleaning and picking up a lot of great tips from his...

Welcome Toby, I myself just got back into ML after many years. Yesterday I met up with another forum member that got me reacquainted and shared a lot of knowledge with me. This is a good place with a lot of good folks. I am going to be in Suffolk next month, any good shops with BP supplies to...

Wow, awesome rifle. Nice to see all of the pics.

Welcome, I'm originally from Hyde Park. I would love to get back to RH and visit the Aerodrome one day.

Ex Hyde Parker here too! I left back in 84 to join the USAF. I really miss the beauty of the area.

I dont think I ever seen a horn as nice. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Thank you for posting this. Same exact thing happened to me on my TC Hawken, only difference it was the opposite end screw. I had some corrosion on the patch box and wanted to take it off to clean it and darn thing just flaked off. I have not attacked mine yet, but now have something to go on.

That's a nice picture! I like the Morgan on the bag, is that your creation too? As soon as I can get my hands on some caps and powder I want to get my TC Hawken out. I only ever shot Pyrodex out of it and it was many years ago, looking forward to trying out BP.

Thats a fine looking rifle, great job! Jealous your going to have a trifecta of the different Kibler "flavors".

I have not shot BP for years and have wanted to get back into it. I appreciate all of the replies that help with understanding the shortage. Also Etipp thanks for the I Love Muzzleloading video explaining as well. I have a TC Hawken where I left it in a state that was unshootable. With help of...

Well dang! Good thing we are taking a trip to the UK in May, I can bring/send a bunch of flint back if you know someone that can turn the stones into gun flints. There is a lot of flint to be found over there, alot of of old building and churches exteriors are done in flint stones. At least in...

I emailed CCI yesterday asking if caps are being produced and why caps cannot be found anywhere. I don't buy the response but the following is the reply from CCI technical services. "We are currently producing and shipping millions of primers and caps a day. With the current market we are in...

I have driven down 77 many times over the years and seen the sign for the Ft. and always said I need to stop sometimes and never did. Looking forward to seeing it, looks like a lot of effort went in to recreating the fort. Hope to go with my son and granddaughters Saturday. I seen your post...

Very good re-creation of a Fench/Indian era fort rebuilt/opened in 2019 located in Statesville NC. From the website (Fort Dobbs) events page: On February 27th, 1760, the garrison of Ft. Dobbs engaged in a night-time skirmish with Cherokee warriors. This living history event will highlight what...

Welcome from another newbie also from NC.

That is one fine rifle. You have created quite masterpiece!

Wow, really a beautiful piece. Hard to believe that's plain maple.

I remember browsing my dads DGW catalog as a kid. Just ordered one, got it two weeks ago. Still fun too look through. Funny some of the pictures of the people holding products to show are old timey pictures. For $8 the catalog is a deal.
