I had no idea a Kibler was like this

@TDM What size flint fits the WR? I am very much on the fence but want to go to a 54 flintlock for big game and the WR does fit the bill perfectly.

7/8” wide x 1” long. And if you polish the trigger bar and sear you’ll get a very nice pull for a single trigger. Haven’t measured it, but it’s good.

And @longcruise, I have no doubt that somebody with better eyes than I have can make the .54 a very effective 100 yard gun. I’m going to try longer shots next time, but it won’t be representative of what the rifle is capable of.

If you are doing a video for the general public, you should explain yourself in the same video. I rarely watch any videos. So a follow-up video is useless for me.

Demand your money back.

I use a 7/8"" in my colonial, don't have a WR.....yet!

Why is that? Looked okay to me and he’s done other rifles. Because he put the sights in backwards? He said in the next vid why he did that.

It’s easy to knock other’s work — especially on the internet. Post your own work. Let’s see a video of you doing it. We’re waiting.

I’m entitled to my own opinion

For those griping about the sights backwards.......

I have met and talked to Peter Kelly at Pricket 's Fort School of the Longhunter. He is a very sincere, knowledgeable man.

I messaged him about his not following Kibler's instructions about the nosecap screws, and the backwards sights.
Too late about the screws, but his next video explained about the sights.

It's the same lock.

Well buckwheat I really hate to inform you that I’m entitled to my own opinion! If you don’t like it, then you can go and pound sand….

All the forum members and myself would like you to quit being an imbecile….. We’re waiting….

Don't speak for me Jack. I agree with that post.

You got some rifle builds to post up?

I've posted my work, I'm not the one griping about somebody else's work. Never have, never will. I'd rather see someone put in the effort and come up a little short than just sit on the couch and do nothing.

Can't, by the way, see much detail in that photo....could be just a rack of pawn shop finds with old english smeared on them. I'll have to assume it's good work you did yourself.

All talk and no show I see! I’ve should have known….

We are a little more laid back here. Now if you want to really show off your work you need to be on the ALR forum. I’m sure they’d be pleased to pass judgment. They don’t hold back. Lots of incredibly knowledgeable folks there. But here, I like to see people do their best and I applaud them for it.

I've seen a few originals with front sights backward which surprised me.

i thought i saw that once... turned out i was lookin at it from the front

 

[COTNTOP]

I could not take my eyes off his barn and the surroundings to notice the sights. Wish I would had discovered this new world about 40yrs ago.

My most recent rifle build, built while I was down for six months with a hip replacement.

My next one, 62 cal smooth bore, hopefully this winter.

I do a bit more than guns on my bench. Do you build knives and leatherwork?

I do.

Tomahawks?

I do.

Powder horns? Scrimshaw?

I do.
