who needs stinking rifling! Kibler fowler group,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[olskool]

here is a Kibler fowler i done about a month ago. i have it for sale but it has been sitting dormant, so this morning i played around with a peep sight i put under the rear screw. this was 50yds off the bench. i could also hit 3x6 steel targets off hand. i might take it deer hunting Saturday morning. our season opened Aug. 15-jan1 i am digging the smooth bore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Rifling...over-rated for 200 years.

You guys keep tempting me to make a Kibler Fowler my next build (after I get around to the Rifle Shoppe Baker rifle that has been waiting for me for a couple of years).

Still waiting for mine to ship. Asked for above grade walnut. Guess it is all average wood for now.

Rifling and rifles are definitely overrated

Can we see a picture of your peep?

 

[Daryl Crawford]

Nice shooting. Love my 62 caliber smoothbore FDC. Versatile guns that can do a lot, but you seem to do a bit better than me!

 

[CyrusP]

Can you show a pic of the rear sight you made please?

"Badges? Badges? We ain't need no stankin badge!" lol

 

[olskool]

i have to go to town in a bit, when i get back i will show a photo of the peep.

 

[olskool]

here is a photo of the sight i made. it is just a crude rough prototype to see if it would work. the screw is an old lock plate screw with a flat base, not bevvied so the sight would clamp flat and tight. the sight was a piece of old band sawmill blade. i heated it red hot to get the temper out and bend and drill it. i will take another piece and refine it to look and function correctly.

Love the simplicity and functionality. I’m a big fan of peeps on unmentionables and believe it can transfer nicely to real guns as well!

Thanks!

 

[Terrier]

Elegantly simple.

That's really sweet! It may help to turn the sight a full 180 degrees so the peep is closer to your eye; It'd give it a more traditional look too. I like the staining you did on the timber @olskool. Very nice.

Cheers, Pete

Tried shot yet? I'm curious what type of pattern they throw with 5s or 6s at 25-30 yards.

 

[Antelope Pete]

Let's see a group at 100 yds.

If you ordered from Kibler and are more than a week waiting , call them. Mine was in the mail for 3 days tops.
