    Kibler side effect?

    Would be cool if they offered a "builder's" option for their guns. Leave plenty of extra wood for the builder to have more flexibility in carving different styles of stocks, cast off, LOP, etc. Maybe even enough room to put a cheek piece on the other side. Keep all the other stuff tight up to...

    Best place to buy leather?

    Someone who tans hides

    How did American forces reload in battle?
