    Grandpa stories

    My grandfather on my mother's side was killed shortly after my mother was born. He was a painter on the high metal electric towers in Bethlem, PA. He was painting on one that was supposedly shut off but wasn't. Don't know if the shock killed him or not but the 110+ foot fall surely did. My...

    Kibler Colonial Trigger Guard Wrong?

    I suggest you talk to Jim Kibler. I would put Jim "in the know" better than anyone.

    Skychief Load Time line

    I meant dampened powder from the olive oil seeping into the powder causing a possible miss fire. At minimum I would store muzzle down as azmtnman said.

    Skychief Load Time line

    If you get shot Sunday night, would you even care? LOL Seriously, I think you would be OK but as they say better safe then sorry. Probably should at least try it and see when you are not hunting the next day rather than experiment and have a miss fire with that big turkey in front of you.

    Old Sturbridge Village Firearms/Militia Exhibit

    It is a great place. My 5th great grandfather Joseph Marsh IV is buried in the Revolutionary War Soldiers Cemetery in Sturbridge. He was a corporal in Captain J Clapps Company of the 3rd Regiment of the Massachusetts Bay Militia commanded by Colonel Israel Chapen.

    Original or Replica ?

    I'm no expert either however I do know that the GRICE 1762 is something that Pedersoli used and is not on the originals. Also, many of the originals had a pin through the top of the buttplate. I would vote replica.

    What are your favorite Thompson Center (T/C) Percussion guns?

    Forgot to mention that my Renegade and Hawken have 1"-barrel channels as the Hawken is a 54 Cal Hawken. I have 50 and 54 TC barrels for them as well as two Green Mountain barrels in 62. One smooth and the other rifled. All interchangeable between the two guns. Works great.

    What's the consensus on Kibler rifles Steel finish?

    Kibler's sells it. Black for the steel and brown for the brass.

    What's the consensus on Kibler rifles Steel finish?

    Jax black rubbed back to just get the light gray finish and take off the shine.
