    Okay. I was watching his assembly video #2 and he was drilling and tapping through the stock.

    Quick Shipment

    On March 23rd I ordered a Kibler Colonial Rifle kit. I was told a 3 month wait and it shipped today! Kind of excited and sort of nervous. Never been down the kit road before. Thought I would make this a father/son project. We are going to try and take our time and do it right, no hurry. The...

    .40's Kibler build

    What a beautiful work of art. Thinking about ordering one, would love to do a Kibler kit with my father and sons. It would make a great family heirloom. I'm a little nervous, I've never assembled or built a long rifle before. Sure would be nice to see dad shoot the finished product. Congrats on...

    French & Indian War Era Flintlock Rifles

    I know this thread has some age to it. My question; where is the Peter Vrooman rifle located? My g-grandfather x7 was Peter Vrooman, b. 1682 in this area. His son Isaac was my g-grandfather x6, he was killed at Vroomanland in 1781 by Indians & Tories. He also had a brother named Peter who later...

    Tennessee Halfstock?

    Picture of a halfstock taken off of a dead Confederate soldier after the battle of Ft. Donelson, TN. by Gen. Lew Wallace. A beautiful rifle,a lot of great work was put into it. A lot of good southern flavor. The patch-box lid looks to be silver and what appears to be silver caps on the end of...

    Touch Hole?

    It felt really great to hear a snap along with a good bang! Hanshi, point well taken. I'm not to eager to start shaving metal. I will bench it and see what's going on with it. I need to put some more shots down the barrel before I change anything.

    Touch Hole?

    Nothing like it pal! :wink: Can't wait to take it to the cabin. Ready to hear her crack down in the hollow and give the deer a hint of what's coming this fall!

    Touch Hole?

    Well, got the TH drilled yesterday,went back to the range today and she works like a charm. I don't know how many shots I got off today, lost count.Had a great time! Now if I can get the thing sighted in. Seems i'm a little bit everywhere. Have to put it on a bench so I can get a real feel for...

    Touch Hole?

    Thanks :thumbsup: I may have the TH drilled to 1/16 also. Thanks to Stumkiller and Hanshi. Fire is good!

    Touch Hole?

    The shaft of the 1/16 bit will not fit into the touch hole.

    Touch Hole?

    I did not run a dry patch down before shooting and no swab between shots, just picked the touch hole. I really didn't think it would build up that fast. Using pre-lubed patches, did spit on a couple for ease though. Maybe over lubed? My first flintlock rifle. Had a .69 smoothie that never gave...

    Touch Hole?

    Went back to the range today with my .50 cal TVM So. Mt. Have not put a file to it yet. Seems to be getting tighter or i'm getting use to it. After four rounds, I was getting nothing but a pan flash. Using 2F in barrel and 3F in the pan. After two shots I picked the touch hole and brushed it...

    Video - TVM's Virginia Longrifle - The full video

    Great video! :thumbsup: Ditto on using the alcohol swabs. I have access to them, but never thought of using them in my rifle gun.
