    CANNON QUESTION

    Its my understanding (rookie at best) that cannon barrels weren't rifled till about mid American civil war. Is that true? I would have thought someone, somewhere would have tinkered with rifling a barrel when rifling for pistols and shoulder arms became more the norm. Perhaps, it was...

    Started Finishing My Kibler

    Well, this week, I started finishing my Kibler Colonial. Some really good sanding being mindful not to get beneath the depth of some of the brass parts or "recurve" any of the surfaces. Used a nice coat Laurel Mountain stock stain and I must say, it's looks pretty dang good. A little light...

    Working brass.

    I think I'll shine up the brass when I'm finally done and just let it gae naturally. I'll probably do a cold browning on the barrel.

    Working brass.

    That's a very good point. I'm having similar thoughts about keeping the barrel "white" and letting it age. I appreciate your input. -Doc

    Working brass.

    Been removing the casting marks on my Kibler Colonial kit brass pieces. After filing, wet sanding they shine and are silk smooth. Now I'm wondering if I should keep the pieces shiny or chemically "antique" them. Im kinda siding with antiquing them. What say yee? -Doc

    I got his extra fancy which even fresh out of the box looks really really nice. I started out with plain but upgraded quickly to fancy. After about a month, I went all in on the extra fancy. I'll try to take a pic of the wood and post it soon. --Doc

    Lamp Black

    I scraped a bunch of my wife's candle jar tops, the undersides had quite a bit of lamp black. Added just a "touch" of olive oil and I was in business!

    Lamp Black

    Whilst waiting for my jar of Prussian Blue transfer color to arrive, I decided to try a little lamp black. I raided my wife's collection of Yankee candle jars and yep, under the glass lids was quite a bit of soot or lamp black. It works like a charm!!!! -Doc
