    A new rifle from Jud Brennan hits the Lower 48.

    This is a concept/fantasy rifle from Jud Brennan that recently hit a rifle black hole in Kentucky. Astronomers say the black hole is centered near Paris, KY. and will suck in any nice rifle that gets close to it. This is a .50cal. persimmon stocked concept rifle. It has a Rice barrel and a...

    Patience is your friend. 😊. For about $1300 you can get a plain Woods runner with great parts.

    Their Dixies had their own Ashmore locks not Silers. They also had the short rail triggerguards. The profile is also different also the triggers. Building a new rifle would have been easier than modifying a Dixie Mountain Rifle.

    Those are the old North Star triggers. They are made that way. You might be able to put a screw under the mainspring to put a little slack in the spring. That will let you cock the lock without setting the triggers. You just drill and tap a hole in the trigger plate under the arch of the...

    ¿Dumb question about Kibler flintlocks and WTS listings on this site?

    I bought a Kibler Colonial that Mike Brooks dolled up. It was a nice well balanced .58 cal., but someone wanted it more than I did. Then the Woodsrunner came out and I ordered one to see how easy they were to assemble. Mostly a metal polishing exercise. I wasn't trying to make money so I...

    FOR SALE Hoyt .62cal. Jaeger barrel.

    If there is no interest, I have two more stocks. This time I'll send the barrel and wood off to be properly inletted and build one myself. I have visions of a .62cal. poorboy jaeger sort of thing. Might try this one with a side grinder ala Jack Garner. He built many a rifle with a side...

    SPECIAL SELECT MAPLE Kibler Kits Move quickly!!!

    I worked in a paper mill with all the overtime I wanted for 27yrs. Every time we got a new contract I raised my 401k deduction by half the pay raise until I was up to 20% deduction of my weekly before taxes pay. Overtime covered the deductions. Now I have a worry-free retirement income but...

    Found a rifle in the mail!

    We were DEW. The mission was to extend the land-based radar in the early days, but missiles made that irrelevant for the continental US. Then it changed to TDYs into conflict zones to look for the bad guys and, if needed, vector fighters to them. We also carried radio intercept intel guys...

    Found a rifle in the mail!

    Auctions are a gamble, but not too bad a deal for the cost of a Kibler colonial and an afternoon in the shop.

    Found a rifle in the mail!

    50yds. benched. .526 ball with 85gr. 2F. I always shoot at 50. Any rifle will shoot a cloverleaf at 25yds. I use the tape cross because it gives a good sighting reference both axes. More pics. The top picture is the new, correct hammer and bottom picture is the old one from a standard...
