    Will the bottom fall out of the custom build business?

    Regarding the ease of the Kibler kits, I think it has opened up a whole lot more opportunities for less skilled folks out there to get into the sport for less investment or wait. I am not sure how many have been sold, but the majority that I have seen are simply done with no engraving or...

    LH Caywood Fowler 12ga

    Blowing down the barrel

    If we forget about range rules or the Commandments - What's unsafe about it? Seriously. I mean you put your hand over an actual loaded gun when ramming.

    Went Hunting and Left my .54 loaded for 3 days

    I often leave mine loaded for months. I recently had a Hawken loaded for over a year. Even moved from Michigan to Wisconsin with it loaded. Went off just fine. bullseye. Use Mink oil as well for patch lube. I do use musket caps however.
