    MUZZLE CONING TOOL

    I bought this coning tool from Joe because of all the good reports that have been posted about it and Mike Beliveau's good videos. I got the 50 cal. and used it to cone the barrel on my Thompson Center Hawken and my Kibler Colonial Flint. The instructions were good and the tool worked great...

The kid said it hadn't been shot...

    September 2023 Postal Match Target - Let's Go Bowling!

    I should have stayed focused on the bowling ball rather than the top of the pins. And wow that one low flyer was a surprise. Shot this with my Kibler Colonial 50 cal with 90 gr. homemade powder, .500 RB, .012 patch lubed with Ballistol & Water mix. It was fun to shoot. Thanks a bunch Gary...

    May 2023 Postal Target

    Nice shooting PK with that Fusil de Chasse smoothie. Not very likely I will do that good with my Kibler Colonial rifle when I get out.
