    Grandpa stories

    Kibler side effect?

    In my opinion A Pennsylvania style is a rifle made in PENNSYLVANIA and a Kentucky style rifle is one made in KENTUCKY just like an Indiana style would be made in INDIANA. I personally like the Berks county rifles especially the earlier ones. You actually have 6 different areas. there is the...

    What would you build?

    I made one to look like a long rifle that had been cut back.

    Suggestions for 'old time' dark/black stain or dye?

    Angelus black leather dye it is alcohol based so it doesn't raise the grain like Frieberg which is water based.

    Kibler side effect?

    Jim Kibler himself posted on this thread that he makes "non customizable kits". That statement reminds me of what Henry Ford said about the Model T," you can have any color you want as long as it is black". That went on to make Ford one of the leading companies in the auto industry. But even...

    Trigger guard install

    Well been doing it my way for 45 plus years and it works. It isn't really my way because that is what I was taught by individuals who had more experience. I checked out your proof off the net, Turns out it is just a forum just like this kinda like the ones that tell you brass is harder...

    Heating brass and letting it air cool will harden it. To anneal brass you heat it red then quench in water just the opposite of steel

    Just One Gun

    My first rifle was a CVA Mountain Rifle kit when they first came out, Bought the first one I saw. Good rifle off the bench but it just didn't fit me so I never could get good offhand with it always in the middle of the pack. Bought books on how to make rifles saved up and started buying parts to...

    Kibler side effect?

    I have to say that some of the post on here concerning left hand shooters have been totally uncalled for. I understand the stress that Jim Kibler must be going through right now. He has a very expensive piece of machinery that isn't making any money for his business but is costing him money...

    What Style?

    Some would call it an Ohio rifle. Truth is original rifles like that were being made anywhere rifles were being made from the 1840's through the 1850's.

    Accuracy standard

    It depends on the type of shooting you are going to be doing. 99% of my shooting has been in competition or in practicing for it. What I would like to see every time is like the picture I posted. Any rifle I own even if it is just for hunting I expect to shoot a 1 hole group, then the rest is up...
