    Hawkins 50 cal

    I have an older TC that I have to use thinner patches to start a .490 round ball. Follow Grenadier's suggestion.

    Kibler colonial rifle kit.

    All the finishing supplies came from Jim's shop. Iron nitrate and his sealer. Sealer was mixed with a bit of bone black in a few areas. All the metal (brass and steel) was wiped with Jim's brass tarnish solution.

    Kibler colonial rifle kit.

    Just finished this one a few weeks back. The 50 is the heaviest in the colonial but the balance is awesome. The weight is not a problem for me. The problem I have is the length of pull. It is really long for me to use.

    There is nothing like swinging 43" of steel to get on target.

    Kibler Buck.

    Just a small spike buck. About an 80 yard lung shot. I didn't realize he was a buck till I found him.

    I sent a few round balls through it this afternoon. The first three went in the circle. After that the group opened up.

    You are correct, Hatchet Jack. It is Jim's Colonial in 50 caliber. I've had it for a year, working on it on rainy days. Finally got the lock parts cleaned up and back together on Monday evening.

    Another Help me decide, I'm new to BP and Flintlocks post!

    While at the fabric store buying pillow ticking, grab a yard or two of plain white cotton to cut up for cleaning patches. You will need lots of them if you do any amount of shooting.
