    Kibler lock In Chambers fowler?

    The Chambers lock has been getting it done several decades before the Kibler came into being. I have round faced english and virginia locks an trust them 100%. I personaly think you would be wasting time changing them

    Loading down for a .62 flinter

    Ive shot 62 cal rifles for years. Ive killed a bunch of deer with them. My standard load is 80 gns. Its accurate an has all the power I need as my shots are all close range. 50 yards or less in very thick cover. I dont shoot 62s for power. I shoot 62s for the big blood leaking holes they give...

    L&R Locks

    Ive never personally owned a L&R an never will. Ive read enough bad things on many different forums an knowing my luck I would get the worst one ever to ship out the door. The only way I would use a L&R lock is if I absolutely had to. Since you need a back action you may have to so I would have...

    A Lefty Caywood / Roby Northwest Gun

    I have several of the Caywood locks on different guns. Great sparkers an fast as any lock out there. The one an only negative thing I can see about Caywood locks is he is a one man operation an springs should you ever need one might be hard to get one day. If your gonna keep the gun I would...

    Fowler versus sighted smoothbore barrel question

    Go with the back sight an get it jug choked. I wont have a smoothbore without sights an jug. TIghter rounder patterns an shoots balls accurately. You can always take the back sight off if a shoot somewhere requires it.
