    Hawken Worth

    Absolutely, a well-built muzzleloader should be worth more than the cost of the parts even if the builder isn't known. And I'm not suggesting that this gun wouldn't be worth $1200 (I barely looked at the photos and there are only 2 of them), but I just added up the cost of the parts listed and...

    Venmo Scams

    I tend to do what the seller wants if it's reasonable and not an obvious scam. If it looks weird or too good to be true, I do my due diligence and often or usually back out of the transaction. I have a brother who's an antique collector, buyer and seller who also happens to like black powder...

    2024 Turkey Hunting

    I only hunt turkeys with a flintlock. My state (PA) has always allowed flintlock rifles in the fall, but only fowler/shotgun in the spring. Assuming I go (I've killed a pile of them and don't hunt spring birds much anymore), I'll be using a 20 gauge flintlock fowler that I built.

    Questions on Kibler Rifles

    I live seasonally in Seneca, SC. I have a Kibler SMR, but I don't have it down here, it's at my northern place. Happy to discuss with you at some point, but I can't show you mine. The only question becomes whether you really like the Colonial or the Woodsrunner and whether you see them as...

    What wood is this?

    Beech maybe? Birch? Some type of hardwood that will be fine for it's purpose, but not particularly interesting or attractive to me (though this one does show more grain than many of them did).

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I live in northcentral Pennsylvania and the squirrel population seemed to be up this year from previous years. Oddly, lots of black squirrels as well. I used to see maybe 1 black squirrel in ten on my property and I think this year it was probably 1 out of 3 were black. Not sure why. Good...

    I'm pretty sure that he suggested as much in one of his videos.

    Shipping gunstock blanks....

    Sign of the times and the absolute stupidity of some people I guess. Thankfully, where I live carrying around a stock blank in public still doesn't raise an eyebrow. I dearly hope that it stays that way. That said, my wife and I recently purchased a seasonal retirement home in lake country...

    Shipping gunstock blanks....

    I just shipped it at the local post office and they didn't say boo about it. It was $31 and change priority mail from northern PA to southern OH. Too much for sure, but not really any more than I expected at this point in time.

    Shipping gunstock blanks....

    To be honest, halfway is probably 3 hours for me and I can't imagine that Jim Kibler has the time or any desire to be driving to pick up this gun blank. You're right, if it was just a private sale to someone or a transfer to a buddy, even with gas prices through the roof it might be worth...

    Shipping gunstock blanks....

    I don't have a UPS depot very nearby and don't really feel like going out of my way if it's only going to be $5 difference. Any idea what I can expect to pay to Ohio from northern PA via USPS or UPS? Standard SMR blank, so probably 5 pounds or more in its raw state.

    Shipping gunstock blanks....

    Thanks. I don't have a shipping label, can I just take it to the post office and have them create one with the addresses that I give them? Of course I can just as easily write the address on a piece of white paper and cover it with packing tape. Thoughts?

    Shipping gunstock blanks....

    I've seen this question asked before, but I want to be sure before I do anything and risk the ire of the USPS or risk damage/theft. A friend wanted to build a Kibler SMR and he chose to provide his own wood (which I'm giving him). He's already ordered the rifle and I need to get the curly...

    This is pretty scary!

    I have a buddy who's into fly fishing and he's constantly purchasing titles that he later finds he already had. He ships them to me and I get free books all the time. Truth is that it's happened so frequently that I actually feel guilty about it.

    Welcome from northern PA. I lived in Nottingham for a short time (3 years) and my wife attended Oxford High School.

    PA fall turkey

    The digest and the website clearly state that muzzleloading rifles, shotguns and handguns are amongst the lawful arms and ammunition for fall turkey. It specifically prohibits centerfire rifles, but not muzzleloaders.

    FOR SALE Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, .50 percussion, Trade accepted/Sold

    Thanks Notchy Bob. I think so too. I've always tried to be fair with my initial pricing on items that I've sold because I don't want to be embarrassed, nor do I want to force potential buyers to make lots of lowball offers. I've seen what they've been bringing, I know what condition this one...

    FOR SALE Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, .50 percussion, Trade accepted/Sold

    I have interest from 3 different posters and I'll consider the offers that they make, but as of this time, I still haven't accepted an offer and I'll listen if anyone wants to make an offer. I'm pretty open-minded about trades, but obviously want it to be something of equal quality/value (or...
