    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

    1f for 12ga

    Ive shot 1F in my 12 ga guns for many yrs with excellent results an many turkey kills. I get better patterns no matter if im loading for turkey or smaller game. Its a tad dirtier but you got to clean it anyway so what does it matter. As a general rule that I go by if i were going to load 80 FFg...

    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...

    12 ga 32 inch colerain oct to round barrel thats been jug choked Xfull by Danny Caywood. 1st target is 15 yds an the big holes is 700 ball. I favor shooting big shot at longbeards so my shot is a equal mix of 2 an 4. Im also a big fan of Fg in big bore smoothbores. The 2nd target is 30 yds...

    Lest we forget V.M. Starr's shotgun wisdom

    Barrels by Rayl, Getz, or Colerain

    Colerain is still in business. Great barrels. Rayl I dont know about. I have tried to get a barrel from him an have never been able to get him by phone. Getz is run by John an I hear you can only get a barrel from him if your lucky. Ive got an really like Burton barrels but im told he would...

    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.

    CHARLES BURTON 250 S. LIDDIE WAY MOREHEAD, KY 40351 (606)780-7709 [email protected]

    I have had 4 of his barrels. All shot great. He does great work WHEN he aint riding his harley. If you've got lots of patience you will get a fine barrel. If your low on patience then you better go another route.

    12 ga fowler

    Im a 12 fan. Ive got 3. All are jug choked by Danny Caywood. My Turkey gun is choked more than the other 2. I dont know the measurements to tell you. I can tell you that it makes the patterns much better an really extends the range

    Powder in the N AL/S TN area

    Order it to your door. I know hazmat is high but so is gas an your time is worth something. So you can order as little as 5 lbs or up to 50 I think. Get more than you think you will need. https://www.grafs.com/

    BEST CALIBER TO HUNT DEER W/ FLINTLOCK RIFLE

    Ive taken deer with 45s an 54s and they do a good job but here in my neck of the wood the thickets are THICK an if one does not drop on the spot you need a good blood trail. Big holes equal bigger blood flow which makes for a better more visible blood trail to follow. Im a 62 cal fan not for the...
