    Finished My Woodsrunner (Sort of)

    Well, I finished my woodsrunner apart from the lock. Still undecided what I want to do with the lock, but I'm leaning towards a polish and some light border engraving. This is the second rifle I've built (both Kiblers) and the first time I've ever carved any wood.

    SOLD (SPF) Kibler Colonial .50, $1400

    I have a Kibler Colonial rifle in .50 caliber for sale here. I acquired this kit partially finished and completed it myself. I believe it is one of the earlier Colonial kits. I'm fairly certain it is the standard grade maple stock, though as you can see, it shows some pretty nice figure. The...

    SOLD (Price Reduced) Pecatonica .50 Kentucky Flintlock Pistol Kit with Extras $650

    I've got an untouched Pecatonica Kentucky pistol kit here. The barrel is .50 cal and rifled, the stock is walnut, and the standard brass furniture is included. I just have too many projects going at the moment and could use the money instead. The barrel has the breech plug installed, underlug...

    Galesburg, Illinois Heritage Days

    Just curious if anyone on here will be attending this event August 20-22. This will likely be my first event doing any sort of rendezvous/reenactment and it would be good to talk to some folks!

    SOLD ($1000 Shipped) Original M.T. Wickham U.S. Contract Model 1816 Musket

    As the title says, I've got a Wickham Model 1816 I'd like to sell. I believe it was manufactured in the 1820's as there appears to be some of the original brown finish mixed in among the patina. It was a fairly short period during the 1820's when these were browned. There are matching assembly...

    Filling Scrimshaw Work On Horns

    I'm sure some discussion on this has to exist on the forum here somewhere but after searching I can't find much. Basically, I have done some carving on my horn and plan to add more but am looking for the best option for dark fill down in the carving to make it show up well. So far I have just...

    Second Finish On My First Flintlock

    Well I just recently finished refinishing my kibler colonial. I didn't use tannic acid the first time and finished with permalyn and was just never really happy with it. I just knew I could do better. So I sanded it all down and redid it. This time I carved some simple molding lines along the...

    CLOSED Scottish Baskethilt Broadsword

    Well I thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of. I have been looking at the ones made by Cold Steel and Hanwei for a 1750's-1760's 42nd Royal Highland Regiment. I would possibly be open to other brands as well, so if you have one you're thinking...

    Two Feathers

    I'd just like to add to the already positive feedback here for Two Feathers. Recently ordered a patch knife from him and the quality is very clear. The knife and sheath were just as pictured and of top quality. What really sets him apart is the service though. I ordered just before the holidays...

    Scrimshawing a Powder Horn

    My powder horns shipped today and am planning to scrimshaw the larger non-priming horn. I was wondering about what knives people use to do this. I have some craft type exacto knives with the interchangeable blades. Would something like that work or do I need to look for something else?

    Am I crazy?

    I am 95% sure I will be ordering a rifle from the sitting fox in the next week or so here. And although everything is going to be inlet already and the under plugs installed, I am little afraid I might not be able to handle this project. I have never owned a bp gun or even fired one, although I...
