    Quick Shipment

    On March 23rd I ordered a Kibler Colonial Rifle kit. I was told a 3 month wait and it shipped today! Kind of excited and sort of nervous. Never been down the kit road before. Thought I would make this a father/son project. We are going to try and take our time and do it right, no hurry. The...

    .40's Kibler build

    What a beautiful work of art. Thinking about ordering one, would love to do a Kibler kit with my father and sons. It would make a great family heirloom. I'm a little nervous, I've never assembled or built a long rifle before. Sure would be nice to see dad shoot the finished product. Congrats on...

    French & Indian War Era Flintlock Rifles

    I know this thread has some age to it. My question; where is the Peter Vrooman rifle located? My g-grandfather x7 was Peter Vrooman, b. 1682 in this area. His son Isaac was my g-grandfather x6, he was killed at Vroomanland in 1781 by Indians & Tories. He also had a brother named Peter who later...

    Tennessee Halfstock?

    Picture of a halfstock taken off of a dead Confederate soldier after the battle of Ft. Donelson, TN. by Gen. Lew Wallace. A beautiful rifle,a lot of great work was put into it. A lot of good southern flavor. The patch-box lid looks to be silver and what appears to be silver caps on the end of...

    Touch Hole?

    It felt really great to hear a snap along with a good bang! Hanshi, point well taken. I'm not to eager to start shaving metal. I will bench it and see what's going on with it. I need to put some more shots down the barrel before I change anything.

    Touch Hole?

    Nothing like it pal! :wink: Can't wait to take it to the cabin. Ready to hear her crack down in the hollow and give the deer a hint of what's coming this fall!

    Touch Hole?

    Well, got the TH drilled yesterday,went back to the range today and she works like a charm. I don't know how many shots I got off today, lost count.Had a great time! Now if I can get the thing sighted in. Seems i'm a little bit everywhere. Have to put it on a bench so I can get a real feel for...

    Touch Hole?

    Thanks :thumbsup: I may have the TH drilled to 1/16 also. Thanks to Stumkiller and Hanshi. Fire is good!

    Touch Hole?

    The shaft of the 1/16 bit will not fit into the touch hole.

    Touch Hole?

    I did not run a dry patch down before shooting and no swab between shots, just picked the touch hole. I really didn't think it would build up that fast. Using pre-lubed patches, did spit on a couple for ease though. Maybe over lubed? My first flintlock rifle. Had a .69 smoothie that never gave...

    Touch Hole?

    Went back to the range today with my .50 cal TVM So. Mt. Have not put a file to it yet. Seems to be getting tighter or i'm getting use to it. After four rounds, I was getting nothing but a pan flash. Using 2F in barrel and 3F in the pan. After two shots I picked the touch hole and brushed it...

    It has a "42 Green Mountain Barrel,Siler Lock and double set triggers. Barrel and lock are browned. Swede50, i'm not sure of the weight, no swamped barrel. It's a lot lighter than my Armi Sport 1842 Springfield and Pedersoli 1816 flintlock muskets. Smooth shooting compared to the ladder two.It...

Looks great and no damage from shipping.Took her to the range and played for a while, was shooting center, but 4 to 6 inches low at 25 to 30 yards. Using 70 grain BP...
