    Finished pictures of Kibler kit...

    Did you ever take that gun out and range test it? Would be interested to hear if it shoots as good as it looks. Merry Christmas.

    Track of the wolf and the lefthand builder

    I am a lefty, all my MLs are left handed. The vast majority of my modern rifles are left handed and the ones I hunt dangerous game with for sure are left handed. I have let my hunting partners and quite a few people at the range shoot my left handed rifles. They adapt but find it VERY...

    Flintlock Addiction, is there any hope?

    Once the addiciton strikes it is almost impossible to shake. Crack addicts jhave an easier time kicking their rock habit than Rock Lock users.

    Reasons Your Gun Didn't Sell

    Well said and great advice. When I post an ad I try very hard to provide all the information possible as well as at least 3 quality pictures. I have sold a pile of stuff in the last 18 months and all at top prices. Most is sold the same day I post the ad yet i see good guns listed for months...

    Butch's Bore Shine

    Spit works fine it your aren't leaving the gun loaded for a long time and if the weather is above freezing. If either is not true then some form of lube is a better choice. I use Hoppes patch lube because it is often -10 or colder when we are out hunting. Like so many others have said, for...

    Lyman Left Hand Rifles

    Well, no replies at all after more than a week. I am hoping that means good news and that Lyman is going to continue making LH Flint and Percussion rifles. That is a very good thing. They aren't fantastic rifles but they are pretty good for the price and are the rifle a lot of people started...

    Lyman Left Hand Rifles

    I have now heard a couple of times that Lyman is planning to quit making some or all of the left hand models, both percussion and flint, they have been making. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this and exactly which models they dropped or plan to drop. Thanks for the help.

    TVM Woes! :(

    So you never even called the company to see if they would fix the problem yet you feel the need to post your issues here. A ramrod hole being off happens. Unless you talked to TVM to see if they would replace the stock then you have no business complaining on a public forum when the vendor has...

    Bear

    Up here there are places with so many Black Bears they are considered Vermin. You don't need a Tag to shoot Black Bear on private property year round as long as you have the owners permission. I did bear control for many years, fall is a particularly bad time for bears getting into Oat and...

    TVM Woes! :(

    So this thread started 2 months ago and still no update from the OP on what happened with TVM. My bet is TVM made it right and I would think it is only fair to post the outcome as these kinds of threads can have a real bad effect on a gun makers reputation.

    Joined the Rocklock Society

    Nice rifle. I am a lefty too and much prefer LH guns. I will NOT shoot a right hand flint left handed. Yes, I know there are lots of guys doing it, mostly because they are too cheap or too lazy to buy the proper gun. A person can learn to tolerate almost anything, it does not make it a good idea...

    Thoughts on SPAM "meat"

    The North American fascination with refrigeration is interesting. I grew up in France. Eggs, Cheese, Bread, Milk and many kinds of meat were never refrigerated there. Eggs and cheese will last for months without being refrigerated. Most meats, milk and the like will easily last a few days, as...

    Impact of cold temperature on ballistics

    I am a Canadian too. I have shot Flintlocks in -40 weather. At 100 yards there is not discernible difference in POI from where it is at +25C. If your son is shooting over it isn't the temperature effect on POI. There are lots of good suggestions above, anyone of which could be a contributing...

    Can Anyone Tell me what A pound Of Powder Cost in 1898

    I was looking at some historical prices for stuff based on; I wish I lived back then thoughts. Interestingly enough, outside of taxes, pretty much everything else was actually more to far more expensive when converted to today's dollars. It would have taken quite a good income to live...

    A good bore light?

    Cheapest option that will fit all calibers is the light for a fishing bobber. They cost less than a Buck, are easy to find, turn off and on and will probably last your life time if just used for looking at Bores. Just saw Herman already posted this on the first page, complete with video link.

    Who makes a Good Hawken Style Rifle?

    Fred You do nice work buddy. Dutch, I think you know Taylor Sapergia excellent builder out of Canada. With the 30% better US dollar he might be able to build one close to your price range. If you tell him the whole story he may be able to work with you an timelines. I have one of his LH Hawken...

    Unboxing video of my new TVM Early Lancaster Lefty Rifle

    Very nice. Clearly worth the wait. Did a nice job on the left handed version, and being a lefty I know how some builders struggle to get a LH Flinter to look good.

    Can U decide on only one gun?

    A percussion drilling in 2 smooth 12x12 over 54 rifled cal. Or side by side percussion in 12 smooth x 62 rifled. Drillings are the perfect rig for the one gun man.
