    ¿Dumb question about Kibler flintlocks and WTS listings on this site?

    Understand the appeal of a flintlock from Jim Kibler. It is #2 on my lust list right under a @Rob M. trade gun. But why are there so many completed kits listed for sale? Heck, I intend for the great grand kids to be fighting over that old grumpy so&so's favOrite flintlock rifle. Any insight...

    Trade Gun barrel Lengths from "For Trade and Treaty" book

    Used the book, For Trade and Treaty, to start at its page 25 to make a tally from the columns of imports using the Google app Sheets. Once this tally was done, made a quick and dirty graph. From the data on the left, the bulk of the trade guns that were documented in that book had barrels of...

    Flintlock coyotes?

    Got a Pedersoli Flintlock .32 carbine that I want to take out to trim down the coyotes on the farm. There are several large concrete&brick dumps in washes where they now have dens. Range will be point blank to about 100 feet. Will a .310” PRB be OK to dispatch a coyote? Pretty sure it will but...

    WANTED Hard or padded case for 1842 musket

    Have an original Model 1842 musket with an 1850 date. I go about 6+ hours one way to an N-SSA match & don’t like the idea of wrapping it up in a moving blanket. Then, at the match getting from the camp site to range & back, look like Joe Stuff the rag man. Haven’t found an older goose gun case...

I believe that part of the problem is that I’m 6’5”ish(which is a bit taller that the normal ACW soldier) which means that my cheek weld is the problem. Would changing that to a more head up...

    Due to the lead time with Loyalist Arms, called their US "associate"(don't know official business relationship) "The Muzzleloader Shop" to ask some questions.
