    Stock blank size question.

    Had to take down a maple tree in the yard. The school has a saw mill and will cut it for me. What is a good thickness for a blank?

    Wiping between shots

    My son and I were wiping between shots and having lots of misfires. Stopped wiping and that went away. We figured we were clogging things up down at the flash hole. But it seems we must have been doing something wrong. We were using a spit moistened patch followed by dry. Read about it...

    Aging a Cherry Stock naturally….?

    So I’m getting ready to do the stock finishing on my Kibler SMR in cherry. I’m not going to use lye and I’ve heard that staining can be hit or miss with cherry. So I have some sealer that was purchased from Kibler. I was thinking about a few coats of shellac thinned with denatured alcohol...

    What are the Woods Walk rules?

    They are reset with a string that leads back to the shooting position. This is not for a ML woods walk but for practice with airguns.

    What are the Woods Walk rules?

    That's what I'm looking for. We do similar type shoots with airguns and smaller targets. Ranges are normally 10-55 yards. Animal silhouettes that fall when hit in the kill zone. I was going to set up a Woods Walk with airguns to mimic the ML matches. Question, all the distances are...

    What are the Woods Walk rules?

    I’m looking to set up a practice range at or local airgun club. Are there minimum/maximum distances, forced shooting positions, etc. Thanks, Paul

    Which Kibler?

    Thanks for the input gentleman. One thing I was considering and hasn’t come up yet is the twist rate difference for PRB. If I remember correctly, the 45 is 1/66 and the 40 is 1/48. I’ve heard that the 40 is a wonderfully accurate rifle. But wouldn’t it be limited in charge capacity for PRB...

    Which Kibler?

    Actually, I’m almost 100% decided on the SMR, but which caliber. Primarily I’ll be using it for competitions but will hunt too. I hear the .40 is good. It’s the smallest caliber you can deer hunt with here in Alabama. Thanks for the help Paul

    Target rifle recommendations (patch and ball).

    Looking at the Pedersoli Jäger Target but I don't know a lot about them or even what is out there. My shooting will be limited to 100 yards and the rifle could be used to hunt with as well. It's my understanding that the Pedersoli Jäger can be swapped between flint and percussion by changing...

    Help me decide.... fast twist Pedersoli, White Muzzleloader Sporter or.....

    So, what's the difference between a snail and a bolster?

    Help me decide.... fast twist Pedersoli, White Muzzleloader Sporter or.....

    I have a couple of percussion rifles. A .36 Thompson I bought and a .50 CVA 1/66 twist that was given to me by a friend. Both shoot well. But I'm looking for a fast twist rifle that will better handle bullets, conicals and/or Minie Balls. I'd like to do some longer range shooting. I feel...

    Anybody making their own percussion caps or using centerfire primers?

    I've read that small pistol primers can be used with plastic tubing. And then there's this> Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Making Percussion Caps and Primers But Were Afraid to Google - The Truth About Guns So, anyone doing any of these things? Thanks, Paul

    New to me TC Seneca .36

    So I just bought a .50 TC Hawken and the very next weekend another friend brought a TC Seneca in .36 that I feel in love with. I'm selling the .50 as I really didn't have the cash for both and I like the smaller Seneca. Question, where can a get a drop in barrel for the Seneca. I'd like one...

    TC Seneca .36

    Very interesting. Would .358 or .356 diameter cast for .38 special or 9mm work?
