    Kibler side effect?

    And a hearty Thank You! from all of us that have bought one of your guns and will most likely buy again. Best wishes for your continued success.

    Flintlock flinching

    You may be right for all the right handed shooters but us left handed always see the flash. Like said above, the fundamentals and practice practice practice.

    Cleaning the .32 Kentucky. oops!

    You did well, problem solved. Never should have had to though. This problem along with many other fit and function issues are why so many are so vocal about many import guns. I’ll bet you’ll terrorize those bushy tailed tree rats now. Enjoy your rifle!

    Which Rifle?

    @Winterhawk said: “ Is it HC? No, but it does look like something built from parts available in a backwoods community.” This is an excellent point. How many backwoods, bubba’d or otherwise guns from earlier times were actually somewhat historically correct based on their existence during their...

    A first attempt at a Gourd Canteen

    Definitely not an expert here. I was just speaking from experience with a meerschaum lined gourd pipe. It was loaded with black mold but hey go for it! Perhaps the beeswax will prevent that. A thousand pardons for ruffling the fletchings for Brokennock. Expert: An ex is a has been A spurt is a...

    Fly position on SMR lock

    Quality has no comparison to budget “it’ll get by ok”.

    Cleetus...a "Flint-cussion" gun?

    Really novel way to re-purpose a frizzen and destroy a good lock. Ebay would have been a better option but whatever.

    Fly position on SMR lock

    Thank you, missed that. I should have said the only time I’ve ever seen that configutation is on a left hand hand lock. Learned something today! And now, apparently, Jim Kibler is doing it on the Ketland SMR. Now curious, did original Ketland locks have feature this also?

    A first attempt at a Gourd Canteen

    A gourd canteen might be a cool idea for display. I would not recommend actually using it as it would be next to impossible to dry it out completely and it could very easily foster mold growth, including black mold which is toxic. When refilled again you would be inoculating yourself with God...

    Fly position on SMR lock

    Never in my life have I seen the fly installed on the lock plate side of the tumbler. All locks I‘ve ever seen has the fly on the bridle side of the tumbler, and I’ve seen many locks. Now I’m curious, who made that lock?

    Welcome from Minnesota. But didn’t you get shot in 1980?

    Yup, absolutely right. The Credo of progressivism… Your old road is rapidly changing, Get out of the new road if you can’t lend a hand, For he who gets hurt will be he that has stalled. The times they are a-changin’- Bob Dylan

    It means “This is on the chopping block and no long fits the new regime’s goals.”

    The Tenuous Future of Living History

    A consultant or expert is engaged to find or harvest facts or truths that support the employer’s goals, not necessarily truths or facts discovered that negate or diminish those goals. The employer can and will usually dismiss any research that conflicts with their goals. This is how mule muffins...

    New Uberti 1861 Navy from Midway. Buyer Beware!

    Good for you that you refrained from stooping to the level of you-know-who. Enjoy your new pistol and good shooting! (Wish I could do that well at 50 yards!)

    Kibler side effect?

    One has to wonder if any of the stitch counters has an artificial knee, hip, missing an appendix, cataract surgery or reliance on modern prescriptions. If it is a juried event or an absolute historically authentic event, then Ok, count yer dang stitches. If not, be helpful, not condescending...
