    Anyone notice less cap jams on the Dance Brothers revolver?

    Any thoughts on caps jams on the Dance Brothers revolver compared to standard Colt’s with the recoil shield? I might hazard a guess that capping a Dance might be easier too. I’ve never handled one, just curious to see what owners think.

    “Posted Bridle”?

    As far as I know, Jim Kibler’s locks are the only currently available locks that have a bridle with integral posts machined in them. These fit into the recessed holes on the back side of the lock plate and this configuration allows the tumbler to be perfectly aligned for best/fast operation. I...

    Trouble cleaning one groove.

    Looking for opinions on this situation. I must have run over 100 patches down this .54 bore, first with tepid water, soap and a flush tube, then with Birchwood Caseys #77 black powder solvent, bronze brushing, Ballistol, and even PB Blaster. Have a look at the cleaning patches. There is one...

    Took two retired work friends out to the range

    While they first shot unmentionables, I shot the Kibler .54 Colonial that I finished late winter. They were both immediately impressed. I let them both fire it with .530 patched round ball and anywhere from the normal 65 grains Goex FFG to 130 grains Goex FFG. They both loved it and one of them...

    1983 “Rescued” Lyman GPR .54

    Hello all!, I finally made it to the range with my “rescued” 1983 Lyman GPR .54. I had just installed a new front sight blade since the one on it was a completely hacked mess. I had no idea where it would hit at this point. First time shooting it today at 25 yards, 5 shots. Not too bad for a...

    1983 Lyman GPR worm eaten mess

    Hello Everyone! I just finished a restore/repair to a Lyman GPR I bought recently. I looked good but had a cracked stock, wood gouged out under the lock, around the lock and a notch where someone mounted a side sight. The crack looked repairable with old glue which had come loose but I found...

    Two piece stock

    Hello to all, I’ve got a problem. The Lyman GPR I just bought has the bottom 1/4 of the rear stock riddled with wood worm holes and their sawdust tracking that it is ruined. I cut off the damaged part as it is beyond hope. I’m certain I can glue another piece of maple on and reshape/ restore...

    WANTED Lyman GPR stock

    Good day to all. I’m hoping someone has an old reasonably priced stock for a Lyman GPR. I’m kind if bummed out. I recently bought an older well worn Lyman GPR with a cracked stock. In attempting a repair to the stock I found the lower 1/4 of the butt area to be riddled the sawdust from wood...

    Hello to all! I’m assuming the Kibler kits have a flat faced breech plug and that the vent is properly located just in front of the plug face. Can anyone tell me if this is the way his are made? So far, all of my flintlock rifles have a chambered breech with a reduced diameter of the flash...
