    First pouch I ever made

    Glad to be an inspiration! Was fun to do, and not as difficult as i thought it may be. I did debate for awhile how deep i wanted to make the opening to the double pouches, or if i wanted to just make the divide right at the mouth.

    First pouch I ever made

    Sounds like a woven strap may be the way to go then since so many of you recommend them haha.

    First pouch I've ever made

    Haha true, don't see too many store bought double bags. I didn't include in the first post, but its a smallish bag, maybe 7 or so inches across. Debating not whether I should add strap starters on the bag with D rings or just sew a strap straight to the back and use a button on the bag for strap...

    First pouch I ever made

    Hello All, Decided to make my first pouch, and instead of something simple i decided to make a double pouch. I didn't use any premade pattern, and think it turned out pretty good all things considered. I did get a little hasty and should have added the strap before I added the flap, but i'll...

    making a grease hole in a Kibler SMR

    Since the topic is already here, how would one go about carving the teardrop shaped grease hole as in this picture on page 1?

    Nosecap for Kibler SMR

    Hello all, Since i ordered my kibler smr, and before as well, I've been thinking of what I would potentially like to add to it. This will be my first kit build I will have done, and feel fairly confident about most aspects of getting it together. The one thing I am hesitant about is adding a...

    Walnut SMR finish

    Hello all, I finally put my order in for a 45 cal Kibler SMR in Walnut. I am looking at what sort of finishes you all have done for walnut stocks, and pictures are always appreciated. I plan to stay away from any stains since it seems walnut generally does not need any staining. Part of me...

    PC or HC Pocket Knives

    There really shouldn't be anything that I'd be doing with a pocket knife that'd cause it to shut on me while using it, but I like the added safety.

    What makes a Tennessee mountain rifle?

    I'd like to let you guys know that I appreciate the recent additional posts. I started getting notifications for it and had no clue why, until I realized I was the one who made the thread lol.

    PC or HC Pocket Knives

    Hey guys, I've been having some trouble finding some info on pocket knives in the 18th century. I know they existed, but were they all friction folders, or were there pocket knives that had locking mechanisms too? Im looking at getting a more appropriate pocket knife for the time, but am unsure...

    Flintlock vs Percussion Cap

    Of course! Haha. I just wanted to see what the current trend is on people's favorites to shoot, and so far it seems like flints are the favorite!

    Flintlock vs Percussion Cap

    I actually went out deer hunting for the first time this past season, but am glad i didnt get anything as i took an unmentionable gun out. I was really wanting to take my first deer with my flintlock, and maybe i'll have a chance this year.

    Flintlock vs Percussion Cap

    Haha yeah I did so much reading before i bought the gun to make sure i didnt mess it up when i was shooting, and I still learn something new everytime i shoot.

    Flintlock vs Percussion Cap

    I started off with my 50cal TC hawken, and its a blast to shoot, but i stopped shooting it for several years and when i finally got back to where i wanted to shoot muzzleloaders again cap prices and availability were both bad. Then I decided I wanted a large bore gun and ended up buying my 62...

    Flintlock vs Percussion Cap

    Do you have a favorite? What do you like about them? I personally really like not having to search for caps to shoot my Hawken when I can just go shoot my Jaeger flintlock. Plus the extra poof of smoke next to my face is always entertaining.

    1728 or 1746 French Musket

    Awesome, thanks for the informative post. Is it common to need to do some rehardening for guns from loyalist?

    1728 or 1746 French Musket

    I guess that there would be the potential of the bands coming loose at some point after firing if you didnt push them back. Still, newt looking gun. I dig the "cowhoof" stock

    1728 or 1746 French Musket

    Oh, I forgot to ask, but how do the two rear band on the 1728 stay on? Is it just a friction fit? I noticed it doesnt have the springs like the 1763
