    Kibler lock In Chambers fowler?

    In my limited experience with flintlocks, I have found the cause of all my misfires have been solely mine and not the lock.

    Kibler Fowler Update

    Started putting away some cash for this. My SMR I bought already assembled and finished, so this will be my first "build" in 30 years.

    Bison Powder Horn

    Waiting for the linseed oil to cure before I nail it together. Found some small brass round head nails that will be perfect. Then to make a strap and plug for the spout.

    Ask them how they know those bald eagles consumed the lead in Wisconsin. It was probably in Canada.

    Historical load?

    Made up out of whole cloth. Historic load would be weight of powder equals the diameter of the ball. 50 caliber= 50 grains of powder.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Frying first, then baking at 250° for an hour was how I've cooked snapping turtle. That should work for squirrels. Substitute the instapot for baking and good to go.

    Bison Powder Horn

    The horn is now off the cone. It is not perfectly round, but a lot better. One issue is the cracks running the length of the horn near the big end are a little deeper and more pronounced, so back to sanding. I can make the plug now. I will be shooting for something like this:

    The horn is cooling on the cone. I used old veggie oil. I keep a bottle of it around for projects and for starting charcoal fires. Heated it to 300F and dipped the big end of the horn in it for a minute or so, then jammed it onto the cone. It is cooling now. Once it does, I will be able...

    I finally did something! I turned the cone for forming the horn. The idea is to heat the horn in vegetable oil, then force it onto the cone to make it as round as possible. Then turn the plug. I have some well seasoned walnut for the plug. I'll be going for a beehive shaped plug.

    Penny For Your Thoughts? Pawn Shop Find.

    Is there a signature on the barrel? Considering the shape it is in, it has to be a contemporary build.
