    NAA percussion fun *update with Remington #11 caps!

    This is a fun gun. The last time I shot it using CCI #10 caps it worked, but not well. This outing, using Remington #11 I had no failures. I wish I had about 5 cylinders and someone willing to load the for me as I could shoot this all afternoon. I guess I still could, but more than half of the...

    NAA percussion pistol, the full cap and ball experience in a small package!

    I have shot a lot of percussion pistols, I owned 6 at one time and used all 6 to shoot a “Josey Wales” category at an all black powder Cowboy shoot a few times. This video is my time shooting this little gun. From a few caps not firing with the first strike to a cap jam and the grin on my...

    SOLD Now with lock! Petaconica Northwest Trade Gun “kit”

    Petaconica doesn’t really make kits. This is a collection of parts from Petaconica River for making a Northwest Trade Gun. Still in the box they shipped it in. No work has been done to this. I got excited about trade guns and fowlers and had given up on Kibler producing one. I got busier than...

    Kalamazoo Living History Exposition

    I went to the Kalamazoo Living History Exposition this weekend. I didn’t think to take pictures. In truth I was overwhelmed at the size of it all. I picked up some clothing, leather to make knife sheath, a lock and various sundries. I sat in on Than Yazel’s (I Love Muzzleloading)...

    Michigan Small Game Hunting in State Forests?

    I am hoping to do a couple of days of squirrel hunting this year. Looks like the so called “State Game Areas do not permit squirrel hunting. How about the state forests? The National forests seem to permit this. Thanks in advance!

    Pictures of Kibler Woodsrunner Fully Assembled

    The assembly process thread is pretty long so I thought I would start a new thread for the final pictures. I still need to polish the lock, and will do this after shooting it. This is fancy maple in .54 caliber. Now that it is all together I can confirm that in .54 caliber this gun is well...

    Kibler Woodsrunner Assembly Progress

    I am in the early stages of assembling my Woodsrunner. I am no expert so this is no guide, just me sharing my experiences building this kit. My kit was evidently one of the first 25 kits to be shipped. Jim Kibler posted that he did a partial assembly on the first 25 as a quality check. This...

    Swiss ffg, my new favorite!

    I have had good results with Goex ffg, but got more tar build up than I think I should in a .40 caliber flintlock. Tried some Swiss ffg today and liked the results. Started with a 30 grain (by volume) charge, 3 different ball types and 2 different patch lube ratios. Almost 60 shots. Very...

    Cutting a barrel - send it to someone with a lathe or use a hacksaw?

    For those without lathe, do you cut a barrel off yourself or send it out? If you send it out, where do you send it?

    Rear sights on Pre 1800 Flintlock pistol?

    I am embarking on a flintlock pistol build. Octagon to round barrel, small Queen Anne lock. I am not copying a particular gun, and do not have plans. In my head I am trying for something that wouldn’t be out of place for a pre 1800 American pistol. The pictures and descriptions I can find show...

    Birchbark, deer antler and a little brass for the handle.

    I had some scraps of 1084 and 15n20 leftover from some knives I made so I got it in my head to make a small neck knife. Used it to open a deer I got.

    New from southern Michigan

    While I am not new to black powder, I am new to traditional muzzleloaders. I shot a lot of black powder doing cowboy action shooting but life events made it tougher to participate in that. Now that the kids are mostly out of the house I was looking for a reason to shoot more and got a wild...
