    Help fixing a dumb mistake.

    Did you check first begire doing anything to see if there was a load in the barrel? If you did not then do not try to drill or use a torch. You don’t know if it is loaded. Keep using the Kroil. Let it set over night of course with the krill on it. Then try the next day tapping the muzzle on...

    Kibler side effect?

    I enjoy looking at the Kibler Kits. They look fantastic. Now that I’m retired it’s a larger mountain to climb to afford one. Over the years I have put several muzzleloaders together using components. Mostly Pecatonica and Track of the Wolf. I will say that I am fortunate to have had to fit...

    Advice on getting started crafting.

    You need to just get started. Buy the leather (veg tan). Make yourself some patterns. Start sewing. Oooo. I forgot. You need to do a mountain of research if you want to be good. Anyone can sew leather together and call it a bag. It’s another thing to study, research. Know the stitching...

    Juried Rendezvous

    I have attended juried events before. Most of what I did was at juried events. I was a vender and set up as one. I’ve seen events where eyeglasses had to be correct to the period. I’ve seen others where a great amount of publicity was done about being juried but then very little was looked at...

    Still Hunting

    I’ve hunted using both methods. I like still Hunting. When squirrels come up almost on you. It is funny. Other animals also. I enjoy being on my stand before dawn and being there as the woods wakes up. When I have walked I go very slow. If you can develop some stealth habits they come in...

    Do you gut your deer?

    When I was younger and could get around we always gutted our deer right after the kill. This included removing the glands on the legs. Being careful not to cut into the gland. Then we always liked them to hang for a couple of days if it was cold so they would cool out well. After that we...

    Gun Lost :’(

    I had a pkg coming about a year ago. I followed its progress. Then it arrived in Indianapolis. It set there for a full week. I did receive it. But I found out what happened. They “work” so many packages a day. Then if yours is not in that bunch for today. It sets there until the next day...

    What should I use to polish and smooth tumbler and lock pieces?

    The stones will work. You need to use caution and be very careful to just polish and not remove anything. That anything is potentially any hardening of the internals that has been done. The depth of that hardening is on the surface. Be very careful. If it were me, I’d wear it in. You can...

    PA Cottontails with a Flintlock

    That is awesome. Did you use a dog? Nothing hardly compares fun wise to hunting rabbits with a good dog. Quail hunting maybe with a dog. I loved hunting ducks with my lab. Few can understand the relationship between a Hunter and his dog. Great pictures. Thank you
