    Blackfoot Warrior Photo

    I don’t know the date of this photo, but it’s the best one I’ve come across that shows their affinity for Trade Gun dragon side plates. Certainly would be a neat necklace to have.

    Knife, Sheath, and Patch Pouch

    Finally got my forge going a week or so ago and made this blade. 1084 steel, curly maple handle and suede leather sheath. The patch pouch is Salmon leather. Made these for @deerstalkert for a trade we did.

    The Ancient Arms Society

    Stumbled across the youtoo site this evening. Just a bunch of old guys shooting muzzleloaders. Relaxing to watch.

    Bullet Traps & Target Stand

    Finished up building a couple of bullet traps at 25 and 50 yards on my range. After years of slinging lead into the dirt I figured it was about time to try and salvage some. Used dead red cedar on both bases, then dead fall pine logs stacked staggered. Heavy gauge T post tensioned with romex...

    Sharp Shooter Rimfire Reloader

    Has anybody recently ordered anything from them? I ordered from them several times with excellent results but I placed an order 2 weeks ago and I’ve heard nothing except the order confirmation. I believe it’s a one man operation. Just curious if anyone else has had delays.

    Taylor’s & Company

    One of my Sons asked me about Taylor’s reputation. They certainly have a wide range of firearms to choose from. Anybody know about the quality and where the guns are made?

    Advice Needed

    The last 2 times I’ve had my Kibler .45 SMR out shooting I noticed my hand catching a sharp edge around the rear tang bolt. By just glancing at it I didn’t notice anything amiss. But cleaning it up after today’s shooting I see that the tang has sheared at the bolt flange. Will silver solder be...

    The Siege of Fort William Henry Documentary

    There’s quite a few of these documentaries out there, but this one is pretty good. Little over an hour long.

    Priming Powder, 4F or ?

    I’ve always gone along with the general consensus that you can prime with whatever black powder your loading with. It works, and I know many muskets were always loaded that way. But, I’ve always had 4F on hand since I started shooting flintlocks about 8 years ago and always used that to prime...

    Kibler has announced a Hawken Kit in the works.

    Well, I was surprised to read it, but it’s what a lot of folks have been asking for. Jim posted on the ALR forum that he’s looking to buy or borrow an original Hawken for measurements and study in preparation for the new kit. And, he says it will be a half stock percussion. No time line was...

    And yet another Kibler SMR

    Finished this Cherry SMR in .45 cal today. Nothing notable about it except it has my homemade, taller rear sight installed. This rifle will eventually go to my 2nd grandson, but I’ll enjoy using it until he gets older. Now both grandsons will have .45 SMRs.

    Making a taller rear sight for the SMR

    I ordered a couple of taller rear sights from TOW, but they didn’t arrive before I headed back to the camp. I thought why not make one. I have plenty of 1/2” x 1/2” square bar so I’m giving it a try. It’s roughed out now but still a ways to go. As it sits it will certainly be too tall, but...

    Homemade Squirrel Skinning Stand

    I haven’t squirrel hunted in years. One of my excuses was that I lost my old skinning stand that a buddy made for me many years ago. Now the grandkids are older and want to hunt and I have acquired a couple of appropriate BP squirrel weapons I had to build another skinning stand. I keep a fair...

    Completed Pair of Kibler Woodsrunners

    Had planned to take some outside photos of the pair but I don’t see the heat letting up anytime soon. The Cherry is CNC carved by Jim and it’s in .50 caliber. I finished it last week. Today, I finished the assembly of the Maple Woodsrunner that’s in .54 caliber. These are for one of my Sons and...

    Could this be the best Round Ball Patch lube?

    This video just came out today. It’s worth watching. Haven’t tried it yet but I plan to. Interesting, if nothing else.

    Brand New Kibler Video on Relief Carving.

    Just stumbled on this, came out less than 20 minutes ago. Over an hour long. Should be a good one.

    The Unconquered

    This movie may have been mentioned before but it’s new to me. It’s the 1947 Cecile B. DeMille movie starring Gary Cooper set in the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio territories just prior to the French & Indian War. Very well done and beautiful flintlocks!

    Minie’ Ball… or Delvigne-Tamisier-Burton-Benton Ball

    Inexpensive Shooting Bag

    I have the pleasant problem of having a variety of calibers and bores. So I wanted one or more additional shooting bags. While I normally make all my accoutrements, I stumbled across this bag from Crazy Crow Trading on sale for $25.29, and there was no way I could make one for that price. It's...
