    Simple stock moldings on a SMR

    I’ve got a 36 cal Kibler Southern Mountain Rifle heading my way soon, and I’ve got a question. I know these rifles were traditionally very plain and unadorned. Most of the examples I’ve seen have only a simple two groove cheekpiece moulding, and some don’t even have that. My question is...

    Kibler 58 Colonial or (future) Fowler?

    I’m looking for some feedback on a decision. In the near future I’m going to buy a Kibler smoothbore flintlock kit for use as turkey gun (with perhaps the occasional squirrel or rabbit hunt thrown in). After seeing the results some folks are getting with the smoothbore 58 Colonial, I had pretty...

    Problem with Kibler Woodsrunner trigger / lock

    I’m doing the final assembly on my Woodsrunner today, and in the last stage there seems to be a fly in the ointment. I put the lock in place and it will not cock. I notice also that there is pressure between the trigger and the sear when the cock is fully forward, which I suspect is related to...

    Max Brown on my Kibler

    I’ve got a couple questions about using the Jax Brown product Kibler sells on the barrel and steel parts for my Woodsrunner. I’ve watched Jim’s video on putting patina on steel parts and I’ve followed his directions as best I could. The results haven’t been great so far. The first...

    Polishing fine details on brass hardware

    What’s the best method for polishing the really fine details on brass fittings, like the tiny wedding bands on the ends of ramrod pipes? I picked up a set of the small detail sanders, and they work great for areas like the flats on the thimbles, but even these fine tools seem too big for these...

    Progress on my Kibler Woodsrunner

    My Woodsrunner arrived last month, and I’ve been working on it as time allows. It’s a .54 with a fancy maple stock. So far, it’s been virtually problem free, aside from a little trouble getting the patch box lid properly fitted. The wood to metal fit on all the parts is amazingly close—better...

    First black powder gobbler

    I’ve killed a lot of turkeys in the last 40 years, but I had never taken one with a muzzleloader until this morning. I’ve been patterning my 12 gauge T/C New Englander in preparation for this spring’s Michigan turkey season. It’s a fixed improved cylinder model and I did a lot of load testing...

    SOLD T /C Seneca Barrel

    Selling a .45 cal barrel for a Thompson Center Seneca percussion rifle. This is from an early rifle, and is not marked as a Seneca. The exterior is in nice clean condition, but the bore is terrible. I have not tried to salvage it, and if you’re looking for a project, go ahead and try, but my...

    Great book: Hunting Expeditions of Oliver Hazard Perry

    I’m reading a book that I think a lot of folks here would enjoy: “Hunting Expeditions of Oliver Hazard Perry.” Note: this is not the O.H. Perry who was the naval hero of the war of 1812. The author was born in 1817 and his family were early settlers in the Cleveland Ohio region. Perry came...

    TC New Englander: Fixed Choke vs. Tubes?

    Looking for opinions from those of you who’ve owned and shot the 12 gauge T/C New Englander. Do you prefer the fixed choke version or the version with choke tubes? I’m hoping to buy one, primarily for spring turkey hunting, but it may also see duty for rabbits in the winter. Most of my turkey...

    New UPS Regs

    A month or so back, UPS seems to have tightened up their policy on shipping firearms and firearms parts. You can go to their company website to see the new policy, but in a nutshell, they seem to now be requiring an FFL to both ship and receive a firearm (instead of their old policy of just...
