    What gun for early 1700's Virginia.

    One of my customers family owned a tabacco plantation from the late 1600's until the early 1700's. After seeing a couple of my flintlocks he asked if I could build him one that could have been used by his family during that time. My question is what might a plantation owner in the early 1700's...

    Removing oil from Walnut

    Several months ago I got my Kibler SMR in fancy Walnut. I did the initial fitting and assembly, along with making and installing a toe plate before standing it up in the corner of my bench until I finished some much needed work on my house. Yesterday I brought it up to my new work room and saw...

    I ordered the 36. caliber in an upgraded walnut stock that was posted on there sight. The photos didn't look that special but I knew it would be nice if they upgraded it and I was not let down.

    Woodsrunner recap

    My son told me I should start a new thread as my last took a detour. I have been working out of town for what seems like an eternity. The few days I have been home each week were more catching up and not relaxing enough to sit down and work on the rifle. I had done the first assembly and stock...

    Primer horn

    I had some time and wanted to make something. I've put the Woodsrunner aside for the moment until I complete an out of town project I'm finishing up. My daughter had given me several small polished horns so I made a primer horn out of the smallest. I reshaped the opening, turned the top and...

Timing couldn't have been much better, Finished the Hawken about a week ago then had a couple of out of town jobs and before I headed home today my son sent me a picture of a box that was on...

    So close yet so far

    I was not in a hurry to obtain black powder as I have been slowly working on our first flintlock. A little more than a week ago after not finding anything locally I put an order in at Grafs. When tracking showed the delivery on Thursday I assembled my T/C Hawken for a test fire before I do the...

    Anybody remember Fred Wolcott

    In the early 80's I was an art student at Sage Junior College and worked with Fred who was the carpenter. I learned a lot from him and heard stories about how good he was with black powder guns. I am sorry I never saw him shoot but I had no doubts about his abilities after the first time i saw...

    T/C Hawken Build

    This will be my first flintlock. Thanks to all of the help from everyone here I decided to get started. First set back was several small cracks in the stock that I found after a close inspection. The good thing is that I have a relatively clean piece of would unlike the oil soaked military...

    T/C Hawken help wanted

    My son wanted to get into flintlock rifles and after researching he pre ordered the Woodsrunner from Kiblers but wanted me to have something to get warmed up on so he picked this up. The wood needs to be taken down as it stands proud of the brass in several areas. this was purchased in the 80's...
