    Kibler - field observations?

    Thank you for the wonderful photos. Though two months shy of my 83rd birthday, I am too crippled by osteoarthritis to ever again visit the back country, those pictures evoke many fond memories.

    Old,Grumpy and Still Kicking!

    Welcome! (I clean my MLs with hot soapy water, much the same as we did with our M-1 rifles during my Regular Army active-duty years, `1959-1962.)

    Removing the barrel on a hooked breech rifle for cleaning, yes or no??

    I always remove hooked-breech barrels for cleaning. Because I equipped all my T/C rifles with tang-mounted peep sights, I replaced the T/C mid-sights with their "primitive" bases, installed a Marble's or Lyman folding sight adjusted to the peep-sight's zero and flipped it up to confirm the zero...

    Did not know of this series. From the glimpse -- for which many thanks -- appears quite well done in terms of ML use. Could someone please summarize it...and perhaps tell me if (and where) it is findable on the Internet?

    The Best Muzzleloading Movies

    Have to pick Master and Commander as my all-time favorite muzzle-loader-era film; think it a cinematic tragedy the miser-minded investors cancelled the intended sequel. Second would be Glory; because I am more than casually acquainted with the Black church from my boyhood and young-adult years...
