    Kibler vs. TVM.

    I have a Kibler SMR and I have a TVM Southern rifle. I think with the advance in technology that Mr. Kiblers guns for the price are remarkable. This is just my opinion, but with the locks and stocks that are CNC machined you can't get a better fit. I have built a TOTW SMR and I can tell you...

    Is That Seasoning or Fouling On My Patch?

    Learned several years ago that the major manufacturing process of Black Powder they use Graphite in the process, it's hard to clean. Clean the best you can, it won't be spotless and then use Ballistol or some other oil base lube to seal, put it away till the next shoot. p.s. Watched a video...

    .62 smoothbore as an all around gun?

    I have a Jim Chambers .62 cal. Fowler which I had Mark Wheland put together for me. I love the balance and feel of the gun. It also can shoot shot or ball, a good combination. It is my go to flintlock.

    A Couple Interesting Flintlocks

    Beautiful museum and town. So many guns and not enough time. All parts of the museum were fascinating to me. I spent a lot of time looking at the display of Hawken rifles and guns of the cowboy, or Western era. Any American history, and or, firearms fanatic should visit there. I want to go...

    Your first muzzleloader?

    I was about 20 years old when, "Jeremiah Johnson," came out. Fell in love with the movie, mostly about the scenery and lifestyle of wilderness living. Got my first muzzle loader shortly thereafter, a T/C .50 cal. Hawken. Sure wasn't as many fine builders or quality smokepoles out there in...

    40 caliber gobbler

    Very nice bird and rifle, thanks for the story. There's nothing like being in the woods and calling up a tom, if that doesn't give you a thrill every time, you had better give up hunting. On another issue, it's important that all hunters and gun lovers keep the IDIOT'S out of office and away...

    barrel

    Could be relaxing and settling in, or perhaps your barrel likes a tighter fitting patch and ball. Might try just for comparison a .358 ball with a .15 or .10 patch and see if she shoots any different. .350 + .18 = .368 .358 + .10 = .368 .358 + .15 = .373

    Dutch's ebook

    I placed an order yesterday and had Dutch's download a few hours later, if I can do it anyone can. My wife say's I'm computer illiterate, but a pro at ordering online and she's right and I still use a flip phone. Like being on the black side, sometimes the old ways are still good enough...

    I'm Still Shaking! Placed Order for Rifle

    Beautiful Rifle, I am happy for you. Learned early in life that when you work hard for your money and save for something you really want, you appreciate it so much more. I'm sure you will get many years of enjoyment out of it. Please do give us a range report later. Best of luck and...

    50 and 100 yd accuracy

    I want to learn how to shoot like Daniel Day Lewis a.k.a. Hawkeye in, "Last Of The Mohicans," or Mel Gibson in, "The Patriot." I just ordered Dutch Schoultz's system on the recommendations here. I need help too. Aim small, miss small.

    .58 Armi 1861 Springfield

    When I did War Between The States reenacting, I had and still have my .577 Euroarms 53 Enfield repo. Those big minie's are heavy and not going that fast with 60-65 grs. of black 2f., the information that Jim supplied is about right. Big lead ball not going fast drops a bunch. No we didn't use...

    Tennessee Valley

    Amen Col., As a matter of fact, I have a TOTW S.Mtn. rifle kit that I have been working on for about 2 years, so I know what you mean. I'm learning as I go, no big mistakes as yet, but I'm real slow. Friend of mine bought a finished Tenn. rifle off the TOTW website from a custom builder. When...

    Rust prevention...

    Ballistol and black powder go together as a cleaning solution or lube. There are many other lubes and cleaners out there to choose from also great ideas here about sealing under a pinned barrel. I ordered 2 qts. of Ballistol from Midway, it serves me well on my BP guns. As far as stink, my...

    what do i chose and why?

    I have a TVM S.Mountain rifle on order, it should be ready this Fall. I really like the lines on the S.Mtn. and it's a .50 cal. flint. I almost went percussion. Have you checked the Kibler kits, simply beautiful. I have a Bridger Hawken from a TOTW kit, built by Mr. Bergmann of Tenn. IT"S...
