    FOR SALE 1841 Mississippi Rifle .54

    Would really like to see pics of the underside of the barrel/breech, and the inside of the lock. Easy to remove those in a couple of minutes.

    FOR SALE 1865 Enfield for sale

    The British-made Parker Hale muskets have progressive depth rifling, just like the original Enfields. The OP says this one is from the 70s, so it is British-made. It seems in nice condition with a good bore. It's worth every penny of what he is asking. My guess is that the reason this hasn't...

    WANTED Smith carbine sear/trigger spring

    Here is a photo of an original "gull" spring and the replacement "Hood" spring. The Hood spring is made of piano wire and can be adjusted to get the trigger pull where you want it. My original Smith with the gull spring had a trigger pull north of 15lbs. After replacing it with the Hood spring...

    WANTED Smith carbine sear/trigger spring

    An N-SSA member has them made and sells them. Look on their forum for discussion threads on it.

    My Kibler Colonial

    If I hunted with it, I'd take the hickory. But I shoot mostly at the range, and I use a range rod. Never use a wood ramrod there.

    My Kibler Colonial

    Well, I finished my Kibler Colonial 58 cal rifle. Very pleased with how it turned out. Cherry stock. Aged the brass a bit, blued barrel and lock. Finished the stock with several coats of true oil, and will let it darken naturally over time. I'm making a new ramrod out of a Cherry dowell with...

    Round ball for .58 caliber

    I just cast 150 .575 RB from a Lee mold in anticipation of my Colonial being completed and ready to shoot next week. My pin gauge tells me that the 58 cal Green Mountain barrel bore is .581. So .575 seems about right.

    Smith Carbine rat shot cartridge

    FWIW. I stopped using the disc of paper over the flash hole and started covering it outside with 3M Micropore tape. Flash goes right through it every time. Less time consuming for me than loading a disc inside.
