    Trade Gun Barrel

    Why do the barrels of trade guns go from octagonal to round? It was my understanding they were designed to be less expensive guns to trade off, but it seems that feature would add to the construction complexity, and therefore increase the price to produce. What am I missing here? -Red, too much...

    You got it ALL wrong, son…

    So, after a week of scouting the forum, reading every post I could about which flintlock kit to purchase, and what caliber I wanted, I settled on the Kibler SMR, in .36 caliber, and then, after much more reading, on barrel browning, and stock finishing, I promptly went on line and ordered a...

I’m located way out in the woods of North Central Florida, have been modern muzzle load hunting for about 20 years, compound and traditional bow hunting longer than that, IDPA pistol competition for at least 12 years, and shooting for as far back as I can...
