    Kibler Rear Sight

    Although my flint gun isn't a Kibler, I found that with the changes to my aging eyes, A higher rear sight was helpful. Both the rear and front sight are tall, and I also opened up the slot in the rear sight really wide as having white space on both sides of the front sight when looking through...

    RWS CAPS-1075 PLUS

    I received an email this morning that Muzzle-Loaders.com has both the RWS 1075 and 1075 plus in stock. They require a signature for the hazmat delivery. If you are away and not home to sign for it, you may never get your delivery. I dislike the signature thing. Ohio Rusty ><> Muzzle-Loaders.com

    WANTED 20 Gauge Shotgun Ammo - lead shot, buckshot, round balls, etc

    A 5/8's hole punch will punch out all the right size cards you need for your 20 gauge. If you are having trouble finding shot to try, you can always buy some inexpensive boxes of shotshells in the shot sizes you want to try. Most shells are already 1 ounce weight or 1 1/8th ounce weight so your...

    Skychief question

    I'm kinda anxious to try this Skychief load in my 28 gauge smoothbore. My brother has a bag of #5 shot and I'll get some of that to use for turkey season. I have a 9/16's punch that I punch out wads for my 28 gauge. I also have the fiber cushion wads and cards for my 12 gauge SxS. I'll punch out...

    #11 Percussion Caps

    I just got two 250 tins of #11 RWS plus from powder valley. They were offering free shipping a week ago. These should last me a couple of years. Ohio Rusty ><>

    Skychief question

    I have pretty much stopped using the thick over powder cards and just use the thin cards. The load procedure I do in my 12 gauge double is two thin cards over the powder, a lubed felt wad then another thin shot card over the lubed felt wad. the shot gets poured onto that, then one more thin shot...

    WANTED Tow

    I have a nice big hank of tow I'll sell you !! Good for several years of barrel cleaning. After the tow gets used over and over and gets really black with fouling, keep it dry and use it as tinder for firestarting. How about $12 shipped. (I pay the shipping). I can do paypal. PM me if...

    Gun Value

    I'd ask $1000 on any long rifle and let someone talk you down. There isn't a new rifle today that sells for less that $1000, pedersoli included. Even Ruger old army pistols are now $850 or $900. I remember when you could buy those all day long for $225. Ohio Rusty ><>

    Look what the postal rider brought

    Happy to have them. I hated to pay what I did for them through Powder valley but I did get free shipping if that is any consolation. I did try these RWS 1075 caps on my Crockett and they are still loose. They will stay on if pinched. I do have a new 6mm x 1 #11 spitfire nipple for the rifle...

    Cleaning jag getting stuck

    Notchy Bob said: If a former owner failed to clean it properly, especially if he was using Pyrodex, Why so quick to blame pyrodex ?? Real BP that is not cleaned out of your bore will quickly rust your bore and cause rust and corrosion to form. Hot water in a bore when it dries causess...

    Election time is over!

    I'm always glad when the elections are over. Not just because all the silly TV ads are done, but I get to go out and collect the free signs for target frames. I like the heavy card board signs. Turn them inside out, re-tape them back together and you have an excellent standing target frame ...

    Cleaning jag getting stuck

    Another additional thought about pinning your ramrod tip, make sure the thread you are using for your brush or jag matches the thread in the ramrod tip. An 8/32nd threaded end will thread into a 10/32nd ramrod tip. But it can loosen up and it can come out of the oversize ramrod tip and get stuck...

    Cleaning jag getting stuck

    I quit using jags many years ago. I found that using an undersize bore brush and wrapping that with my cleaning cloth makes a tight enough fit to scrub the fouling out of the barrel and it won't get stuck downbore. Depending on how much cloth you wrap around the brush you can make it tighter or...

    Kibler Fowler

    I fired off an email about Jim's future smoothbore offerings and if I could get that smoothbore gun with a percussion lock. I'm leaning toward the 16 gauge as it is a bit lighter and would make a great hunting gun. I can get a 17mm punch off Amazon for $9.99 so I can make all my wads and cards...

    Kibler Fowler

    We used to have a gun shop here in Logan Ohio like Judges. That was Jerry's gun store. you could get ANYTHING there and he had an affinity for old muzzleloaders. All the nice relics and antiques that lined his walls would make you drool. His prices were below everyone elses. Ohio Rusty ><>
