    Kibler side effect?

    Would be cool if they offered a "builder's" option for their guns. Leave plenty of extra wood for the builder to have more flexibility in carving different styles of stocks, cast off, LOP, etc. Maybe even enough room to put a cheek piece on the other side. Keep all the other stuff tight up to...

    Question about Morgan's Shingle

    Your normal pace is a much more accurate method of measuring distance so long as you calibrate it. In school, we used to have to cruise timber, zig zagging through the woods with just a compass and pacing. After a while you get pretty good at it. However, if you try to make each step an even...

    Need advice on collection of 4 unopened 1970s kits I just purchased

    I think you should do a really shoddy job building them, sign them "Mike Brooks," and then post them up for sale here.

    How did American forces reload in battle?

    No disagreement there. I was merely saying that if someone had a rifle, they weren't likely to muster with it because it wouldn't be practical and would risk losing a valuable gun.

    Best place to buy leather?

    I buy most of my stuff from Springfield Leather. If you keep an eye out for their steals and deals, you can find some pretty good stuff at some pretty good prices.

    Someone who tans hides

    I tanned a deer skin hair on years ago with this. I didn't soften it well, but it worked. I used some of it recently in a shooting bag, so it didn't need to be soft. It turned out nicely.

    How did American forces reload in battle?

    If you were mustering for a militia, why would you even bring your expensive rifle? There's a pretty decent chance it gets lost on the field of battle, and it is much slower too reload.

    Fusil

    Most of the early references I've seen in my short search have been southern, so maybe it was a southern thing to refer to a light smoothbore or fowling piece as a fusil or fusee or any other spelling of it? As much as the english hated the french back in the day, they sure had an affinity for...

    Fusil

    " The Corps used several types of firearms throughout the entire Expedition. It’s normally the rifles that get most of the attention, since they were more accurate, more reliable, and used on a daily basis. However, William Clark, Toussaint Charbonneau, and possibly George Drouillard also...
