Hershel House spent his life in Woodbury, Kentucky — building rifles, forging knives, and keeping the crafts of the American frontier alive. The Hershel House Woodbury School Foundation carries that forward, teaching the next generation of builders the same hand skills that defined his life.

Silver mounted fowling piece by John Harman of London. Likely produced in the early 1760's. Notable features include graceful architecture, finely sculpted silver mounts and delicate silver wire inlay. The flintlock includes a roller frizzen as well as a roller on the mainspring tip.
Could not be happier with the new ramrod. It is the finishing touch on my CVA mountain rifle restoration that I originally built in the mid 70’s. The hickory is quite flexible and strong. Experimented with tannic acid and iron nitrate and came up with nice color that complements the stock. Thanks so much!
Finally got around to ordering a Kibler kit, and the Barn Gun did not disappoint. This went together easier and more precisely than any other kit I've built (fast,too- I was done and waiting for the stain to set after a short day's work). The finished gun handles beautifully (and weighs about 6-1/2 lbs) and shoots very well-and has the shortest pan ignition to shot delay of any flinter I've shot. Considering saving up for a Colonial Longrifle next
This was truly a fun build. This was my fourth Kibler kit and the easiest to build. If you are considering your first kit, this should be it. You will learn the basics of putting a kit together and finishing it. I chose the plain hard maple on Jim's advise, and I'm glad I made that choice. This is not a beautiful gun. It is a copy of working rifle for a person of limited means who needs a way to put food on the table and protect his family in a pinch. Realistically, a .45 or .50 caliber would have probably been more appropriate for this weapon in a historical sense, but I wanted a squirrel rifle that I wasn't afraid to knock around the woods with. I think this one will do nicely. I highly recommend it...actually any Kibler kit would be great!
