Blackpowder tv sighting in
• .36 CALIBER BLACK POWD...
Jim Kibler has been creating flintlock longrifles since 1990. He has combined the precision that comes from his background in metallurgical engineering with a refined sense of design and style to create highly collectible and beautiful flintlock firearms.
His rifles are not only visually appealing, but also fully functional and highly accurate firearms. Jim’s focus has been 18th century American longrifles as well as more elaborate English and Continental pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries.
A collection of photos of Kibler rifles can be found in his online portfolio: jimkibler.net.
That's one fine rifle! Thanks for the quick tutorial on sighting it in, too.
your welcome thanks for watching
Thanks, excellent video. I have a .45 Kibler SMR kit still in the box. I got just before I had a significant shoulder injury last Spring. I'll finally get it together and git it to the range soon.
wow that would be awsome to see. lol now i see why those old guys were such great shots these rifles really shoot!
@@Real11BangBang They do. Mine is in .45 with extra curly maple. I sent Kibler the stock blank. I bought it from off of a blanket vendor at an event 20 years ago. It still had a Dixie Gun Works address label dated 1972. I suspect it was well cured :)
yeah thats a really special gun then. we pre ordered the woods runner in 45. i hope it shoots as good as this one
A flintlock isn’t a bad idea in these days when caps are nowhere to be found. In fact I’ve been shooting mostly my cartridge guns in order to save my caps. That’s the exact opposite of during Covid when I could only find caps and not cartridge ammunition. Great video, thanks for sharing!
you are 100% right there. lol thats why we have been shooting so much flint lock
yesh they are right down the road from us
Nice rifle Garrett! Really enjoyed watching you sight it in.
I've got a Kibler SMR on the workbench along with another rifle I'm building. I will get them finished one of these days and shoot some videos of the first shots.
Keep the great videos coming!
Keep your flint sharp, your priming dry, and stay free!

thankyou so much. i was really hoping you would see this as you are sorta a master builder. i cant wait to see your upcoming videos i know you will love yours as much as we love ours.
One of us ought to do a video about finding and knapping our own flints. At the moment my Harpers Ferry has a piece of relatively raw Idaho jasper that I picked up from a creek bed. Not even actually knapped for the initial 20 +/- shots. Since then I did sharpen it up a bit. But it's still shooting flawlessly after another several shots.
I LOVE flintlock rifles.
we have plans for such a video but we would live to see yours
@@Real11BangBang I dunno how to make a video 🤣
I really love the rifle. Excellent video, thank you.
thankyou. i just got done watching your 209 rifle video. great job on that
@@Real11BangBang thank you.
@@Real11BangBang thank you, I just started doing videos two months ago so I am still learning. Plus I seem to shoot better when the camera is not on me, lol.
lol i here you there
Gotta love that rifle. Small calibers are cheap to shoot and my favorites.
I just love it.
But I like em to shoot a tad high.it extends the range by quite a bit.
i agree after giving it some thought i have decided to take alittle more off of the front sight
Nice video I watched it while I was cleaning my 54 Thompson renegade after putting the sights on it
lol then you are definitely gona enjoy next weeks video
Looks like a fun one. Good shootin' fellas.
Thanks Santee
Also I got your email. things have been kinda busy here lately but I should have some time to crack open the books and see what I can find out for you on the Smith and Wesson side of things (Surplus Schofield's and No. 3 Americans) which were the U.S Military's first centerfire handguns (before Colt ruined it for us) and were sold off as surplus to civilians, foreign governments and to companies like Wells Fargo I just have to find out when exactly.
Signed Ethan
@@Real11BangBang Thanks, Ethan. No hurry. I moved that one to next week!
Great video, the rifle looks awesome.
thankyou. i was just watchingyour 1894 video. that was some good shooting!
@@Real11BangBang thanks, that rifle makes it easy. She is a sweetheart. I appreciate you watching.
I just finished up my SMR in .40 a couple weeks ago. What a pleasure to shoot! Hoping to get out and spend a lot more time on the range once this Virginia humidity gives us a break!
they are hard to beat
Been looking forward To this video. Love kibler such a beautiful rifle.
Last month I got my Kimbler 36 never shot flint before shoots great
Rifle has great lines . I need one
oh yeah they are great guns
I have a Kibler smr in .40 caliber that I built and it is agreat rifle. I appreciate your covering your rifle. Good video.
thankyou
Beautiful rifle.
lol i feel like im part of the kibler club now i just gota find a car mirror
@@Real11BangBang you can do it!
thank you .
You are welcome!
Nice! I'm building a Kibler colonial kit and I can't wait to start shooting it, your SMR came out great!
thank you
Great video, I can’t wait for the full review. I’m still trying to decide if I want the SMR or to wait for the woods runner. But anyway awesome video keep up the great content.
thankyou. we ordered the woodsrunner so it should be here soon
Excellent shooting excellent presentation excellent groups.I really like this rifle.David Back.
thankyou verymuch david
Awesome video. I'm currently debating on whether to get a Kibler SMR in 32 or 36 for squirrels and the occasional turkey (rifles are legal for turkeys in Virginia) That's a beautiful rifle you have there.
we will have a 32 to test this fall hopefully
I have a .32 cal percussion lock and have used it for years on squirrel. I'm saving up now to get a Kibler flinter smr in .32
IMHO, that's the caliber to get.
great sight in video, well done!
Many thanks!
" I'll be needing this for squirrels and such."
yes sir and the rose of Alabama
Awesome rifle my 36 shoots really good kimbler are awesome
they are very hard to beat
I just built a .32 SMR. shoots great
oh yeah these small bore guns are awsome
Do you ever make your own black powder? Beautiful rifle I have never shot a flintlock rifle, mostly have done cap locks right now a .45 CVA mountain rifle. Those Kiblers sure look nice but a little out of my price range.
we have but it didnt work real well. we are going to try it again and try corning it this time
you did not say which way you moved the rear sight
Nice rifle love my kimbler 36 squirrel rifle the more you shoot it the more accurate it is 30 yd shot a quarter inch group instead of spit patch I use bear Grease 30 yards not the center right out good luck on your rifle nice job here
thank you. yes i need to get this out and make another video
You're a South Paw like me!!
yes sir slightly blind in my right eye
Where'd you go to boot camp at? I graduated from 11B OSUT Dec 16 1988 B Co 4-36th ITB Harmony Church Ft Benning GA. Then on to 1-27 Wolfhounds 25th ID (Light). I've been looking at the Kibler SMR but in 45 cal. I have 2 percussion guns, a Dixie Deluxe Cub in 50 cal and an Investarms Hawken in 54 cal.
Have you a build montage of this wonderful gun? Do you think a .45 smr would work on wild hogs?
i do not have one on this gun but i have 2 more on the way i will show building one of those. as for the hogs i think 45 would work just fine with a nice hot load
@@Real11BangBang thanks for the quick response! I've been debating between a pecatonica river northwest trade gun or a kibler smr in 45 for hog hunting here in Florida.
Just wondering what is considered a good 100 yard group with patch and ball in smaller cals under 45
well i think need to look into that
I always thought a starting load should be 1gr of powder per caliber? So a starting load for a .32 would be 32gr
Possibly, but when measuring by volume, the way we do. Sometimes two grains is impossible to tell
Nice rifles but I can't see giving extra 300 dollars for lock especially when it's supposed to be a kit
trust me the lock is one of the main things that sells this kit. it is worth every penny
Yeah but if it's going to be sold as a rifle kit the lock needs to to included in the kit
Привет! Я имею вопрос к Вам. Стрельба из такого оружия может делать пожар в лесу? Выглядит опасно. Спасибо.
50 grain a little to hot a charge for a 36 caliber rifle , I back it off with no more the 40 . 30 grain for target shooting .
yes i was sooting 20 and 30
REQUEST - Referred by DukeFrazier. Could you please measure the width of the P Jr frame where it meets to the back strap? I am currently wanting to fit a birdshead backstrap (well entire grip) to 1862 Police. Full size P frame at .88 inches wide accepts the full sized 51 Navy BS. The 1862 is 7/8 size of full frame as well. I called Cimmeron but the guy was awefully dismissive. Only someone with these items can give reliable information on this subject. Anyways ThankYou!
im sorry i do not currently own a model p jr. however the " i never met a gun i didnt like channel" had one i believe
Is that only one Flint you've used or did you change out flints
no just the one flint. we sharpened it once during the day but this lock is so good it dosent require sharping as much
Yeah I got to get some good flints the one comes with a gun about 30 shots got six of them with a gun got English flints track of wolf they pretty good
yes that is where we get most of ours that we dont knap ourselfs
How did you antique the barrel
i used the instructions blackie used in this video
ua-cam.com/video/jM6nfhJHunU/v-deo.html
That looks like a very handy critter gun. If you can get the speed up you might be able to take a deer with it too.
i think it would be possible however we have a kibbler woods runner in 45 on the way i think that would be more up to the task.
@@Real11BangBang looking forward to the a Woods Runner videos. Looks like a great rifle.
Everytime I see the delay between ignition and discharge of these long flintlock guns, I always laugh thinking of the Bugs Bunny cartoon Hillbilly Hare making fun of that in this scene: ua-cam.com/video/nXOlXfEizBw/v-deo.html
lol
Shoot that there peiania man- can’t hear a dang thing. 😎
