Gun Building and Repair / Re: I did it yet again ...
« Last post by RobD on November 06, 2025, 06:37:50 AM »Yes, I admit to be an addicted Kibler gun-a-holic. If I've got the numbers right this is the dozenth Kibler kit purchased ... and absolutely not the last as I anxiously await his forth coming 1756 1st Long Land Pattern Bess. The agony of the wait hath been soothed a mite with this 16ga fowler.

General Interest / Re: Holy black
« Last post by KDubs on November 05, 2025, 08:21:30 AM »So after using the dabpress which made for pressing ' erb and other flowers to extract the resins I realized that it couldn't handle the pressure needed to puck BP.
Can only handle approximately 1 tablespoon of material at a time.
The bottom flared out like an old pair of Levi's bell bottoms, for those you who remember them.
So I ordered a specific BP pucking die
[ Invalid Attachment ]
Comes with delrin discs to use as the spacers between the pucks.
[ Invalid Attachment ]
Makes awesome 3" x 3/8-1/2 pucks with my 20 ton press
[ Invalid Attachment ]
I can use 5-6 tablespoons of powder at a time now, really speeds things up.
After a day or two for drying I'll grind these and test them and report back.
