Thanks BC and Z. I made it years ago but it just had rough wood scales. I put the antler and pewter on it I guess about 8 or 9 years ago.
Right Hawg. It seems they ran out of gas before they had removed every trace of a marking?Shooter. I like it! I guess when it was defarbed they maybe got a little over zealous and didn't care what they removed. Date stamp, etc. wish i had one of those lil' pistols. I really like that guard less trigger. Thanks for sharing.
That's what defarbing is Z. Removing all the Italian markings. I'm wondering why they didn't remove all of the ASM markings since they were so close. That is a neat looking little gun.

How many decades has Ruger been producing dual cylinder Blackhawks? 9mm in a single action is nothing new.
Am I running out to buy one? No, but it might be fun, and that's all the justification many guns need.
I feel that way abut .45 ACP or 10mm in a wheel gun.
Morally wrong but if it floats your boat? I also won't own an AR on principle, stocks should be wooden. But it's become the (like a Wrangler) Barbie for men, in popularity.
I bought an AR but only because the left doesn't want me to have one. My wife liked it so much she had to have one. I sold mine but I still have hers. I do not understand the popularity of them. The .223/5.56 cartridge is about as worthless as they come. They're fun to play with now and then, kinda like a .22 LR on steroids but they serve no practical purpose. People start modding them before they even shoot them. They really are Barbie's for men. I put a scope on mine and not some LVPO or whatever the Hell it's called but a real 3-9x40 scope. My wife's has a red dot but only because she had a hard time with the scope. I better shut up before I really tick somebody off.
Hawg, is this Kibbler your first flintlock? I can't remember. After all is said and done are you pleased with the rifle and outcome overall?
I had one when I was 13. It was a nice looking maple stocked Kentucky in .45 caliber but it didn't spark worth a crap. I didn't know jack about them except for what I saw on TV and probably just needed a new flint. I thought it was a POS and it turned me off of flintlocks for many, many years. I'm very pleased with it. I've been wanting one for a long time but don't like the look of the CVA's/Traditions etc and a Pedersoli was always too much. Now that it's just me my needs are few and I don't eat much and I wanted one really good flintlock before I die.
