Ooops.  Wrong Pope!
  
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Kibler rifles are very attractive; good choice, Jimmy.

Also, did Kibler build it or did someone else do so from one of Kibler's excellent kits?

A guy on the muzzleloadingforum.com built it. I have too many projects as it is. He did a great job. I'd post more pictures but they would have to be huge to appreciate the rifle. 

Thanks.

I ordered a bullet sizing die from Lee Precision yesterday and they had three options for shipping. One was USPS Ground Advantage (which I never use) and Lee said to allow 30 days for delivery, after they hand it off to USPS. It must go overseas and back. I chose Priority Mail.

That is a lovely flinter!!!

It happens in the mid-west too.  I think it was about a year ago I ordered something, and I can't remember what it was.  First it went to Kansas City, which was to be expected.  Springfield, Mo. is our hub and it went to Springfield.  Ok, should have it the next day.  Now, point of order.  I am about half way between Springfield and St. Louis near Rolla, Mo.  The next day tracking has it in St. Louis.  What the heck, you went right by our PO!!!!!  Then it goes to Chicago where it spent a couple days then back to Kansas City for the weekend and I guess it took in a Chiefs game or went out for some BBQ.  Finally, back to Springfield, Mo. and ultimately to Rolla.  I didn't know my shipping included a tour of Missouri and Illinoise

If I knew this happened regularly I'd stick a USPS shipping label on my butt and travel the USA!

If I did that I would end up in the dead letter file.

"Where ya heading with that moldy ham sandwich, Ralph?"

"Back to that old dude laying in the dead letter file. I wish someone would claim him."
