How to make and install a Bean Style Patchbox in your Kibler Southern Mountain Flintlock Kit

[@nicktrueman224]

Hinge making is quite labour intensive yet very much worth it for the finished look and essentially is made exactly the same way they were through history. Mine were usually used plate armour though but the principle is exactly the same. Nice work!

Hey Ethan, just found this channel I normally follow you over on the NMLRA. Those Kibler SMR kits are awesome and yours is gonna be great with that patchbox. You did a fine job and it's very gratifying knowing you built it from scratch, good job. Can't wait to see it totally finished with the cherry stock.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks so much Dan! I’m a big fan of this kit, it’s super nice, even with my amateur hands. More videos with it coming soon!!

Just finishing my Kibler .36 SMR. Thanks for the fine video on authentic patchbox fabrication and installation.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Glad to help!

This is probably the 5th time I've watched this video. Currently inletting a patch box now

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

I hope it helps Rusty!

@@ILoveMuzzleloading it came out pretty good! To be honest it was the toe plate that gave me issues somehow. I don't know how that happened

[@tannerhinds2321]

Regarding when you spoke about planning. My father gave this to me and ill give it to you! It's the 6 P's of life and work. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Thanks for the great content!

I stumbled across this video I've been debating on not having a patch box til I saw this video this is the same rifle stock I have so this helps alot thank you

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Glad you found it informative!

[@paraplegichistoricalsports5700]

I wish I could participate on a build with yaw. I have the tools and material to make me one for my LGP rifle. Just making sure I watch and read enough information, before I start. Thanks for your work and channel sirs.

[@dennisatkins9837]

Wow! Great job on that patch box. I’m impressed. Beautiful Southern mountain rifle. Being from Tennessee I’m a bit biased 😃

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thank you Dennis. I'm biased as well!

[@randyscott9034]

That’s the kit I’m after when I raise the money I’m thinking at least $1200.00 including the finish and a few more tools I need . Can’t wait !

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

I hope you enjoy!

It would be nice if Jim offered a patch box for this rifle.

[@Everythingblackpowder]

Great video!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks Jake!

I love Kibler's longrifles. I hope someday I'll have my one. :) Now I know what kind of pachbox have to make for it. Thanks!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks for watching!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

It is, but very worth it I think

Hi Ethan, Great video of making the patch box! What material did you guys use to make the Bean Patch box? I'm guessing some type of steel, and what thickness?

[@CaptRons18thcentury]

great tutorial

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks Capt Ron!

[@110665]

Great job!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thank you

[@TurkeyCreek-ek8mj]

Ethan, I'm getting ready to make a patchbox like this and I'm wondering what thickness of your material is. Also curious what the dimensions of your finish patchbox is. You did a nice job on it. Thanks for the video.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

I’ll try to get you some measurements here soon, thanks for asking!

[@scottbeverly188]

I love you videos and have just started the same rifle you have. My question for you, is what type of finish did you use on the cherry stock? I've been testing scrape cherry with tru-oil, permalyn, and lye wash. I like the lye wash the best so far especially when you blush it with a heat gun. zDid you use the Permalyn?

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Hi Scott!! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it. I sanded, whiskered and scraped the stock for a feel I like. Then I used clear danish oil, applied several coats and scraped it back with scotchbrite. It's a really simple finish, but works so well and the stock is aging in nicely now. I considered darkening it with lye, but chose to let it age with time, the figure of my stock was just too nice to cover up. I hope this help! Reach out anytime!

I’m trying to make a patch box for my Kibler SMR . I’m beating myself to death making the hinge . I think your dad bent your hinge and I need a better view of how he bent yours .

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Hi Steve, we heated the end and bent it around with a pair of fine needle nose pliers. It is hard to get it in one go, and you need to do it to both sides of the hinge to get it even across

[@carlhutchison8152]

What is your patchbox full of?

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Walnut wood shavings, keeps any jags or tools from making a bunch of noise while I carry it

[@falloutpropguy]

Dope!
