Wow Curt!  Chuck has outdone himself again!  The best part for me, is that if you hadn't told us it was a Kibler kit, I would have never known. Very nicely done!

Curt,

Beautiful rifle.  As usual, I always like to ask how the wood was stained and finished and how the metal was finished. ?

Thanks

Curt, wish I had more than two thumbs to put up for you.  The ex- once said that sometimes I could be "all thumbs", so maybe ten?

Sincerely like and enjoy the butt/cheek carving.  Simple, graceful, and expertly carved.

Thanks for the pics.

Craig

Good as this one does. May need to get some expert
Advice from curt when it comes time to finish my maple stock.

I too would like to know how the stock and barrel were finished.
That is one sweet looking smoke pole.

I am going to lean heavily upon this as my target for the assembled rifle!!  Of course I don't carve very well, but may add a few of those easier details.

Love it!!

Doc

That’s looks like the high grade Maple stock that Jim offers.
That makes me want the higher grade maple rather than the fancy grade.
That grain is popping out for sure.
