Howdy All and my new KingsburyArms rifle
« on: December 31, 2018, 08:42:20 PM »
First of all I want to introduce myself, my name is Frank.
Been a lurker here for some time and wanted to introduce myself and my new rifle built by Jon Rider at Kingsbury Arms.
I wanted to share my new rifle and thank Jon at Kingsbury Arms for the most excellent built rifle.
Rifle is a Jim Kibler SMR in a beautiful curl maple in .40 Caliber.
Jon is a gentleman and an awesome guy to deal with and his craftsmanship is outstanding, as you can see by the pics of the rifle he built.
Thank you Jon for building an awesome rifle which I will treasure always.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Years.
Wasnt sure where to post this, hope its in the right area...

I have the same rifle in 32 caliber. Mine is just about an identical twin to this rifle.  Same finish.
 Mine has a toe plate, SMR patchbox and a nose cap.
Jon Rider is a member on this forum. Do a search for him.
