Mike,
My thoughts as well.  They sure are tempting.  If only I didn't have so many other projects.  I will keep fighting the urge.

That's a very good looking rifle and the sort of build I like.

Great job Bill.  Lovely brown on the barrel, and well finished wood.  They make into a stellar rifle.

Would you mind sharing your finish materials/techniques? I can still stand to learn a thing or two. Or three.

Very nice job. Do you have any tips for the rest of us beginning our Kibler southern mountain rifles. I have been studying the past comments and it is beneficial to learn the pitfalls and remedies before we fall into them. Thanks and your rifle looks fantastic.

Also like your choice of finish on the metal... It all goes very well together..

I don't see how anyone could fault that.  It should be a super companion in the woods or at the range.  I too like the "rubbed back" finish on the metal, and the combination you used on the wood resulted in a very rich, warm look.  Write that formula down for later work.  :-)   Thumb's up.  Best wishes,   Marc
