I would like to recommend Jon Rider of Kinsburyarms as a very good rifle builder. His web site is
www.kingsburyarms.com. I purchased, at a very fair price, a southern mountain rifle built by him from a Kibler kit. Jon did a great job on the kit and the finish on the stock. I then asked him to take off the cheek piece on a smoothbore Tip Curtis flintlock. He did a excellent job on matching the stain and finish on the gun. Check out his web site to see examples of his engravings and stock carvings.
Jon is located in Holliston, Ma.
