having read a lot of posts on kibler kits i thought i would try one. i ordered it on march 23 and received it on march 27- that was pretty good service. katherine took my order and what a joy she was to talk to. upon receiving it i dry fit all the parts. i am amazed how close the inletting is. there will be very minimal trimming to make the parts fit. the brass castings are very good and the lock is phenominal. so any beginning builder that wants a quality rifle take a look at these. also to jim kibler--job well done!! thanks---fred
