Anyone who has built or owns a finished Kibler Rifle Kit lets post a picture in this thread. There are a few in other threads that are hard to find.  This one thread all can post and see and keep them all in one place.

My 2nd Son's Walnut .36












Consignment .36 Walnut















Last one is still on the bench - just started yesterday - .32 Curly Maple...

[Joe S.]

Nice aged finish on that one,very believable, a fine job indeed.

[WKevinD]

.36, nice wood, deadly accurate, sold to someone that had to have it.

[Darthur]

Those are some nice looking rifles.
I plan to try one this year myself. Being just hobby builder this kit looks great for me.

  ... Great job, Nate....I like what you did with the lock side-plate..... TENNESSEE STYLE...!!! ... did you make the bag & horn, too...

[Nate McKenzie]

No. Just the rifle.

[iloco]

Have you guys fired your rifles.   How is the accuracy at 50 yards.
Some nice looking rifles being added to the thread.  Hope more will be added.

Nope, pieced iron and inleted nose piece. At least it did when I found room in the safe. Working on a bag and horn to dedicate to it. Can't wait to get it in the woods.

  ... She now yours, Hunter......Was really coveting her at the Lake Cumberland show.... A FINE rifle.... !!!!!

[TN Longhunter]

This little lady is pure grace in the hands. Working on the right horn for her now.

[iloco]

Mine is a fine shooting rifle! Very light, as it is a .45 caliber. I've shot is at least 50 times now with not a single misfire.

You did a fine job on the finish of your rifle. Looks great.

Cherry stock stained with Easy Off oven cleaner.

Those are really fine looking rifles, they look as light as a fly rod.
Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Light as a fly rod. That is the phrase I was looking for to describe mine. As well balanced as a #4 rod.

[Robert Wolfe]

SR James - Looks great. I like the cherry. Easy Off is also my choice for cherry. Just spray it on and wash it off.

[Molly]

Easy off oven cleaner!  Your kidding?

Where do all these concoctions come from?

[sqrldog]

If my memory is correct the primary.active ingredient in Easy Off is lye (sodium hydroxide) so it's not all that exotic of a concotion and probably something used back in the old days to stain/dye wood in particularly cherry. Believe they routinely made and used lye soap. Tim

[Mike Brooks]

You get lye by soaking wood ash don't you?

to buy 7 of them.Car buying is the problem.
