[lost arrow 801]

Hello all im in need of a replacement buttplate for my kibler kit. Does anyone know where i could purchase on that will fit? Or come close to fitting as possible. Im a tall guy and dont want to remove too much wood off the buttplate area.

Probably should contact Jim. Your best bet.

You could compare the dimensions, and if it looks close, perhaps give them a call. Ask to make sure the length of the upper part is at least as long as your inlet if you want to keep stock length, and no wider! Angle is harder to judge but these can probably be bent a little.

TrackOfTheWolf catalog may have full-size pics of some options. I have not looked.

There are other buttplate options but not for this kit.  As Mike said it is best just to wait.

That buttplate will not fit, its very close to my Gillespie buttplates and they will not come close to fitting the Kibler SMR. If you are in a rush that buttplate or similiar is fairly easy to make. Get you some mild sheet steel and make one.
**I assume you are talking about the SMR Kit and not the Lancaster**

SMR or the Lancaster (Colonial?)

Why replace it? Is there a work around to the problem?

You'll find that this hobby/sport, sometimes you just gotta wait for the right part.
Chances are, if Jim can't get them, neither can you.
Quick question,  how did you get one of his kits without a buttplate?
