Iv spent around 6 hours on the rifle today and  only lack the sights and the tip on the ram rod.
Supper great fit on all components.

Just thought I'd share.

Does your kit have both a Kibler/Green Mtn barrel and a Kibler lock?
Looking great so far!

Kibler was 3 months late on my kit so I had to cancel the order.

Glad they’re back on track! Great folks.

Finished my Kibler SMR in walnut a couple of months ago. Truly a beautiful rifle and parts fit perfectly. Worth every penny!!! Thinking of another in fancy maple or maybe their colonial model.

For all steel parts I used brass black full strength and take back with 0000 steel wool,  Looks great!

Brownell's Oxpho-Blue works good for a nice lasting gray, rub back to what you like.
