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.

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.

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