[Austin]

Y’all knocked em out. Mike and Wayne make it look easy!!!

It is a bit funny that you have a photo of what looks to be the youngest guy in the group and he's fiddling around on his phone 

I'm sitting on a stool in front of my bench fiddling on my phone... @!*% it!

Can't wait to see what the kits look like.

[Mike Brooks]

The most incredible class to date. Most had their guns finished and went home Thursday night. Just two guys with a couple assembly details to finish on Friday morning.  I was on the road by 10 AM.
Incredibly, most had their guns completely assembled by the end of the first day and worked on finish the rest of the week. Hard working bunch for sure!

[DavidC]

Mike, can you offer a perspective on the kits themselves for both this class and previous ones? Have you noted changes over time?

The SMR and the Colonial are the same as they always are, No changes that I noticed. We had a couple with very nice wood as usual.

Is there a reason we have not been allowed to see Any photos of the finished rifles up close? The blurry/dark photo from across the room group shot you can not even tell if the rifles are Kibler.

Not really.  The students and instructors are all tired and ready to go home. If you want to see a completed kit the pictures are everywhere. Most all of our students show up with absolutely no gun making experience and leave with a professional quality finished rifle in as few as 3 1/2 days.  Virtually all students had their gun in the white and ready to finish in ONE day. The point that I want to make about these kits  (especially the mountain rifle kit), all of the construction problems have been solved. Actually the mountain rifle kit is designed to higher standards than the original (I own a large number of such pieces). This is not a build (whatever the heck a build is). Completing one of these fine kits does not make you a gunmaker. It is however a good start. No drama required.
 If there are flaws that you discover in the kit perhaps you should go to the source!

Sounds like an absolutely delightful time.

Sounds like an absolutely delightful time.

We literally had to turn the lights off to get the students to stop working. It was 5 O clock down at the Friendship Tavern.

[Keith Zimmerman]

Of course they all turned out great.  Look who the teachers were.  I would expect nothing less.  Congrats on a successful class.

[Jim Kibler]

It's great to hear that everyone had such great success and an apparent good time.  Thanks to Mike, Wayne and all of the students!

Take the class and you can see all of them in person.
