This sounds like a great chance to view, learn, study, educate and may be even show off. Great idea Kibler's!

@!*%... too bad you're 2,000 miles away.

Love to come, it over 3000 miles away for me. :'(

I just assembled a Colonial kit for a fellow today. Took 2 beers, translated 55 minutes. This is just the parts installed and nothing else. All pins drilled and fitted. No patchbox.
Not much of a challenge.

Pffft. 2 beers in 55 minutes?

Lightweight.

Wow! Something to think about. I will still be in the Midwest then. Would really like to meet Jim and see the operation.

Ah man. Same weekend as Fort Loudon Market Faire. Or I would make the drive to check it out.

Yazel.xring · « **Reply #9 on:** April 18, 2022, 01:34:54 AM »

Hoping to make the trip!

We are only 1 hour 15 minutes from the KRA location. Come over and see us!

I’m planning to attend on Friday, on my way to the KRA show! I think it’s perfect timing ! Jim’s impressive kits are the best thing that’s ever happened to the muzzleloading culture, in my opinion!
But, I’ve only been involved in muzzleloading since 1974.

Two kegs of beer in 55 minutes. I want to see that gun!!!

I think it's on youtube

James Rogers · « **Reply #17 on:** April 18, 2022, 04:36:03 PM »

Would love to be able to see the transformation from when I used to come by there years ago to what you have now but it's not doable. Wishing you a successful open house!

Terry Cheek · « **Reply #18 on:** April 18, 2022, 04:49:39 PM »

I love slow-building my SMR kit and would enjoy coming to the open house, but I can't make it work with my schedule. Kibler quality raises the bar for the entire build, especially since this is my first flintlock build and my first period-correct build. Thank you, Jim.

Bob Roller · « **Reply #19 on:** April 18, 2022, 04:52:43 PM »

I would like to see it but I don't want to leave my wife alone for the hours I'd be gone.Anyway,thanks a lot for making a quality group of products available at a price most can afford and I wish you all possible success in the coming times.

I congratulate you on another brilliant idea Jim. Ideas like this is why your kits are superior in every way. Good luck.

Looking forward to it, Jim. Gonna head East on 30. Hope my Service Dog is up to it - she lives for riding, I think. Getting old (like me) however.

This "open house" is a great idea and a chance to see and meet all the wonderful people that produce wonderful muzzle loading kits -

L Meadows · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2022, 06:49:56 AM »

Any chance that a percussion SMR will be on display at the open house event?😉

Ezra · « **Reply #24 on:** April 20, 2022, 07:01:29 PM »

I would love to, truly, but 2,341 miles is quite a drive for a weekend. Although I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun!
