Kibler's Longrifles Open House

[David Rase]

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!

Ez

Ez, 1 just drove 2623 miles one way to attend the TN/MY show, and that distance only got me to Stoner Creek.  It's all priorities.  A man's gotta walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

And return!  Another 2,623 miles!  With elevated fuel prices, not an economy trip.

For me, about 3.5 hours, Kenton, OH to Friendship, IN.  Plus two stops for my Service Dog.  STILL haven't been able to make the trip....

I hear you on fuel prices.  Average was $4.00 a gallon.  I had to leave my truck at home and drive my wife's Honda just for gas mileage.  Diesel was about $1.00 higher a gallon than gas.

When you mention factory seconds and scraps of wood, do you ever have a stock that ends up completely snapped in half or unfit for a factory second? I'd love to buy a study stock for both of your rifles. Thank you.

Yes, we do.  I think we get somewhere around $75 for one of these.  Give us a call and we can fix you up.

Thanks,

Ouch, I think that left a mark Dave!

Awesome! I'll send you a pm to discuss it further.

If I go in our motorhome is there camping on site that we can stay overnight?

[yip]

  Jim is it area wheelchair accessible?

[DavidC]

Maybe I can chew your ear with machining questions without boring everyone. I can't wait to see your setup in person.

We don't have a place for motorhomes on-site, but there is likely some place fairly close you could set-up.

Thanks,
Jim

  Jim is it area wheelchair accessible?

Everything is on one level, but we do have gravel, around our buildings.  There are thresholds on the doors, but I don't think a wheelchair would have too much trouble getting over them.

Thanks,
Jim

Questions will be welcome!

Jim,

Are you going to the Gunmakers Fair in Kempton, PA in July?  I’d sure like to hear more, style and schedule, on your smoothbore project.  Thanks.

You're the best Mike!  You brought a little joy to an otherwise ordinary Thursday morning.

No, we won't be going to any shows this year at all.  We have found that there is a lot of time and cost with shows and there are better ways to sell product. 

I'm working hard on getting the "Woodsrunner" project wrapped up and it's getting there.  Next, more work will be put towards the smoothbore fowling piece.  All the masters and wax molds are done on the smoothbore, but all the stockwork still needs to be taken care of.  It's a ways off...

I would hate to venture a guess as to the development cost for one of our kits.  More than most would ever imagine...

That's what I'm here for.

I would like to visit on Friday and look the factory "seconds" SMR stocks over. If I visit Friday will I miss anything "new" on Saturday?
   Also wondering if you get any SMR stocks with worm holes? I would like to do up an SMR somewhat in the "barn gun" style. Thank you!

[Panzerschwein]

I cannot wait for the woodsrunner. That Roman nose stock is the chef’s kiss. Love it.

Wish I could attend the show but can’t due to an illness in the family. God bless looks like a heap of fun.

Nope, you'll be just fine with a Friday visit.  Nothing new on Saturday planned.  We will likely have some stocks with worm damage.

Thanks!

We've been working really hard on getting it ready.  It's probably 95% there.  Hopefully I'll have some pictures and updates soon.

Thanks,

If you're inviting people to bring flintlocks to for show does that imply a stance on having them for sale? I won't be bringing anything to sell but I'd like to know how light my wallet will be when I'm leaving.
