Looks much like the SMR Leonard Meadows made for me back in 1965.Bill Large barrel,my lock and triggers made with Chet Shoults external parts and the stock was cut from a black walnut barn rafter and well over 100 years old.
Butt plate,trigger guard and rod pipes from a wrecked antique.No fore end cap when new.It and my Whitworth long range rifle were
my favorites as well as two very extreme contrasts in muzzle loading rifles
You have done a great job on the Kibler kit and an English half stock flint lock sporting rifle would be another great addition because Jim
has the lock and the know how to pull it off.

Just the architecture Of those rifles is uncommonly beautiful and gives a lift to the soul.  That is one head turning rifle you have finished.  I love the striking beauty of your SMR and I doubt much will ever equal it
