Jim Kibler .54 Colonial Rifle Kit

That does look like a lot of fun. What a beautiful curly maple stock!
-
Nice wood, make sure to post some after photo's.

I handled a 32 kit a few years ago at the CLA show. II still want one.
-
Yes sir! That maple stock is absolutely beautiful. Have fun with it.

Somewhere on the web Jim has posted several videos showing how to put one of these together and finish it. Worth a view even if you don't have one of his kits. Looks like a great project that should result in a very nice rifle.

I think that"s one that your going to hang onto for a long time , good luck with it !

My first thought was the same as everyone else, NICE LOOKING PIECE OF WOOD!
Is that a swamped barrel? How long?
..
-
rice barrel company, swamped, 43-1/4" length, standard squared rifling.

Rob ya dun good ! If it shoots as good as it looks I guess I"l be running to the trophy shop a lot . Awesome comes to mind :bigsmyl2:

A very nice looking rifle! I'm guessing that's the 'extra fancy maple' stock.
-
Outstanding! What a beautiful rifle. I'd say it's tooooooo pretty to shoot, but that would be ridiculous. Let us know how she does.
