Kibler Colonial Rifle

[Nazgul]

Have it sighted in at 50 yards. 100gr-2F. .570 ball with .018 pillow ticking, mutton tallow/beeswax lube. Put the last 3 into 3" center, 3 more around it. It was getting hot again.

From the news it looks like a good part of North America has been in the frying pan lately.

Nazgul,

Nice job on the Kibler rifle. I finished up my .58 Kibler the other day. Came out really nice and it shoots well. I went with square bottom rifling in my barrel. Word is that the next Kibler kit will be a fowler. I hope he comes out with it in 2022. He is doing a fantastic job on putting these kits together.

I really like what you did there. First rate kit, and you seem to have done it justice. And caliber enough to handle anything you may come across. Good job.

That looks so good I had to see what kits are available from Jim Kibler. What I haven't been able to figure out is what's the purpose of the raised piece of stock where you're going to rest your cheek. That looks like it could be a bit "painful".

who could put a kibler kit together for me?

I have not done it, but there are several good videos both by Jim Kibler and others. From what I have seen his newer rifles do not need a high skill set to assemble. I have been told that someone who is an accomplished builder can put one together in about a day. I am sure this does not include stock and barrel finish work.

All here say mind you and not admissible in court

Very easy if you have any skills at all. There are great videos by Jim himself and many others on YouTube. I would really suggest anyone do it themselves, the rifle will be an accomplishment you can be happy with. It can be finished to any level desired.
