Finally built myself a Kibler kit after assembling and finishing them for multiple other individuals. I'm proud to share my completed .58 smooth rifle, very simple rifle with a few added personal touches. I'm not a big fan of ornate carvings or inlays, just a well finished and simple rifle guy. Added the battle of Saratoga quarter to the box, now atleast the rifle gun is worth a quarter... Just a little touch I thought was nice given the date range of the reproduction and that I found the quarter. Also added a thumb notch to the box lid and inlet a brass star into the cheek.
I'm a very big believer in these Kibler kits, however you still absolutely need the same skills to build these as you do other parts kits or you'll just end up with a very expensive box of parts.
Rifle is left bright and polished to a 400grit on all mountings, lock and barrel.
