Got the little .32 assembled yesterday with very little fuss, none expected. Stocked in a relatively plain cherry with nice grain structure. I'm aware that Kibler is now manufacturing their own locks in house and this little Ketland lock is amazing. The later Ketlands are very fast locks in general but woah! This little bugger is on steroids. Just a phenomenal lock that is so precise, absolutely no tuning necessary.
Dropped in a toe plate, which given the petite nature of these rifles I feel it's much needed to protect the toe and heel of the stock. Now working cherry is much like walnut, your tools better be hair popping sharp or chipping will be inevitable.
Also did some simple incised work on the cheek, nothing to run home about but just compliments the simple well built mountain rifles. More to come!
