"Kibler screwed me",
It's a spoof/satire/humor, there were too many screws in the shipping box

Pratt · Jul 21, 2023

Well DUH on me for being so thick headed, Looks like you go a laugh on old Pratt. Hey at 75 I get a little thick sometimes,

I think there would be a second hand market or even a first hand market for Kiblers crates!
being thicker headed than Brother Pratt above I would need a instructional video as just how to pack things.
Jim, you listening? I am sure you have nothing else going on to keep you busy.

maybe i am behind the times and they are already available.
without a doubt there has been a lot of thought put into Kiblers shipping crates. After having experienced the heartbreak of opening a crate and finding the stock broken in half I would buy one wherever i could get it.

My Woodsrunner kit from Kibler arrived today. Man, are there lots of screws holding the cover on the box. They're more than I want to take out with a screwdriver in my arthritic hands and my battery powered drill is dead. Bummer! I'll put off opening it for a bit. However, I'm really curious to see what's inside. Brie at Kibler's told me they had selected a nice cherry stock for me. I had requested a stock with a bit of figure. I'm going to take assembly of the kit slow and easy so I'm telling myself to not get overly anxious to see what arrived.

I'm looking forward with dread to getting an SMR within the week. I haven't paid for it yet, and I'm so far over budget this month one more gun purchase might lead to violence. My big ceramic piggy bank is full and I know where my hammer is.

Hi KV,
Do you have a brace and bit? Put a screw driver bit in the brace and away you go almost as easy as a power drill.

It’s probably not comparable to anything good, but I’m proud of it for a first real attempt at it

Don't sell yourself short. That was a fine job.

I clicked on it too because I knew it was a joke. Glad I did to see that beautiful rifle.

Yep, I thought the best case scenario was it is a joke. Worse case was a bunch of us piling on to a dude because he went to a forum with a complaint instead of manning up and talking to Kibler about it had there been a real problem. Glad it was option one.

On Friday I received my Fedex shipment of a 2nd hand LH Early Virginia FL rifle made by TVM years ago, and it came in a Jim Kibler Box !!!!
I suppose that's something at least, I have an original Kibler box.

Here it is, an authentic and original J. Kibler (unsigned) ML shipping box in very good condition NOT FOR SALE.
If anyone can verify that the enscribed "Splintered Use Gloves" is J Kiblers handwriting I'd appreciate it, the Box will be highly valued with such a provenance.

Many thanks to Flint62Smoothie for smuggling the J. Kibler Box out of the USA, and for the superb TVM Early Virginia LH FL contained within.

Unfortunately we Aussies remain in a state of severe deprivation when it comes to a genuine J. Kibler Kit, rumour has it that ol Jim didnt take it well when Nicole Kidman didnt reply to his letters years ago, so there wont be any chance of getting a Kibler Kit Down Under.

That’s pretty neat really.

Good to know about the secure packaging! I see what you mean about "being 'screwed'"

I also agree with all of the people that think this is a very poor title and I am not new here - -- enough said.

Agreed. Sarcasm does not translate well in typed messages. If I owned that business, I would not be happy.

My question is, will a Kibler box be considered collectible in 100 years?

Would be a pleasant thought that it would be.

IanH · Jul 22, 2023

They'll be worth something if someone doesn't go sanding away the old "patina" of tape remnants, splinters, dings, natural oxidation, and especially the priceless original adhesive labels.

Renwax, anyone?

Already the case (pun intended) here in Aussie Land.

I hope so. I will leave my two boxes for my grandson

kansas_volunteer · Jul 23, 2023

I now have 4 of the darned boxes and got screwed on every one of them.

Hahah! When I first read the title of your post.. I was like, oh manure! Then chuckled as I read the post. Keep us up to date as to the progress of your kit.. I just ordered a woodsrunner.

I just ordered a Kibler Colonial Longrifle Kit with 'walnut' stock this morning 7/28/2023. My birthday gift to me for Aug. 11, 2023. Brie said it will be sent out in about 2 weeks. Then the fun begins.

Nope, they will be like beanie babies, there will be at least thousands and thousands of them floating around. LOL
