.36 cal SMR in Walnut completed

Finished up assembling my Kibler SMR today. Nothing out of the ordinary, only extras were a good internal & external lock polish, a toe plate, a couple of incised lines on the cheek rest, and some dimple adornment on the muzzle. And I also gave the bore a good scrub with JB bore paste, bore shine and green scotchbrite. I little finger tip polish on the crown too. Hopefully the bore scrub will aid in the barrel break in and ease the fouling a little. Standard Kibler front sight and a taller rear sight from Track of the Wolf. No stain on the stock, it was sanded, then 2 coats of BC sealer/filler, then 2 hand rubbed coats of my T&T oil varnish/gum turpentine mix. I used Jax Black on all the metal, just went for a much darker finish that what I’ve done in the past. Here’s some outside and inside photos.

Very, very nice!

You did a great job that is sharp

I don't if you call me drooling or foaming at the mouth.

She's a dandy for sure

nice

Nice finish on that stock. Also like the ramrod treatment.

Thanks @wiscoaster

Very nice, and a big plus for the photo setting, and how looong is the barrel?

Beautiful yet simple. Perfection to my eyes!

You did a great job on this rifle. Very nice

TDM, great job on the build and the photo spread. Love that T&T oil finish.

Very nice, I like that.

I really like the contrast of the dark metal finish and the wood. Are you casting some .350’s this am so you can get her dirty?

Sweet looking rifle! Thanks for sharing
