My Gift Arrived

TarponStalker · Aug 19, 2024

Merry Christmas to me! How did I know that I wanted this?
Bree at Kiblers must feel very good when she tells us old kids that our package is ready to ship. I feel like it's Christmas time.
The box was supposed to have arrived on Friday, but was delayed. It did come today, however. I couldn't wait to get home and tear it apart.

what caliber is that woods runner?

Eric Krewson · Aug 20, 2024

If I didn't already have a flintlock or percussion rifle or fowler in almost every caliber (I have 3 in .54, two flints and one percussion), I would be sending Mr. Kibler an order, these kits are spectacular.

I already have the WW in .54, so I'm not jealous

I am jealous of your username, get after 'em!

I have put 2 of them together. It still amazes me how well everything fits. Its easy to bark out "its made on a CNC!". I've spent a lifetime in the CNC world and that alone doesn't guarantee anything. There is some serious work, design and planning involved to make them go together so easily and perfectly.

Enjoy your rifle!

Enjoy. Show us build progress.

Looks like it'll be a dandy, nice.

Hmmmm. I'm now wondering if you work there and did this fantastic packing job?

I'll try. I'll be embarrassed for yall to see my work space. It's a cluttered mess!

.54.

TarponStalker · Aug 20, 2024

I ordered some Tannic Acid powder with it. I've never used it before so I'm a bit nervous about it. I've always used only aquafortis or various dyes.

Nope, just commenting on a job well done :thumb:

The quality of the packing is usually a good indicator of the quality of the product. In this case both are top drawer outstanding.

RobertIN · Aug 20, 2024

Beauty! You better let us tag along vicariously through the build.

Rocketman89408 · Aug 20, 2024

Well I fell off the wagon today also. Built a Xtra fancy maple carved in March as my first flint in .54 and today I ordered #2125 quick ship in .45. May God help us all and thank God for Jim Kibler for people like me.

I did significant damage to my bank acct when I bought the Colonial. As soon as I recover from the shock I'm gonna order the WR.
