Kibler smr ash

olskool · Wednesday at 3:39 PM

Here is my Kibler Southern mountain rifle in 45 caliber curly Ash. I am keeping this one for myself. The ramrod tip I made from a deer horn of a deer I killed. I zeroed it in yesterday first two shots was in the balls each touching at 52 yards had to file the site. Just a touch to get it perfect the photos are taken on my phone. My computer is down, the picture is do not do it justice. It is absolutely beautiful.

That is crazy looking! Love that hard grain set off from the red tint. We'll done.

Looks great as usual buddy! Mine is currently about 1-1.5" low at 50 yards without touching the sights. I'm a little leery of filing the sight since it's already pretty small, hopefully I don't need to take much off.

No you want need to take much off that front sight just go slow it will be fine.

Not only beautiful and gorgeous, but certainly UNIQUE and I can understand completely making this one your own never to part with. :thumb:

Care to share with us your process for getting the grain figuring and the curl to stand out so independently and magnificently?

Sure, I am up a deer stand now, when I get home I will post that, my computer is in the shop and I am not use to doing this over a phone

Stop messing about with your phone and bag yourself a trophy deer!!

OK, what I done to finish the stock after all the prep work I did two coats of Ferric nitrate then two coats of lye wash then bone black mixed in non-polarized, pure tongue oil to bring out the black stripes. Then after it dried, for a day I put on a coat of laurel mountain Forge American walnut, then five coats of chambers oil.

I like the color much better than aqua fortis.

Beautiful rifle, very striking wood. Thanks for sharing.

Here are the first three shots without any adjustment at all at 52 long paces first to win in the same hall. The third was a little low after that I filed the front site just a bit. I went to the center and I shot about 15 times and just cluster them right up.
