    Is the Kibler SMR light and whippy?

    I have 40 cal. TVM that is heavy and for me to shoot off hand is a challenge with a 42" barrel. I have a Kibler 45 with a swamped barrel that shoots better than I can. I am 70 and have had injuries from a wreck that weakened my left shoulder. That's probably tmi but on the bench bagged up they...

    Pedersoli locks bad?

    I built a Woodsrunner no chisel just sand papper an the time was spent waiting on the finish for the stock and barrel to dry. I have a Pedersoli Alamo that is ok. The Kibler changed my mind and is the simplest kit I have ever assembled. I have built Traditions and Lyman. Kibler customer service...

    Bone stock Woodsrunner hunting rifle

    Good definition of a BBQ gun. I have been around many people that own BBQ guns which are fancy, ingraved and ornate gun that are functional art. The guns i have seen are Texas Rangers guns worn to special functions.

    Kibler vs. TVM.

    I have a TVM 40 cal. Mountain rifle thats no problem in fit, finish, and function. My problem with my TVM is my fault not theirs. Very accurate rifle on the bench but I did not get a swamped barrel and physically I can't hold steady with the weight of the barrel. I have 2 Kiblers one a 45 SMR...

    One piece Kentucky long rifles

    I would agree they are nice rifles and I would not be to critical of them if I did not get the Kibler. I just had the resources at the time and I know now I am a little spoiled. So I admit it!

    One piece Kentucky long rifles

    Yes I got it from a gun shop that the owner had discovered the lock would not stay in full ****. Half **** was not to bad but not real secure. I researched the remedy and the lock was purchased from VTI in Connecticut. I wanted to keep the lock plate with the Star and 1836 so i exchanged the...

    One piece Kentucky long rifles

    My experience is with the Alamo Pedersoli and I stripped the finish from the Alamo repaired by replacing the tumbler which was not a good fit for the ****. So I had to shim it for a tight fit. The rifle shot well but was much slower than the Kibler. The Alamo had someone try to lighten the...

    Patch lube, spit or lube?

    I was on my first woods walk and I had prelubed my patch with mink grease. They had been lubed a while. I got 6 shots when to ram a ball home and it stuck about 2/3 of the way down. A friend helped me pull the ball. He then instructed me to keep a patch in my mouth the rest of the walk, about...

    One piece Kentucky long rifles

    I have a Pedersoli Alamo that I started with in flint. I have a Kibler SMR and a Woodsrunner that I shoot now almost exclusively. I will take the Kiblers with the swamped barrels with out question. My experience is limited but the Kiblers are the best kits and fastest locks that I have used. I...
