And yet another Kibler SMR

[Togo]

Great job TDM, so your the one keeping Kibler afloat.

She's a beaut for sure.

 

[TDM]

Is it Cherry wood or Cherry color?

Both

Thanks. Somebody else has to carry the torch now.

Thanks. Somebody else has to carry the torch now.

I'm done, I've already bought an SMR and a WR.

 

[Hawk54]

Really like that color.

 

[TDM]

Really like that color.

Thanks.

Oh, I love Cherry. Especially cherries on ice cream and in Whiskey and 7-Ups.

However, the color of the wood there is striking. Almost makes me want to do one, too. But I only have two hands and already have a SMR and now a Woodsrunner. Oh, the thoughts!!!! Must resist!!!!

The Doc is out now.

What a beautiful rifle!

 

[TDM]

Thank you @SOLANCO.

Finished this Cherry SMR in .45 cal today. Nothing notable about it except it has my homemade, taller rear sight installed. This rifle will eventually go to my 2nd grandson, but I’ll enjoy using it until he gets older. Now both grandsons will have .45 SMRs.

Beautiful job, what did you use to stain the stock?

That's a beauty! Well done.

What do you mean “Nothing notable about it”? It’s beautiful! Love the wood and red color! Can I be a grandson— Those grand sons will treasure their rifles the rest of their lives! Good work!

 

[ColonialRifleSmith]

Nicely done. I like the red. Is that Laurel Mountain Forge Cherry? Semper Fi.
PS, Jim must be a wealthy guy just from the member of this forum.

You turned that normally unremarkable cherry into royalty, really pretty!

 

[Flintleather]

That wood is beautiful, nice contrast with the metal.

 

[Coinneach]

That is a stunning piece of cherry! I’ve thought about one in cherry for a while now and this one has convinced me. Nice job all around!

I think a Cherry wood rifle stock is a welcome and pleasant change after all the Curly Maple, not that I dislike good Curly Maple.

 

[DavidRC]

Fantastic job. I will help keep them afloat shortly

Beautiful build and another yes vote for the Cherry. I might do the same for my son, so thanks for the inspiration….
