CO building class???

[Birddog1911]

Does anyone know if someone has a building class here in CO? I'd love to attend one. I've got one Kibler on the way, and likely another very soon.

I am not aware of one, but you may find that the class might not be necessary with the Kibler. If you were doing a Chambers, TOW, etc, you might need some assistance, but I don't think there is much more to a Kibler than assembly and finishing. From what I can see, there isn't much additional wood that needs to come off of the Kibler to get it right. Gunsmith of Grenville County and Recreating the Pennsylvania Rifle are two good books that come to mind.

David, appreciate the info. It's more that I'd like to learn to do some light carving. I've got the Gunsmith book already, but figure I'd learn best face to face. The idea of carving a stock with zero experience is pretty scary.

Kind of a old post but Jack Brooks used to give classes. He lives in Englewood CO. Great gunsmith.
