Finally got my Kibler Colonial finished.

My left arm doesn't work between the shoulder and elbow. I wasn't in much hurry as I haven't figured out just how is the best way to shoot it! Plan on getting help from the grand kids to do the shooting.

Nice job! I just brought home a Kibler 54 Colonial kit and I hope mine turns out as nice as yours did !

 

[Are. M.]

Lookin' good, friend. Did you sand or card scrape that phattie? I'm working on mine currently and I'm torn on which way I want to finish it.

 

[Art Caputo]

Very nice!

 

[Boatncamp]

I can only hope that when I try my hand at one of the Kibler Colonial kits it comes out that nice!

 

[Hatman/2nd line]

Looks great, hope mine looks as good, got a .54 smooth rifle on order.

 

[longun]

that's what i'm talkin' about! great job!

 

[tom mesa]

My rifle is a .54 cal round bottom rifleing. I used cabinet scrapers to finish the stock, no sandpaper. The finish is Tru-oil over denatured alcohol with a acid and red dye stain going on first. I for one don't think I can improve on nature when it comes to wood.
