Hello

Just finished my first build of a Kibler Colonial Rifle and anxious to do my next build and learn from this forum.

Wilkommen, Herr Oberst!

 

[Oberst]

Thank you all. Here is my recently completed first build. Mistakes were made but I am learning. Still have to brown the lock plate.

Welcome to the forum. I think many were left in the White, so browning isn't required. It's an oft discussed topic.

The browning of the barrel came out reasonably well and I want it to look old so am really delaying as I have never taken a lock down to its parts and have been getting all the tools and researching as much as possible. Here is the barrel just before I oiled it but after it got its baking soda bath to stop the process:

Another "welcome" from NOVA.

Rifle looks good. I have a Kibler CR on order ... how long did it take you to get yours?

Respectfully,

Hello, neighbor! Took me a little over 2 months but I would work on it for a bit, then leave it to ponder it when I hit some challenges

Didn't phrase the question properly, I guess. How long did it take to receive the kit after you ordered it? Thanks!

Respectfully,

Ahh! I lucked out, maybe 2 weeks. I guess they happened to have ready what I ordered.
