Boy oh boy I’d buy one in a second! I bet he’d sell a TON too, as there is really no other ”˜as good’ options ... historically correct design to boot!R.C.Bingaman said:... I wonder if in the future he will offer a left-hand version.
Thanks Dave ... I totally forgot :redface: about that part of the equation!Dave Person said:Jim will likely consider a lefty but not for a while. One problem is that none of the locks he uses come in left-hand.

I stained the stock with black trans tint dye then lightly sanded it back with 320 grit and applied the aqua fortis. After stain I applied 2 coats of chambers oil, then probably a half a dozen coats of boiled linseed oil.Davemuzz said:I like your finish. What stain and finish did you use?
Dave Person said:None of the other locks by other makers are of sufficient quality and quality control to work with Jim's CNC system. Remember, Kibler's CNC inletting is extremely precise but that also means the metal parts have to be made to a similar standard of precision to consistently fit the stocks.
Dave Person said:He would have to make sure the Silers were assembled with the same precision as the virginia and late Ketland locks (and they are not as far as I can tell).

Dave Person said:Hi RC,
Jim will likely consider a lefty but not for a while. One problem is that none of the locks he uses come in left hand. He chose the Chambers Virginia fowler and late Ketland locks because they are HC for the guns he is producing, are the best quality and performing production locks out there, and Chambers keeps tight quality control on those locks because I believe he has LC Rice doing the assembly work exclusively on those models. Jim Kibler's only choice for a lefty would be a left handed Siler. None of the other locks by other makers are of sufficient quality and quality control to work with Jim's CNC system. Remember, Kibler's CNC inletting is extremely precise but that also means the metal parts have to be made to a similar standard of precision to consistently fit the stocks. To do a lefty, Jim would probably have to design a new gun around the Siler or a lock of his own production. He would have to make sure the Silers were assembled with the same precision as the virginia and late Ketland locks (and they are not as far as I can tell).
