Finally after almost 3 years, I finished my Kibler .45 SMR. I started it then put it aside due to laziness, distractions, etc. I damaged the toe and broke a triggerguard. I put a toe plate on purchased at Dixon’s. Finished metal with antique brass that Jim sold and wood received 2 coats LMF Permalyn gun finish. I like a basic, military walnut stock finish. No pores filled in, no gloss. This is exactly how I like it. Basic, no frills. Pics do not do it justice. I really like this gun! Balance is amazing. Thanks to all for talking me down from the length issue. It’s great as it is. .445 Ball with .012 pillow ticking in olive oil over ~50 grains Swiss 3F. 25 yards shows promise with 3 in a cloverleaf. I have work to do; tighten front sight, improve butt plate fit, finish ramrod but she’s great! Thanks!
