SOLD Kibler .54 (by Pathfinder NC)

[PathfinderNC]

Absolutely love the decorative carving. Perhaps we can do some of this when my time comes.

I hope to be around for a while

I am offering for sale this really sweet .54 caliber, Cherry stocked Kibler Colonial Longrifle. I finished building it a couple weeks ago and we test fired it at the range today (myself and Dave M). I am very happy with how it turned out. This rifle looks beautiful, holds very well and shoots like a real winner!
My asking price is $1900 OBO with free delivery to the lower 48 except where restricted.
Thanks for looking and more photos are available upon request.

Will you knock this stuff off?? I’m trying not to spend a bunch of money on really sweet rifles and you’re really not helpful... every few months, here comes another work of art! Good grief!

I apologize for my obsession but if I stop I think it would be my ruin

We all have our cross to bear. Giving in to temptation is apparently mine...

Perhaps you did not fully understand my comment. When my time comes was meant to me when you build my Tenn. Mtn. Rifle

The rifle is about 8 and a half pounds. I don’t have a good scale to weigh it. The near 44” barrel is Green Mountain 1:70 and is swamped. It’s very accurate as you can see in the target I posted. It’s flat bottom rifling.

I sure hope kibler comes out with a left hand model soon. You and I would be talking.

Same here! I saw a reply to a youtube comment on Kibler's channel where he said he should be coming out with a lefty model within a year or so.

What type of touchhole liner did you use and could you take a picture of it for placement, if you could get an accurate weight and it weighs less than 9 lbs it is sold. Sorry for the bother, you did a very nice build.Thanks

Let's hope Kibler comes out with a Hawken Plains or similar rifle.
