CLOSED Kibler fowler,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[olskool]

here is a Kibler smooth bore fowler in 20ga. i just finished. this gun is in the correct walnut, aged, it has a total of 7 coats of chambers original oil on the wood. metal is in the white also aged. my buddy mulebrain call it antique white. there is really nothing to point out that is bad, this gun came out great! i completely dissembled the lock for polishing, cleaning and aging. i filed out and sanded all tool marks in the metal and the wood was sanded and prepped smooth, and lot of work went into it. the ramrod has the correct tip Jim sends and it is correctly pinned on. this gun balances beautiful. it weighs shy of 7 1/2 lb. $2150 shipped and insured,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the photos don't do it justice. i think to order one now it is a 6 month wait at least. i like postal MO or Zelle is good.

I can’t recall. Is the 20 gauge recommended over the 16 for round ball? I want one of these but I’ll never shoot shot.

This is the one you want then its a 20 gauge. Kibler recommends it for round balls.

this gun is not heavy! it feels good, and i do not like a heavy gun. my Kibler SMR in 36 is right 7lbs. this rifle balances from the shoulder perfect. it holds great off hand.

John Proud had a finished one at his booth at the gunmaker faire, however the lock and barrel were left in the white. Yours is nicely finished, well done.

thank you for the complement, i wish i could see John's gun. does he have a webpage?

No website that I know of. He's primarily a horn maker. Guns at his table might have been made by another, just on offer by Proud. There were always a few guys ahead of me at his table, so did not talk to him about it.

 

[Josh Sawyer]

I talked with John directly and he did all the work on it. Beautifully done.

Awesome job! I wish he would make the Fowler with a little longer lop. I don’t think it would fit someone who’s 6’3”

LOL, well i would like to thank all you people for your kind words! and encouraging someone such as myself. you really do make a person feel good! and i want to especially thank Mike in FL for those thoughts and opinions! i remember not that long ago when he was having trouble with a Kibler SMR i believe it was, that he was doing and having a bad time, and i was there to help and offer advice that he Glady took from myself and others! really it makes a man feel good to know others in the gun community stick together and help one another! and offer words of encouragement! thank you all so much! you are really wonderful people! and i won't forget it!
