Kibler is an Amazing Person, I have nothing but respect for the man.A 5% increase isn't bad. Most places I've seen are more like 25% increase plus an increase in shipping to go with it.

If most of his business is CC purchases and he's intelligent, that added 3% cost has already been factored into the purchase price.When You factor in that Credit card companys are charging Him 3% on the average. Which most of his business is via CC I am sure He is only making a additional 2% increase.
Sounds to me that Jim Kibler is trying to grow the business in a controlled manner at a rate that he is confident he can handle without causing quality to suffer or creating production problems. Seems to be a smart business manager to me.
He has a high quality, but very small operation. It takes time and monetary investment to develop new products. CNC machines aren't cheap! I'm sure he will be able to expand his business as his reputation builds, but he has to compete with the "cheap" modern in-line rifles so many fall for. If more states made it legal to use only weapons such as the Pennsylvania "flintlock only season", he would all ready have a larger sales base.Jim Kibler is a nice man. He needs to get some more variety on the market though. If he does, in fact, add a fowler and a Hawken he’ll sell even more guns. Not so sure this “woodsrunner” rifle is the best choice. Seems awful close to the Colonial he offers now.

I'd really like to know what the dealer markup is on modern unspeakable handguns in general! More secret than the combination to Ft. Knox....Oh I don’t think anyone is blaming him. I’d love to know how many kits he ships out a month. With the cost of supplies, overhead, etc it has to be over 15-20

????????If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
From the quality the firearms I have seen forum members produce from Kibler Kits , I would say you folks are lucky to have a company like Kibler's making such high quality and reasonably priced kits . I find it a pity he won't export .
