Kibler

[woodsnwater]

Got my SMR yesterday. Less than one month from the day I ordered it! I was expecting it to take a few months.
I’ve never seen one in person and have to say it is slimmer, more petite than I thought it would be. I love it.

What caliber is it?

 

[woodsnwater]

40. I intended to get a 32 but was worried about weight. Now that I see the barrel profile it probably would have been fine.

One of our club members just finished a Kibler SMR in .45 calibre. Hit everything I shot at, with it. But the gun was SO LIGHT.

.40 calibre or .36 calibre would be great.

Looking forward to seeing your progress

I chose mine in .36 because Arkansas doesn't allow .40 for squirrel hunting.

Alabama law allows a .40 for deer and squirrels.
The stock is so thin I'm pretty certain I'm going to break it before I'm done building it.

I built smr in .40 caliber last year and it came out beautifully. Just take your time, kibler kits are really great for the beginner.

Congrats! I was going to buy one in 45, but one came up here in the for sale area in 40 already built and I jumped on it. I really like it. I'm sure you will be happy with yours. Take your time and enjoy the build.

Just take your blood pressure pill, relax, go slow, and you'll be fine! I built a Bedford County rifle that was very thin, and it came out OK.

I ordered a .32 SMR in mid-February with cherry stock- hoping it will be shipping real soon!

I like fine grained maple, but cherry is also an excellent choice.

 

[woodsnwater]

If I had a maple gun already I would probly go with a cherry or walnut next.

Why, yes! Yes, I am! You must not have seen it right away. It was up for a week before I decided to go get it. It is a sweet shooter, too. The lock is fast. Little to no recoil. I thank you for taking too much time.

My 32 caliber SMR is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I’m beyond ready and super excited.

When I finally figure out how to upload a photograph I will post a picture of mine.

I would like to try my hand at Walnut but I have never ever worked with Walnut and i have heard that it’s not as forgiving as Maple so I was told .
