After all that, your build was salvaged and it looks and shoots well. The tang fix worked out just fine. Congrats.
Nice recovery! That tang repair looks good.
no offence, but i have never saw anything quite like that in my life,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Other than the muzzle I think it looks good. I would have tried to hide the tang repair better with darker stain though.
why didn't you just send it back to Jim and let him put another breach plug with a tang on the barrel? it would have been worth it!

Olskool, never seen anything like it? Surely you've seen $495 rifles before.

If it was mine I would be proud of it!!!!!!
I am, thanks, got some positive comments at the range today.
It was made to stand out intentionally by matching the ramrod color.
Ask your wife or your girlfriend which muzzle face she prefers: flat or bevelled.

Well, I have a stock that I don't Want the pre inlet lollipop on so I'm covering the entire inlet with a standard long tang. I don't know how long the Kibler inlet is. Maybe too long to cover with an off the shelf tang.
The Muzzle?? I'm a fan of innovation but I don't see the "why" of that Muzzle treatment???

When I showed your original muzzle beveling picture to my wife her chin dropped and she said “that looks ridiculous”. That should tell you all you need to know about your skills and your Frankenstein SMR. I tried to be nice but your attitude sucks as bad as your building skills,
