Im sitting here waiting on to be delivered today 2 of them
Kit or finished rifle ?Ordered a Kibler smr in extra fancy maple Thursday. Was told that caliber barrel was in stock and would ship in 2-3 weeks.
Believe me, it is well worth the wait.If it takes longer I’ll hate it but it will get here when it gets here. I’m not going to stress out about it.
Kit. Kibler doesn’t sell completed rifles. You can order “ in the white” and do the finishing work yourselfKit or finished rifle ?
My first flint rifle was a 40 cal Delcur brl from Kit Ravenshear shallow button rifled one in 48" or so cut it to 31" wedded a London stamped old basically N E militia type export affair original.
The rifle more 'After Wm Grice' Uglee but first rifle . it was poor at 100 yards ball (Most UK ranges started at 100 yards ) But with a one & a half dram powder & a patched picket style bullet it shot well out & beyound the 100 yards , .Lost it in Queensland due to Anti gun govt .Might turn up ,Had a serpant and cheek piece added & the proofs where a row of Bear stampings ( My Cutlery mark at that time ) hook breech, three flat keys , Beech two piece stock . Do I want it? Nah just like to know it survived .

I once waited close to 11 months for a TVM .45 L Lancaster; and it was well worth the wait. The Kibler SMR kits are pretty awesome, and one in .45 (#1) or .40 (#2) is on my wish list.
You’d think with CNC it would be easy to make lefties… just turn the machine upside down?“I was going to order a Kibler kit, but sadly he doesnt make left handed ones.”

I live in Queensland since the late 80's and at no time did "the Anti gun govt" State or Federal Ban or restrict Muzzle loading Black powder firearms. As a matter of fact NO STATE in Australia did, and to this day Muzzle loaders arent restricted at all, in fact I've had a Jim Chambers kit imported without any trouble, and know others who've done the same.
Received my smr in 40 cal Sunday. Person i spoke to said they got 51 of 200 45 caliber barrels in on Thursday and were promised the rest would come. The hey are very busy.Just received my tracking numbers today for my Kibler SMR. Very stroked. I asked and .45 barrels still not in yet.
Did you use an importer/gun shop for that or import it yourself?
