Man I’m wanting one! I want to see the finished product, I’m imagining that it will be as nice to build as the rest of Jim’s products.
I notice that the buttplate, nose cap, triggers and trigger guard is installed, did you order it that way or is that standard?

It came with all of those things in place. Mr. Kibler mentioned in a video that the new machine used for making the stock makes fit better than any of their prior kits.
It's like a partially assembled rifle. You need to remove the mountings to finish it I guess.

It looks like assembly will be fast. I bet I could put it together and shoot it in one day. The stock finish, barrel Finish, trigger guard polishing etc. will take a while. In part as I will work slowly and I want to do some stock embellished.
Very nice, as easy as it is to build you should be shooting it tomorrow
Looking forward to seeing a finished rifle and I know it will be pretty

You did good in ordering the .54. It’ll make for the lightest of weight, yet most potentest, or them all. A fantastic walk about huntsman’s piece for up to and including large game.

My .54 is my favorite, would love to handle one of them as well and feel the balance..Like others, I may just have to order one after deer season...

Congratulations! That is going to be a sweet rifle. I'll be 4 or 5 months before mine shows up.
I hope you take us along as you put this together. I don’t think Im the only one that would be interested in seeing this as its the first one I have seen.

Agreed. I would like to see it as it progresses if the OP is willing to subject himself to ML inspectors. I have one coming in March or April, so some building insight would be appreciated.

Think you can have it put together and finished by tomorrow night so we can see what it looks like?

Is that a 5 on the bottom of the barrel, or just something laying on the barrel? Just wondering if they are going to come with a form of serial #.
