In the white

  • This service is available as an add on to a kit gun order.  This is $700 for this service.

    A gun provided "in the white" will be completely assembled and functional.  The wood will need sanded and finished.  The metal will also benefit from some cleanup.  This is typically a little light filing on the rough spots followed by a little polishing with abrasive paper.  The metal can be left in this condition or can be blued, browned, aged etc. 

    Your kit will arrive assembled, ready for you to customize and finish.

Finished rifles

We recommend the work of talented and experienced gunsmith, Chuck Edwards, for those who would like additional finishing work done on their Kibler Rifle.  He can be reached at (573) 421-5098 and his online page is found on Facebook.  He has finished out many Kibler rifles and does fantastic work.  The pricing will vary depending on the work and should be discussed with Chuck.

Jig doesn't work

I'm going to call Jim's shop today. The email address listed in the website that I found via Google doesn't work. My drilling jig doesn't work as shown on the videos. The drill bit provided is too large to fit into the hole of the jig. The jig and the larger drill bit both fit into the holes in the stock. The smaller diameter drill bit doesn't fit in the hole in the jig. I started to drill out the hole be stopped about 1/32 inch in. Later, I tried to blow air through the jig but no air would go through. Also, the smaller drill bit does not have the large portion that fits into the drill chuck as shown on the video. I have not tried the tap, but it appears to be fine.

Great experience!

Had a great time putting together my 58cal colonial while my brother put together his woodsrunner! Looking forward to getting out and trying to harvest a turkey with it this spring. Excited to put together another kibler kit in the future!

Great product!

Every part of the rifle kit was very high quality. The level of fit made it enjoyable to assemble and complete. The process stimulates a connection to the past. The Kibler "Colonial" was patterned after rifles made from my home area and appears to be as accurate of a representation as could possibly be created. I intend to hunt with the rifle. It feels good, holds steady offhand, and has accuracy up to the task.

Colonial Kit

I ordered a kit with fancy wood. It was worth every penny. Shipping was quick and packaging was excellent. . These kits are top shelf in every way, lock, stock and barrel. I wanted to try some carving and wire innlay so I was undecided on spending extra money on a fancy stock, only to screw up the build, but i'm glad I did. Everything fits with little effort so you can concentrate on the fun stuff.
Jim's videos on YouTube are priceless. He has a great way of explaining the entire process. Follow them and you can't screw up.
I added 2 pictures of what I got as a fancy stock. I know that is a big question folks have when placing order. I might have got lucky, not sure.
Overall if there were more stars then five my rating would be that.

Shipping

Liquid Shipping

Liquids will not ship in the kit box. There are different regulations that apply to the chemicals that we sell and they will need to ship ground, when the kits will ship USPS Priority Mail. Plus, it would really stink if a liquid were to leak on your beautiful new kit!

Order tracking

You will receive tracking information when your item ships. For kits, you will be contacted before shipment and after shipment so there is no need to worry about a kit box shipping when you are out of town. All other packages will ship when available and you will be emailed a tracking link.

Get in touch

If you have questions, feel free to email us at info@kiblerslongrifles.com or give us a call at 330-551-5844. Even if you have to leave a message, we promise to get back with you right away. Bree can answer most questions and she will be sure to ask Jim when needed.
