IN THE WHITE OPTION
This service is available as an add on to a kit gun order. This is $700 for Jim to assemble a kit gun that you purchase.
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 gunbuilder Chuck Edwards for those who would like additional finishing work done on their Kibler Rifle. He can be reached at (573) 568-2075 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.
