I first put on one coat of iron nitrate stain . I just followed Jim’s cedió and it worked great then for my over stain I used an old wood workers who made custom made mirrors out of oak. I don’t like the reddish tints or the darker tints. His secret was to use the preservative used on the old railroad ties and bridge trusses ,Creosote thinned with mineral spirits . You can make it as light color as you wish . Then when the smell of the creosote leaves I used varathane hand rubbed . I can hardly wait to use it on the Kibler Hawkins I will be building.
Jim Kibler is a longrifle builder. He knows what a good lock is. He builds the Ketland, and it is the BEST lock of this type that can be found...anywhere. I would give a reward to anyone who can demonstrate a faster or more reliable lock of this type. I have built 3 longrifles with this lock and trigger assy, 7 Kibler longrifle kits in total. The set trigger is a part of the wholle for my builds. I just hope Jim lives longer than I do so that I can keep building !
With deep respect and gratitude to Jim and his crew.
This is the first time using Danglers. It works and I really like it. I took my time and the results are a nice dark brown that I like. I’m waiting for one more part to arrive and the I will complete my project. Thank you for providing a great product.
This here is some great oil. As oil goes, its very oily. It lubes, it smooths, it coats. As my new pomade of choice, it anoints my head, my cup runneth over. On biscuits, really it's not that great but I was not constipated.
Ted Franklin Belue uses and endorses Kibler lubricating lock gun oil.
Put on a thin coat let dry apply more if any areas have been missed heat to change color.
Take time to watch Kiblers videos for great results
