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.

Kibler Longrifles works hard to deliver a quality product at a reasonable price. Even for experienced gunsmiths Kibler gives minimum assembly time and there more time to devote to carving, inlays, wire work, and finishing. With a Kibler kit there is only minor fitting issues. A little chisel work, a few strokes of a file, and fixing a miniscule ding is all that is needed. Watch Jim's videos and you'll have no aggravation and no elevated blood pressure.
This is my second kibler build after doing a Woods Runner previously. For this Southern Mountain build I was fortunate enough to obtain an above grade extra fancy maple stock and the curl is outstanding. As usual, the Kibler manufacturing of hardware is close to perfection, and the inletting required little if any fine tuning. I have purchased both of my rifles from the quick ship section of the website, and I will purchase my third using this method as well as I feel that I have some choice in the look of stock I want. The pictures provided in the quick ship section give a good indication of what you will be receiving. The operation of kibler rifles is excellent, and the time spent building, finishing and using a Kibler kit brings hours of enjoyment and the end product is something which I will be proud to pass on to my children and their children.
I bought this rifle in curly maple at a discount due to a curvature in the forearm area which was no problem at all in finishing the kit. The figure in the wood is just great, standard grade but wow, I've taken pictures to send along but am having trouble in getting them on the computer, I'll try to send them on the phone.
This is my 4th kit that I've bought from Kibler's and am always pleased, try building from another oufit!
I can’t believe how easy it was to assemble my Southern Mt Rifle. I’ve built several rifles from Track of the Wolf where I had to inlet the lock, trigger, buttplate, almost everything. On your rifle kit everything was done for me. All I had to do was finish the stock and metal parts. My only problem was trying to use iron nitrate stain to finish the stock. I’d never used it before and, although I followed the instructions to the letter, it turned out way too dark. And instead of changing to a reddish brown color after heating it like it was supposed to, it turned to a dark brown walnut color which is not what I wanted. My question now is how do I remove the iron nitrate stain to try to get the color I wanted? I won’t use that stain again. I will use the stain from Track of the Wolf like I always do. I found the iron nitrate too difficult to use and you can’t seem to control how it turns out. Also the wood stock was very rough with deep gouges in it that I could not sand out. Other than that the rifle kit was excellent. But I would appreciate any suggestions on how to sand the iron nitrate stain out so I can start over again.
I don't think it shipped in one day but it was close. The packaging is some of the best I've seen in quite some time. There is obvious care and pride in what KLRs does. First SMR is done, fun to shoot, and won't be my last from KLR.

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.
