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.

.45 cal. Loved the gun. Two minor ffaults though. Rear sight dove tail should have been cut deeper and ramrod at 5/16should be thicker. Took two weeks to build and one day to shoot a 20lb Tom. Gonna buy another
I've been really busy lately but did manage to get the SMR together in the white and ready to shoot. I am amazed out how slim and graceful the gun feels in the hand. Assembly was very easy, no problems. The fit is perfect everywhere. Just found time today to take it to the range. I am using a .390 round ball and pillow ticking patch, this makes for a very easy loading combo. No short starter needed. First 6 shots with 40 grains of 3 F made an open group at 25 yards. I upped the charge to 50 grains and shot a couple of 3 shot groups that were almost one ragged hole. I think this will work out to be a great light weight, accurate rifle. Very pleased. Can't wait to see how the extra fancy maple finishes out.
Kit is outstanding worth every penny
I have a bad back so I ordered this as a project that I could do sitting down. I ordered fancy grade wood. I can't imagine how extra fancy could be any better than this. The CNC work was dead on. It required very little work to make things fit perfectly, The only problems that I had were my own fault. I haven't shot it yet, I can hardly wait.
I purchased the Southern Moutain Rifle. The ship time was estimated at 3 weeks to a month, however, I received it in 2 weeks. I was so surprised and happy at this. The kit required minimal inletting and minimal sanding. The lock worked beautifully and quickly. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I highly recommend this product.
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.
