Southern Mountain Rifle Lock Bolt

This is finally designed and executed piece. Its lines are beautiful. The lock and trigger group are awesome. One of the neat things about the Kibler kits is, you can spend as much time as you want finishing the wood and the metal to make it your own.

To be used with Your Late Ketland lock that I purchased from You a few years back.

Fits Perfect

The bolt is a good product. I like that it is already cut to the proper length. It is something I could have done myself, but nice that it has already been done.

Kibler is a fantastic small business to work with, from the customer care to the professional kits and parts they provide is rewarding to us customers! Great Job Team Kibler!

I'm still working on my SMR. I'm trying to take it easy and avoid any major blunders. The lock bolt worked out fairly easily. I had to open up the hole in the stock a tiny bit but after that all was well. Also, at first I tightened the bolt a little too much which caused the end of the bolt to protrude too far on the lock side. Easily remedied. I'm still a little frustrated in trying to get the lock/pan completely flush with the barrel. My inletting/chisel skills are non-existent but I'll get there eventually. This is a great kit and I'm very happy.

The new one and the new washer are both stronger in looks and feel, If the bolt was just a couple turns longer it would flush up with side of the lock to look more finished. One could, of course, inlet the washer into the stock to pick up those few extra turns. I did not want to chance carving any wood.
