Just finished up my first build. A kibler colonial in .54 cal. Had a few trials and tribulations. But got her built. Attached File

One thing I can say is that, I will be building another one. Had a blast. At first I thought it was too much but after reading and watching videos from Kibler. It was a fun project.

Good job! Welcome to the Kibler club, PEPPER45ACP. It's an addiction - make space in your safe for more to come. You've got your deer rifle, now you need a .36 SMR for squirrels. Then a 16 ga Fowler for smaller game and birds.... See? It never ends

PS when you get a chance can you weigh your rifle and report back? Thanks, mechanicuss out.

I just finished mine in .58. I made a few small mistakes but you would never know unless I pointed them out! Attached File

The best part about BP is making your own gear. I’m almost done with my powder horn.
