Many posts mention the Kibler kits and I have watched some of his videos. I see Tip Curtis advertises in Muzzle Blasts magazine and wondering was how his kits are. I know he builds nice guns. Anybody have information on Tip's kits? Thanks.
 
The main difference between Kibler’s kits and others is that Kibler’s kits are closer to finished and require much less inletting and shaping. So far as Tip Curtiss kits are concerned I hear they are like many others where a good deal of finish inletting and shaping are needed. A lot should depend on what style of gun you’re looking for.

To the moderator - thought after I posted this - maybe this should be in the gun builders section. What do you think?

The Flintlock, Percussion, Smoothbore and Handgun sections are primarily for talking about shooting the guns.
That said, there are a lot of times when a subject like this one is posted and I know that a lot of people might be interested in it. I also know there are a lot of our members who don't visit the Gun Builder's Bench area because they aren't in the habit of actually building guns so they figure there would be nothing there that would interest them.

What this all boils down to is, I usually leave topics like this one in the shooting areas so people who might be interested can read them.

If the discussion gets too technical, I might move it to the Gun Builder's Bench but that's not likely based on what has happened in the past with topics like this one.
 
Kit or built? Hard decision. Shop around, might be surprised what you can find built for manageable difference of kit.
 
Tip also offers his rifles "in the white" which means that they are put together and the stock and barrel are left unfinished and left up to the owner to finish as they want to. Greg :)
