Kibler looks so good. I can see one in my future, but I am getting a TVM this week, so that will keep me busy.
I am always looking in the classifieds for a Kibler southern mountain rifle in 45.

I love my Iron PA TVM, but it’s only my second flintlock, so my opinion does not have too much weight. I can say they were a pleasure to do business with, they are patient, take their time with questions and I plan on ordering another rifle from them in due time.
I don’t want to thread hijack but can you purchase Kibler Rifles fully finished? The Kiblers seem to be getting a lot of positive attention. They look to be high value.

I have assembled and finished four Kiblers. Nothing comes close for the price. As previously stated you would have to pay and top custom maker many thousands to come close. You made a great choice.

Call Katherine and ask. I believe they have a limited production building service. OR, they might give references to a builder.

Do NOT think TVM is your only option.
Hunt around and post want to buy ads. Make friends on the American Longrifle Forum. Most here are into the production guns which are a whoop and a wholler unto themselves but if your wanting something a bit more authentic and with higher pride in ownership a custom is what you want and you can find used ones in good shooting shape in that price range for sure.
You can find a gun with better components and better architecture, and better built, than the frankly pedestrian TVM options. I might be biased I had a horrible experience with TVM over a year back and would not do business with them again but I shant wax on about it lest it raise the ire of their fan club!

Yes, I assume so. As of today, I still don't have it in hand. It takes all the will power I can muster to keep from emailing Katherine to get some idea when I can expect it. Last time I emailed her, she estimated 2-3 weeks. That was five weeks ago.
Maybe I misunderstood her when she said I should have it before Christmas. I just assumed she meant Christmas 2020.

You will get it; just be patient. It will be worth the wait.
