Jim Kibler : Open House

Percussion? I'm assuming the Hawken will be offered in a cap lock. Wow it looks pretty good. Thanks a lot for the picyures.

Jim said about upcoming guns that he checks with what people want in designs. A lot of left-handers were there. He said that whatever sells the most would probably come in a left-handed design first. As for a Brown Bess, I think you would have to get the British Army interested in buying it before it came out as a Kibler Kit.

I don't know. There are a LOT of Revvy War reenactors. I don't actually know what his numbers are. Well, if I won the lotto, I'll have him make a run

I think what ever Kibler builds will sell well just because the quality is as good as it gets.

Everyone, thank you for sharing your pictures.

Long ride from middle Georgia but this is something I would love to be able to attend next year.

I almost didn't recognize Jim without the visor!

Man what a GREAT event. Seriously looking at getting on the Woodsrunner bandwagon. This Colonial project has been incredibly enjoyable so far. It just goes together so well. Shaping the stock and wrist now...really amazed at the utility of a set of cabinet scrapers. I'm learning so much from this that one simply does NOT learn with the plastic fantastic suppository guns.

My crew and I went Saturday. Great day for a drive . Met Jim Katherine and Lori . Also there was Ethan of “ I love muzzleloading “ and his father. Had lunch with them discussing the hobby.
Jim offered seconds from his production runs: stocks, barrels , and castings. Most of the issues were hard to find , shows how picky he is on quality.
Picked through his lumber pile for treasures and brought some home.
