Finally shot the Kibler

[woodsnwater]

I’ve had this .40 completed for a while now and just took the time to shoot it. It never failed to fire even though the fouling was turning to soup with all the humidity. It patterned well but a little low so I filed the sight and brought it up.
I’ve got a .32 barrel ready to put on and I hope it does as well.

I built it from scraps I got from a house under construction.

I’m so glad you had that in slow motion…that was very smooth and fast ignition.

nice setup, but I worry I would fall asleep while using it - looks too comfortable!
Nice looking rifle too! Did you order an extra barrel to swap them using the same stock?

 

[woodsnwater]

Yes, they had a bent .32 barrel for less than half price and Jim straightened it for me before they shipped it. It fits the stock perfectly, I just have to drill the barrel lugs and it'll be ready to shoot.

Good to know - I have a Colonial kit on order with two barrels - .50 rifled and .58 smoothbore. Was hoping they would drop in once final fitting was completed!
