My Kibler .54

[trkyman1]

Had a great time with this build. Thanks to Jim,friends,and members on this forum for all the help. The gun shoots great. Target is at 50yrds.

Forgot to mention that is five shots. I really can't see any better.

 

[Bob McBride]

Awesome gun. Jim and Catherine are great people. Good shootin.

Gotta love it when the "flyer" is 1/2" away from the other four.

 

[olskool]

that is great! what powder did you use? how much? was that a 5 shot group?

 

[Critter Getter]

Real nice job finishing that gun! What a keeper! Greg

VERY nice build. Excellent and one of the most appealing stocks I have seen.
And the bonus that it shoots like a lase beam - priceless!

 

[Kozmo]

Outstanding. Great job on the build and wonderful group. I was kind of hoping you'd have a picture of the rifle like a pool cue, making a bank shot on that pool table!

70gr 2f goex powder seems to be the sweet spot. Did not try too many combinations yet because I cannot see or shoot any better than what it’s doing now.

for true! … if it's working well DON'T FOOL WITH IT!

Congratulations on a beautiful project. What a bonus that it looks as nice as it shoots. Maybe you’ll show us that rifle with some antlers in the fall. Dwc

And what ball and patch did you use?

 

[S.Kenton]

that rifle looks as good as it shoots! Hey what lube are you using? Sorry if I missed it

Congrats on a great looking gun ! And some fine shootin’!

 

[Hondo1224]

Nice job sir, a fine piece indeed.

 

[RB POWELL]

Beautiful rifle. Anxious to build mine.

 

[McClura]

That is a fantastic smoke pole. Love the grain of the wood. What lock is that? I really like the way it looks on that rifle. Good shooting.
What brand of barrel did you use?
You have done well, Pilgrim!

Rice barrel. Home cast ball with Walmart pillow ticking patch. Tried three different lubes. Shenandoah valley lube, bore butter, track’s gun cleaner/lube. All shot the same.
