I hear buy a kibler and I want a Jaeger. Is kibler making Jaegers now?

No. Being stuck on a style despite the actual gun being expensive junk makes no sense.

The Kibler Woodsruner is about a fine hunting flintlock as you will find anywhere at any price. It is also a close representation of an actual historical rifle. The assembly methods are historically correct. The quality is flawless.

I have owned a Pedersoli long rifle style thing. It was given to me. I would not have paid money for it. It was not made well. The styling was very wrong. The assembly methods were wrong. The lock did not work well. The breech plug was designed by a lawyer and causes constant misfires. Other than that it was a fine rifle.

I think with the current world economical situation, that the Pedersolis, and quite possible the other European made muzzle loaders are going to sky rocket in price when the next shipment arrives.
This situation might make a chance for a U.S. A. manufacturer to start making them here.
May be Kibler Can expand his line more, say with a Trade Gun, and A Bess type gun.

I’ve handled a few Pedersoli Jaegers, and while probably not a fair comparison, but compared to original Jaegers the Pedersoli feels like a club. If you can find a well built contemporary Jaeger I believe you will be much happier with it than with the Pedersoli. It amazed me how eloquent or dainty for lack of a better description, the originals were with their large bore (58-65 caliber), short swamped barrel (25-30”) and LOP of 13” or less. Unfortunately, many builders today, Pedersoli included, make their ‘Jaegers’ real heavyweights in my opinion. Maybe best description of contemporary so called Jaegers I have handled or seen is an overweight full stock Hawken needing a diet. Extra stock wood. Extra barrel steel.

I own an original late 18th Century plain Jaeger rifle of .63 caliber and I did own a Pedersoli Jaeger. There was a completely different feel to them.
