- Follow along as student Pat reveals the curly maple grain in his Kibler Longrifles Colonial Kit. This video was taken during the NMLRA Kibler Kit Assembly Class with Mike Brooks and Wayne Estes. During the class, students work for 5 days to build their kits into functional and beautiful longrifles.

What was used for the stock finish besides iron nitrate? I like the darker look. Great video, not much information about what was used and how to apply it.
What did they use? Yellow dye and tru oil? Looks amazing!
How often is there class to teach how to assemble and finish the Kibler rifle kits? Would love to do one! Wish there were classes near me
@@nationalmuzzleloadingrifle8871 Will there be a blacksmith forge available?
Why did you delete my comment about Jim Kibler being a kid diddler?
Why are the butt area and barrel channel never done? Would that help seal there?
The traditional iron nitrate as was used here will quickly corrode the metal parts of the gun.
I believe baking soda will neutralize the acid in it, but they didn't have any 200 years ago.
So they left the stock internals unfinished.
I am just curious when does the praying end.😂
Looks like you burned it. Wasted the grain. I'm sure it's still pretty.
Just wanted to weigh in for anybody thinking the same thing... I just had an opportunity to take one of these classes at the seminar at Western Kentucky University, and I was in class with the student featured in this video- I saw pictures of his finished rifle, and it is GOREGOUS. It did not appear burned at all.
The problem here is that he did not keep the heat gun moving! The heat should be applied with a lot of moving of the gun, in past times a steel bar was used, this gave radiant heat, not a direct blast, so the wood surface was not scorched like this one was.
