  • Product is Kibler's Longrifles Southern Mountain Rifle Kit
    Wood is Extra Fancy Maple
    Wood Stain is Kibler's Longrifles Iron Nitrate
    Finish is Laurel Mountain Forge Permalyn Sealer
    Metal Treatment is Historic Houseparts Brass Tarnishing Solution
    We did a video this way because sometimes it's nice to just watch someone work and not have to listen to them talk and talk and Jim gets tired of his own voice sometimes. We hope that it will feel like you can sit down on the couch with a cup of coffee and spend a little time to watch a Kibler Kit get put together. We don't touch every single step, but we get most of them and hope you will forgive that it's not perfect for instruction. Our goal for this was enjoyment rather than instruction.
    This project was filmed in 2019 and got set aside because we got busy and it was easy to put a memory card in a drawer and forget about it. It was a beautiful setting at the Shawshank Museum in Upper Sandusky Ohio, where Katherine is from. Her dad was an extra in the movie courtroom scene when it was filmed in 1994 as Tim Robbins' lawyer. The woodshop/museum made a beautiful backdrop for this project that we thought our viewers might like to see. You will notice the cardboard cutouts of some of the characters sprinkled in the background!
    Thank you for reading our little story and watching the video!

      I, too, was laughing at the use of the tee shirt!
      I would love, one of these days, to see how his CNC machines so finally carve those stocks in such detail. After making so very many rifles by hand, I was well aware of the steps to inlet the various parts and pieces - then I got my Woodsrunner kit and was amazed at how accurately Jim's machines did the same job I had done - in a whole lot less time.

    Gorgeous! I made a Hawken replica (.54 caliber) from a Uberti kit about 40 years ago. Not nearly as pretty as this flintlock, it's percussion ignition, and has fine, but straight-grained, Walnut. The figure on the Maple in this one is beautiful, and watching the video took me back to the painstaking work involved in building my own.

    I know this is two years ago but you probably won't even read it.

I would love to be able to afford one of those guns even if I put it together myself but it's all I can do to hold up my Hawken Flintlock. No matter how much I work out and try to build my muscles up to hold it, it just doesn't work. I guess the older you get the harder it is to build your muscles back up.

    I loved it! Really. however, if You like this you should LOVE the videos put out by Purdy and Holland & Holland... Well worth watching...the advanced art of complete hand making of shotguns. I have a Mossberg pump.
