Instead of stocks being produced on traditional pantograph type duplicating machines, we are using CNC technology which is unmatched for precision.  Jim makes the stocks in his own workshop and takes care of all the details from  programming the computer to carve the stock to modifying the CNC router to handle the long delicate stocks.

Jim and Kibler's Longrifles have partnered with the best in the industry.  We CNC profile all of our barrels in house so that each and every barrel slips into the CNC carved barrel channel with no gap and little to no fitting.  

These kits are a dream for experienced gun builders to be able to put together a kit where everything just works.  It's also an invitation to new gun builders to build confidence with a project that will let them get their hands dirty without the headache that can accompany a new venture.

​Besides the sleek, historically-accurate design which is typically of all of Jim Kibler's work, the most significant feature of these kits is the method stocks are produced.  These are the only flintlock kits with CNC carved stocks. Precise, repeatable results lead to consistent reliable quality.

• Inlets are clean and precise and in proper location relative to each other.  
• All parts are inlet and require very little fitting.  
• The barrel, with tang attached, comes fit to the stock.  
• All holes (bolt and pin) are drilled.    
• Stock surfaces are extraordinarily refined with little to no extra material.  
• Nicely designed hardware and custom triggers produced specifically for this project.
• Kits come fitted with tremendous care  in custom shipping crate to provide secure shipment.

Assembly

Detailed instructions are included with the kit, but Jim also has a series of videos available for free on YouTube to help guide builders through the process.  
​
Estimated time for assembly and finishing is 5-10 days for someone with little experience.   Those more skilled might complete assemble in as little as 3-5 days.  As customers are assembling their kits, they can add their own customizations to make them unique and add a challenge.  If a customer is so inclined, grease holes can be cut, a patch box could be added, a decorative nose cap could be poured or perhaps a silver name plate could be installed.    We are not able to offer these customizations from our shop, but we have seen a number of amazing projects from customers.

Guided Assembly

at the Gunsmithing Seminar in June...

A course on assembling these kits is being offered at the 2021  Gunsmithing Seminar at WKU in early June.  
​
This course was offered for the first time in 2016 and was a huge success and has sold out every year since.  Some comments from the students include:

"I can't express enough how much I enjoyed my experience at WKU....

"Thank you so much for your wonderful class.  I had a great time.  I learned so much and the week went by so quickly."
