Sooo what’s next Jim??
« on: May 26, 2022, 05:42:10 PM »
Hi guys.. haven’t heard from Jim Kibler lately about the next project to come out. I know he’s close but haven’t seen any new videos or updates lately. Maybe you can chime in Jim.
Thanks

Anthony

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I know it's taken forever, but we're making progress on the "Woodsrunner" rifle.  In fact, I'll probably start testing the stock machining program this afternoon. 

A bit of other good news is that we've just hired a dedicated programmer so the turnaround time for new projects should accelerate.  This has been admittedly a problem for us, but it is understandable given how fast the business has expanded. 

Thanks everybody for your patience!

I'm sure the new rifle will be worth the wait. Looking forward to it.
