I would like to know the breech width of the barrel. Thanks

The breech is 1.062.

Thanks

Davis makes a multitude of set triggers. Would any of these be an easy retrofit on the Woodsrunner rifle?

You retro fit those triggers to just about any rifle. But I’d guess the reason the new rifle isn’t set up for Set triggers is that maybe rifles of that origin were mostly single

All right, I talked myself into it. Seeing if I can change my colonial order over to the Woodsrunner. Might be a bit longer of a wait but I feel I would regret not getting it.

It’s an easy task on the colonial. Simply fill the trigger plate mortise with another piece of wood and inlet the set trigger. It will be best if the trigger knives are taller, otherwise you are going to have to inlet it perfectly. They barely reach the sear. It can be done. I done done it a time or two.

I liked the SMR but snoozed an same with the colonial. But this
one really floats my boat. This one I got to have.. Oldtravler

Here are a couple pictures of the first stock machined that has turned out decent. Actually it turned out very well. People are going to be astonished with the precision. It's a whole step up from out current SMR and Colonial offerings. We're producing this on a brand new 6 axis machine and it's capabilities are fantastic.

Another aspect I like about this new "Woodsrunner" kit is the historical correctness of it. Though not a copy, it is extremely believable when compared to the originals it's based on.

The first photo shows our Colonial stock for a size comparison. If you have any questions, just ask!

Nifty.

Looks nice and slender!

Looks like it will be another big seller! I just ordered a colonial in .58 cal.. Now I am trying to decide if I should change my order over to the woodsrunner……. I really like the .58 though. Decisions…decisions…

I just received my Colonial in .58 and WOW...it's going to be nice! If I can just not booger it up, that is. I'd say you should avoid the painful decision and buy both.

You're welcome.

Wow! That’s awesome Jim… thanks for the photos!

Until I saw them side by side I had no idea how slim the Woodsrunner is. The Colonial looks like a tank in comparison, or maybe I should say heavy duty.

I would like to but my wife will prolly kill me when she finds out I ordered the one! Although, a few months down the road she will forgive me then maybe a could order the colonial!!!

Amazing that a machine can do that. Of course it had to be set up challenging to say the least, Well done.

Bob Gerard · « **Reply #43 on:** June 02, 2022, 03:08:41 PM »

Seeing them side-by-side is a big help in visualizing the Woodsrunner. It does look much slimmer than the Colonial and looks like it will be a dandy to handle. I think it will look nice on my workbench!
Thanks for your amazing work Jim!

Just a little heads up on the accuracy of a CNC machine. The ones bc we had at the company I worked for were accurate
to + or - two tenths of a thousands. If your not sure what that is. A human hair is about .005 thick.
Their incredible machines.. Oldtravler

Jim Kibler · « **Reply #45 on:** June 02, 2022, 03:31:04 PM »

Come to our open house on June 24th and 25th and you'll be able to see this machine run. It really is amazing to see it operate!

In fact, we'll have as many machines and processes set up and running for everyone to see.

Including the machine that goes 'Ping!'?

Pssh, I just toured FormLogic in pittsburgh which is a SpaceX/Boeing money dump for development in modern manufacturing. They're using multi axis probing functions and forced calculation simulation software to predict flex within fixture elements to adjust toolpaths, and no more touching off cnc tools!

And they hold a 1 micron range (.00004"). Get with the times, old man!

Dave I was giving a general description of what these machines can do. Nothing else. Plus I have been retired for a very long time. So the machines have improved no doubt.
So you can keep your sarcasm to yourself...

DavidC · « **Reply #49 on:** June 03, 2022, 08:30:13 PM »

No offense meant, oldtravelr, and no sarcasm. I'm using cnc to finish something from a manual VTL whose body dates to 1904 and it's been here that long! I'm just excited to share that enthusiasm with someone who can appreciate the work behind it.
