Another successful class
« on: March 10, 2023, 04:58:31 AM »
My March class was small due to a couple of students having to cancel. Skip was my only student this time but we had a great class and was able to complete his project and shoot it this afternoon. His project was a Kibler Woodsrunner and it was a dream to put together and finish. It’s hard for me to believe that Jim can produce such a quality product but he definitely has. Here are a few photos of the completed rifle.

Here's a link to a video of Skip shooting the Woodsrunner. It goes off very quickly and it has a very pleasant trigger right out of the box. Job very well done Jim.

Sorry Daryl, I don't know how to post a regular video on this forum. If there is a way to upload one someone please let me know.

Daryl,
It loads and runs for me and I am not an Instagram member. What type error do you get? You might try clearing your browser memory cache and see if that helps or try a different browser.

Just received my Woosrunner! That’s awesome! Looks great! What finish did you use? I’m going to try a home made concoction on mine. Thanks for posting

The stock was stained with AF with an over coat of Birchwood Casey's Rusty Walnut stain. The finish is a mixture of boiled Linseed oil and Amber Colored Shellac applied very thinly and hand rubbed to a high sheen then lightly rubbed back with 0000 steel wool, then waxed with Johnson's paste wax. The barrel and lock were browned, the trigger, trigger plate and all of the screws were fire blued.

Again I can't say enough about what a great product Jim Kibler has produced here, Skip had never built any kind of rifle or was a wood worker. In 3.5 days we had this rifle assembled, finished and shot which is pretty amazing. Thanks Jim

 Jim, if the video is on your PC I think you can load it just like you would any other Pic.

video came up and worked just fine when I clicked on the link. Congrats! That is a nice looking gun. Also seemed to fire with little or no hesitation!  :D
