    Jim Kibler's Woodsrunner Production Rate

    This has nothing to do with straight CNC machines but I come from a automotive manufacturing background. It's mind boggling but we made a truck every 60-63 seconds or about 1100 units a day. This was 2 different models/sizes with many configurations of each running back to back to back to back.

    Kit v. Factory

    Another trend I am seeing more and more Kiblers being assembled for resale in the classifieds. Supposedly these kits require very little work other than finishing the wood and metal. People getting 800-$1000 for assembly seems to be the going rate over the price of the kit. Interesting to say...

    Percussion Shooting Thru steel??? Is that possible...??

    This is a good tip on shooting safely. Mild steel dimples and distorts with enough energy from bullets. This increases the likelihood of ricochets and bullets bouncing off of it. Shooting AR 500 is a much better way choice when shooting steel targets. AR stays flat and bullets discinigrate when...

    Fiber optic front bead and rear blank for a Lyman GPR

    I have one. With the different inserts it's great for target work. Being hooded it doesn't allow much light in it so hunting early morning or late in the evening you might have trouble seeing the front sight.

    Fiber optic front bead and rear blank for a Lyman GPR

    I would look at midwayusa.com at front sights. Williams, truglo, marbles make various heights and fiber optic as well as white/gold/silver beads. Depending on your peep height it's going to determine the height of the front sight.to get the proper POI for your given range.

    Anyone here own exclusively muzzle loading firearms?

    No I don't not shoot BP exclusively. I just got into black powder guns and do enjoy them. I find it relaxing taking a shot every 2-3 minutes. Lol I come from building long range 22's and CF rifles. I also enjoy and indulge in Class III weapons and will always. They are a huge money pit...
