Although it resembles a Kibler Woodsrunner, this is actually a custom rifle crafted by Bruce Hamlin of Florida. It weighs approximately 7-3/4 lbs and features a 38” swamped barrel (.45 cal) with round bottom rifling. The bore is in excellent condition, and the Siler lock sparks reliably. The overall length is 53-1/2”. LOP is approximately 14”. The rifle includes an adjustable rear sight that is adjustable for both windage and elevation, but is currently fitted with a primitive T/C sight. This is a practical set-up for someone who wants to do some target shooting or hunting but would also like to engage in the occasional Rendezvous or club shoot that prohibit adjustable sights. If you prefer a period-style rear sight, there is a dovetail beneath for easy restoration.

The rifle has some minor bumps and bruises typical of a used piece but is in overall great condition and will undoubtedly give its new owner many years of enjoyment. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or additional photo requests.

I’ve loved this rifle in the short period I’ve owned it, and it’s proven itself to be exceedingly accurate (I took second place at the last local club shoot, and I’m no crackshot); I’m only selling to offset the cost of the recent purchase of a .36 cal. rifle. I’m asking $1,500 $1,450 shipped for this fine firearm, which I feel is more than fair when you consider a new build from Bruce is in excess of $3,000. I accept money order, bank check, and most forms of electronic payment.

Rifle will ship in a wooden Kibler crate.
