Pictures of Kibler Woodsrunner Fully Assembled

[Bnewberry]

I’m love seeing the finished pics and it’s making me antsy for mine, but since I ordered in early august I probably got a few more months for mine. But honestly thanks bnewberry for both this thread and assembly, it’s definitely been making my wait easier.

I look forward to seeing your Woodsrunner when you get it!

I still need to polish the lock, and will do this after shooting it.

GOD BLESS YOU

Sorry for the reaction, but I've seen sooo many completed, very well made rifles, where the builder didn't polish the external parts of the lock on the flintlock or the caplock, thinking that simply browning the lock would make it look aged... ..., when in fact the factory finish is not correct as the factory intends for the builder to polish the lock. When they did brown the parts back in history, they polished them first. GLAD your piece will not be one of those repros with this step omitted. Your whole building thread has been very fun for me as a spectator.

The assembly process thread is pretty long so I thought I would start a new thread for the final pictures. I still need to polish the lock, and will do this after shooting it.

This is fancy maple in .54 caliber.

Now that it is all together I can confirm that in .54 caliber this gun is well balanced and points great!

How did you finish the stock?

How did you finish the stock?

The stock was mostly scraped (sanded in a few places) then three applications of aqua fortis-each heat blushed then multiple coats of “tried and True oil and finally a home made beeswaxmix.

Here it is in action.

It is a fast lock. The trigger feels good as well.

Great work @Bnewberry!
