Finished Woodsrunner

[Greyrider]

This may be a dumb question but does the barrel come in different lengths or just one standard kind?

we do have a shooter that needs a rifle remember

Nicely done, looks great good job on carving and finish

PathfinderNC, very nicely done.

SeaRun1, I have both the SMR in .45 and the Woodsrunner in .54. For a hunting gun I love the Woodsrunner, for a trailwalk gun and paper shooting gun I like the .45 SMR. The reason for this is the set triggers. I am a little more accurate with them. I am working on getting use to the single trigger on the Woodsrunner. I have lightened it up to 1 3/4lbs. and that has helped.

Just another perfect job from the ”Pathfinder Shop", very nice pictures showing you new build. It is a beauty.

Here's a .54 Woodsrunner in Maple that I have been putsing around with for a while and finally decided to finish it up yesterday. As just about everyone knows by now, assembly is a breeze, with really no challenges at all. I enjoyed doing some carving on it, but kept it rather simple and I like how it came out.
What I really like about this rifle is the lightness and slimness of it. The wrist is very comfortable for my hand and the barrel seems thinner and lighter than my Colonial .54 Kibler. The shorter barrel points well and I can aim and focus on the sights quite easily. The lock is really fast and smooth as one would expect from Kibler. It's the same size (6x1") lock as on the Colonial, and on this slimmer rifle it really has a nice, strong and prominent look.
I will be applying some paste wax on the stock in about month after the finish cures.
I think i will enjoy shooting and hunting deer this rifle.
Anyway, here are a few photos.

Great looking piece. You did an amazing job on it.

I really like the simplicity of the carving you did on it. I have a .40 SMR that's shipping to me today (can't wait!)

I've debated whether or not to attempt any carving in the build, and your example is nudging me toward that. Something simple, yet elegant like yours, just to customize it a little. I have some maple scraps I can practice on first...

Beautiful!

Timmit,

I think I am leaning towards the SMR first as I know I will shoot it more. Then after falling in love with it the decision to get the Woodsrunner 54 will be much easier!

Hi Pathfinder,
Very nice job. What process did you use to color it. I do like the red tones that you brought out.

 

[smoothshooter]

I got the SMR 45 and loved it ,but I'm short and sold it . On a short list for the Woods runner 54 and know I'll love it as we are both a little shorter !!!

I am waiting for Kibler to come up with a Lancaster or Woodsrunner with a .40 “A” profile barrel.
But I am 67 years old, so I can’t wait too long.
Hurry up, Jim !!!

Beautiful job on that rifle! Has me rethinking my earlier decision to not build one up myself.

 

[Ballshooter]

Love it!

I bet once you’ve built it and held the gun in your hand, you will be glad you did. It’s light, well balanced, thin and easy to hold. It’s a dandy.
