Kibler Fowler News - anything???

I think you are correct on the name……. or I have Mr. Kibler working on a super secret new rifle project called the Ridge Runner that nobody else knows about!

Ridge Runner is the name of the soap company I work for.

Want to talk about sponsoring a rifle build? Could be a great cross promotion, especially if your soap would clean blackpowder fouling.

It's funny, in unmentionable cartridge shotguns, 16 gauge is far and away my favorite. Note I don't say modern, my current "go to" side by each was built around 1936.

Yet, I don't own a muzzleloader in this gauge,,,, yet.

My best performing and favorite cartridge shotgun is a 16GA hammer double built by Sauer, probably in the 1930's. Built in the British style with a straight grip and small fore end.

So Kibler is going to add to their production line, 3 new rifle platforms?

Something called a RidgeRunner or a WoodsRunner; then a smoothbore of some type; and then a Hawken or PlainsRifle of some sort.

And this will happen over the next 5 years….

Hi,
It is not "ridge runner" it is "woods runner". Read my post above.

So far from what I’ve read it’s a Roman nosed type of early American long rifle. Is that it?

I followed a link to a thread where the woodsrunner was discussed, but it was full posts of, “Well I think…” and “It might…”, and had images of close ups of a gun, or guns…but nothing definitive. Apparently this gun has a wooden patchbox, so maybe an earlier version of Kibler’s Colonial Rifle?

Then I go find an link to a January 2022 update article to share with you all, and someone posts the same link and says “This right here…”

So pardon my ignorance.

I shared the same link moments after you to share the source of the info you deployed an ampersand against. Whip out the ampersand and I'm gonna give you a link. Apparently moments after you find it for yourself

And?

There were 18 minutes of moments…how bloody long is a moment?

And... you've contributed nothing to this thread.

And I typed it without a link(which you questioned) because most folks don't assume I'm speculating.

 

[Cattywompuss]

At any rate you have confirmed for yourself what you read here is true. Nuff said.

 

[Rock Home Isle]

I guess I bow to your superior intellect

Now what exactly is a WoodsRunner…where does it fit in history?

Nope, just earlier and correct knowledge of the topic under discussion.
