Woodsrunner Question?

[Smokey Plainsman]

I can say with a straight face that we offer the best value in traditional muzzleloading. As to the credit for customer wood, this is based on what our wood cost is per blank. Further dealing with customer wood can be problematic and there is a cost to it. As to the carving, it’s certainly an option. If you can do as good a job yourself for less money then that would be an option. Additionally you could have this work hired out. All I can say is that you’ll not likely find the same quality at a lower price point.

One thing people sometimes forget about the Kibler kits is the precision and quality/durability of the parts is heads and shoulders above the competitors. It’s not just a kit for a good price, it’s a kit that boasts excellent architecture and authenticity that can also be accomplished by a novice using the absolute best parts made anywhere.

I’m SUPER excited for my Woodsrunner and Fowler, of which I’ve placed my orders in in the last week.

While the $400 upcharge for the CNC carving did give me pause, I had a lot of beer the night I ordered and figured “you only live once” and chose it. I do certainly enjoy the look of it on the website.

One of those unusual cases (at least it would be for me) when beer improved an outcome.

I have considered the Kibler kits. It's great work he has done for the masses. Patch box is a no go for me, & several other things because i am not a period correct person. I love rock sparkers but i will have to get mine made the way i need it to be. Possibly end up a pipe dream.

Wood carving was the cheapest and easiest part of the entire building process for the period builders.

I suspect they knocked it out without giving it much thought.

Some basic carving was likely considered standard fair on every gun. Adding additional carving or inlays likely was an added upcharge.

My carving skills looks very much like I took a hatchet to the wood.
