Kibler Woodsrunner

I purchased a 50 cal Woodsrunner from Kibler. It has fancy maple stock but was a B-grade discounted due to a stain on the stock and a small crack infront of the lock. The stain pretty much disappeared when I applied the Aquafortis. The crack I filled with Brown CA glue and you have to look pretty close to find it now. I shot the rifle this week and it is going to be a keeper. I put the normal barrel sights on it but my eyes can’t see the rear sight very well anymore, I am thinking it is going to get a lollipop peep soon.

I am a hobby gunsmith by night and teach at a University by day. I love taking old basket case but classic rifles and breathing new life into them. I do have a Ph.D. but it is in feed processing and nutrition and nothing to do with classic rifles but some of my friends call me the gun doctor for bringing these pieces back to life. I especially enjoy some of the old school methods like bone charcoal color casehardening.
