Carved
Kibler’s Longrifles has combined it’s expertise in CNC machining with the company’s background in producing high end custom Longrifles. The result is a rifle with beautifully designed and executed carving available at an unbelievable price point of $375 add-on
Carved in nearly all possible locations, the designs are such that a harmonious and beautiful rifle results. A rifle of this quality was previously only available from a high-end custom builder for a significant price tag, and many years-long wait times, but things have now changed.
Stocks for this kit are being produced on new and highly sophisticated CNC equipment. This will result in a kit that is even easier to assemble as compared to our current offerings.
The kit does not come carved--the photo with the carving is a custom rifle Jim made years ago that was based on the "Woodsrunner" rifle

A gun provided "in the white" will be completely assembled and functional. The wood will need sanded and finished. The metal will also benefit from some cleanup. This is typically a little light filing on the rough spots followed by a little polishing with abrasive paper. The metal can be left in this condition or can be blued, browned, aged etc.
Your kit will arrive assembled, ready for you to customize and finish.
FINISHED RIFLES
We recommend the work of talented and experienced gunsmith, Chuck Edwards, for those who would like additional finishing work done on their Kibler Rifle. He can be reached at (573) 421-5098 and his online page is found on Facebook. He has finished out many Kibler rifles and does fantastic work. The pricing will vary depending on the work and should be discussed with Chuck.

There is one problem with the Woodsrunner. I have a hand built that I bought a few years ago and thought then it was my one and only then I got the Woodsrunner that fits me perfectly. The fit and balance is off the charts. At the range I was working my loads and found it liked 70 grns it's hitting dead center at 50 yards . Thanks Jim for an excellent rifle.
This rifle was fun to build. I ordered the Fancy Maple and it is the most beautiful wood. I watched Jim's videos a bunch of times not to make a mistake. I wish I'd had it carved, but it is impressive looking as it is. The Jack's Black and Brown worked great on the steel and brass. The iron nitrate stain was fun to apply and heat to bring out the color. I used the Kibler's Gunstock Sealer and Finish and that gave it a rich look like Tiger Eye stone when changing positions in tge sunlight. The rifle is shooting pretty good so far, but I've only just basically sighted it in and haven't shot groups yet. Customer service was very good. The lock performance was very good without a misfire. It seems to be faster with about 1/3 of the pan filled with 4FG. 2FG worked good too, but I didn't try it but once.
Had to change the size of ramrod from 3/8 to 9mm. Carving completed, inlay in process. I like the kit would like to purchase another but I don't think that will be possible. Jim and crew make a good product. The young man I purchased this for is beyond excited.
my first kit build was from Pecatonica River Rifleworks, a full stock Hawken.There was a lot of fitting and stock cutting involved. My second build was a Jim Chambers York rifle. More parts fit but still, a lot of stock work with a large square block where your hand would hold the gun. The Kibler Woodsrunner is my third build and by far the best of the best with all parts fitting and the best quality of everything. Kudos to you Jim for your incredible craftsmanship and your skills. You have come a long way from Chambers Shop.
