Now I got the itch to break out and run a few rounds through my my front stuffer!

Snow, I got myself a Kibler Woodrunner .54. The last two guns I built were more or less from scratch. I’ve stocked a bunch of guns and for this gun I just wanted to focus on the carving. I also just wanted a Kibler because they are sweet and getting a .54 has me more comfortable for elk season. He has a great layout, the swamped barrel is awesome, and the wood is fancy for sure. Having a father that was a machinist, i can also appreciate his precision and the lock is quick. I’m itching to shoot this thing, but i got to break the news to my uncle that he has some work to do. This is a patchbox he did for my father. By hand… Wow! Some great work in this thread!

PS shooting from a bench. Rest wasn't tall enough. Made a weird angle against my shoulder to get in position to line up the sights.
