It's a beauty.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

The wooden patchbox fits right into the design.  Nice creativity.

That is a really beautiful rifle Ed.   I have looked at it three or four times.   In the parlance of the 18th century, it is the very definition of "neat".

Very nice Ed. I wish there was a better picture of the cheek carving. Looks like you held back on the graver. Must have been hard to do.

And one of Ed's gorgeous 20 gauge fowlers is over on the Contemporary Longrifle Association page as well.  The silver wire inlay work is exquisite.  Best wishes,   Marc
