Title: Jerry "Kirkland" rifle
Post by: don getz on November 30, 2008, 05:28:57 PM

Did anyone look at the "Jerry Kirkland" rifle on the blog site?   Am not sure who posted it, but, like a lot of people, his name is misspelled...his name is "Kirklin".....have know him for a long time.........Don

That looks to be a beautful piece.  I have never seen anything by him that I did not like.  You don't hear his name much but I have always been under the impression that he is one of the best out there - I have heard a lot of compliments on his work coming from well known builders.  There was  apice by him for sale on TOW a few months back that was really nice.

You can see some of Jerry's work in the Contemporary longrifles book by Rob't Weil from the late 70's. That's 30 years ago, so the guy knows what he's doing. A good builder to choose for a close copy of an original.
