Check out Ken's rifle on the blog. Another superb build by a master craftsman of southern mountain guns. Way to go, Brother.

Thanks Angus.  That's one of Bookie's last hand forged and rifled barrels.  I was honored to get to use it.
Hooroo,
Ken

That thing must have cost you a shipping crate of Moon Pies in assorted flavors. And I'm surprised you got it slid out past thar bar dogs. I couldn't take more than two steps the other night without losing my fingers after we had been rifling another barrel with hog lard.

Very nicely done Ken.  Clean, precise and to the point.  A beautiful no frills work horse.  I like it.

Very neat rifle, ken! I especially like the finish you got on the barrel- looks right.
