Title: David Price personal swivel breach rifle
Post by: David Price on March 26, 2017, 02:59:40 AM

I havn't posted any pictures for quite awhile because I couldn't seem to manage my new computer.  Now that Kingsbury arms has
made it easy enough for me I have no excuse.  Thank you Jon Rider.

Last year I was talked into selling my own personal swivel breach rifle, and after I sold It I had second thoughts.  Too late the
rifle was gone, so I built myself a new rifle.  Just thought that I would share the new rifle with all of you at ALR.

Very contemporary.

Post by: Kingsburyarms on March 26, 2017, 05:11:06 PM

Very NICE - Love the Damascus on the lock plate - Silver wire inlay is not bad either - Best part is now you can share the 1000's of images you have very easily...  :)

Title: Re: David Price personal swivel breach rifle
Post by: Joe S. on March 26, 2017, 06:27:33 PM

very nice,I too like the damascus look on your lock plates.Your wood finish is very pleasing to my eye and the whole look flows together nicely.

Thank you for posting this David - what a joy to look at the pictures!

Were the Damascus parts made from steel cable?

Fabulous work David -- are you going to be selling any more kits in the near future? I am winding down making rifles for others and I will be finishing up my 8+ or so rifles for me and family and I think I would like to add one of these to MY list.

Kingsbury Arms
Thank you again for showing me how to post pictures.  I hope it helps someone else also.
I will be more inclined to be more active on the ALR site.  Tomorrow I will post some pictures of Penn.
Fowler that I just finished from a Jim Chambers Kit.

I bought the Damascus steel from a company called Thunder Forge.  I don't know what they used to make it.

P.W. Berkuta
It is breaking my heart that I may not be building any more swivel breach rifle kits.  My kit was really much
more than a kit, and it required a tremendous amount of time on my part.  The only other thing that I may
do is to sell all the parts in a less complete form so that it doesn't take up so much of my time.  If and when
that happens I will post it on ALR.  I have three more kits that I am keeping for myself to finish and they will be for sale when they are finished.

Hi Dave,
I saw your old personal gun and understand why you would be sad letting it go.  This new one is spectacular!  What a fabulous piece of wood.  I really like the red tones as well.  I know you often choose a dark color for the stock but those red tones in this one are gorgeous. Your patch box lid is a masterpiece!

Certainly one of a kind - absolutely breathtakingly beautiflul.

Tks for the note, David.  I'm thinking it looks a lot like some of the better knife blades made from cable on that "forge show".

David, I am disappointed that the trigger guard was not Damascus also.  :o Nah just kidding. That is a great piece of work, as the others have said, a true master craftsman. Great job sir.

Hi David,
First, David, it's good to hear from you.  I hope you and yours are well.  I hope I'll get a chance to see you at Friendship.
As for the rifle, Wow!  It's superb.  I have always liked your carving, and this is no exception.  What a dandy rifle!
