Title: Picked Up My Dickert
Post by: Denny Ducet on January 01, 2018, 10:31:32 PM
Got on the list about 2 years ago, dropped off the barrel in July.  I named the rifle "Helen" after my grandmother.  The builder sort of prefers to remain anonymous.  Some of you know him.  I will add more when I can calm down and take better photos of her.  :D  Look for it in the coming shoot videos!
Jacob Dickert Rifle: .54 Cal Rice, 42" Southern Classic Barrel, Chambers deluxe lock.   I never expected any silver wire inlay, and when I picked it up there were 3 little places featuring it.  I was speechless.  The patchbox came out beyond any expectations.  The gun is perfect.  Perfect.

*The wall hang was for photo op while I was wiping her down.  Of course I relaxed the Cock and Frizzen to resting position and do not have it hung on full cock.

That's a really nice rifle.

Too bad he wants to remain anonymous, I'd love to have him build one for me.

Beautiful workmanship in all respects!
