Title: Latest Build
Post by: n stephenson on April 13, 2018, 02:03:39 AM

I recently finished this rifle. I guess it would fall into the" New School " Early rifle category . It has a .62 caliber ,  38 inch Colerain barrel , a modified Davis early Germanic lock and , modified  Davis triggers.  The guard is a Reaves  Gohring   casting. The carving is based on some from a rifle ,I like in Shumway`s  Jeager  book.  The butt plate is one I shaped from a TOTW casting. This rifle is headed to a young man in Texas! It is a gift from a very NICE  uncle!    Thanks for looking. Nate

Nothing not to like on this one....every feature contributes to a new but old looking jäger. To me the carving is expertly done in a Germanic way. You surely did capture the "flavor" of a jäger.......Fred

Nice job Nate, I like that style of rifle and you did a great job on the carving and the engraving. It has a nice old German look.
 **If you have Kindigs book look at #149, that's the rifle I thought about when I first saw this one. Again nice work.

I like your work, Nathan, but think this is my favorite!  Keep mining that vein!  There’s more in there, I’m sure.

Great looking rifle Nate. Definitely an eye catcher and I am sure a good shooter. Your client will love it.
