I came across this photo I took at Friendship back in 1998. He’s the reason I have such a keen interest in southern mountain rifles to this day. The late Myron Carlson my friend. https://ibb.co/jJ6XQo

I sure do remember him, was over at his shop several times. Spent many an hour at F-ship chatting Myron up, learned all sorts of things from him.

How nice to see his picture. Myron was a true gentleman and superb craftsman. He was always a joy to talk with. Thank you for posting it.

I agree with Mike. Myron was a super nice guy to work with. I miss being able to visit him at Friendship.

Thanks for the great photo of Myron. He was best man for Bev and I when we got married 25 years ago in April. Great friend as well as great craftsman. I still have one full set of each of his hardware, and one of his rifles Probably never use them, but they have lots of sentimental value. Would love to have one of his miniature rifles.

I had a southern mountain rifle built a couple years ago with a set of his parts. It's his version of a bean trigger guard, butt plate and set triggers. Neat stuff. Had to have Brad Emig make new spring for the triggers though. Original spring way to strong so you couldn't safely leave on half cock without first setting the trigger. Works nice now. If i get a chance, I'll take some pjc5ures and post. Nice to see what he looked like. Sounds like he was a good chap!

Thanks for posting that image. Myron was a good
friend of mine too.

I met Myron when I was thirteen, in 1971. He helped us get our muzzle loading club, the Dad Joe Smith Club, started. The next year he made me a fullstock .54 Hawken that has been my meat gun for all these years. I am lucky to have two more of his guns, one a copy of what Gemmer would have done with a Remington Rolling Block. He was such a kind and wise man. Thanks for the great picture. It brings back a flood of fond memories.
