He builds a good gun for any money, he ought to be charging 2X what he gets.

Hi Nessmuck,
For New England try Ed Parry (www.blackhartlongarms.com), our own Eric von Aschwege (www.vonaschwegeflintlocks.com) will be setting up shop this spring in MA. Also in MA is Jon Ryder (www.kingsburyarms.com). Our own Acer Saccharum (www.tcurran.com) is not far away in upstate NY. There is also Mitch Yates (www.mitchyatesgunmaker) in NY. I am in Vermont but have a pretty big queue of work to wade through before taking on new work.

Followup on Lowell Haarer: He was the featured artist in the July/August issue of Muzzleloader magazine. If you don't subscribe to it you should. Bet you know someone who does.

Used guns work for me too. Thanks for the info !

I'm glad I wasn't the one to ask. ;)
What ever it is I'll build it for ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. I seem to be stuck on that price for every thing today. ???

He is trying to write in a New England accent.

Iam from NH......that’s how we talk up here. I can’t figure out how to put that in my profile...lol
-
Wouldn't Flintah refer to the one pulling the trigger on a flintlock rifle? ;) We call them guns here in Iowa, unless you're a mountain man, then they're called smoke poles. But we don't have many mountain men because we're a little short on mountains. ;D

In the Northeast lingo you eat Lobstah (Lobster) and you shoot a Flintah (Flinter). Geez get with the lingo boys.....LOL 8)

Hi,
If a bunch of you want to write posts with lots of "you alls", "fellers", and "I seen"s, we New Englanders can write "flintah", "eh", "eyup", "baahn", "lobstaa" and use phrases like "quickah than green caahn thru the new maid" or "smoothah than a pane of glass and shahpa than a broken shahd".

Uffda don,t forget the Norski,s yah ubetcha yaknow. ;D :)

Ya sure Smylee, that's a hoot! Makes me think of those jello salads with the little marshmallows along with the lutefisk. Lutefisk is best with a lot of butter.

My ancient spinster auntie still makes those jello salads with the marshmallows.... ;)
-
I thought maybe it was a gun builders name--like an Rupp

My daughter graduated from Ohio State. Are you sure that professor really didn't speak that way?
-
My Dad speaks of Lutfisk and how they made it. You take some dried fish soak it and nail it on a board. After a couple days you throw away the fish and eat the board.
-
;D That might be right Ken but you still need a lot of butter. ;D Actually if the stuff is fairly fresh and you plug your nose and use the copious amounts of butter it tastes OK, er buttery,

"My daughter graduated from Ohio State. Are you sure that professor really didn't speak that way?"
That would be "THE" Ohio State University, vs. "Thuh" Ohio University. .....(ducks and runs) ::).
My Granddaughter is an OSU/ATI grad , in 'Cow punchin'" ;)
Cheers,

Here in NH and Massachusetts...we don’t pronounce our “R’s” . It’s Wintah....I have a Fevah...My cah needs a new stahtah. Keep yah Powdah Dry.
-
While working for a company whose main office was located in CT, I always found it funny that those folks poked fun at my "hillbilly accent" being I'm from eastern KY! That missing R from all their words made for some interesting conversations!

Heck....it’s even on my license plate....can anyone guess what it says ?

Muscle Car

Reminds me of the crows in New England have trouble getting hit by trucks when they are dining on road kill. When a car comes along, the Sentry crow calls Cawh, Cawh, Cawh, the crows fly up and the car goes by. Trouble is none of the New England crows can say
TRUCK!
