Post by: donal_h on February 20, 2021, 07:02:24 PM: Smart dog, I love the checkering on your previous favorite. Actually, let me amend that, I love everything about that rifle.
Title: Re: Lets see your rifles!
Post by: smart dog on February 21, 2021, 03:34:35 PM: Hi Donal,
Thanks. I really like that rifle too and the bonus is the barrel has a slight choke or taper to the bore. I did not realize that until I put ball and patch down it. I bought it from Chris Laubach and I don't know if he ordered the taper or what? It is just a Colerain D weight Griffin rifled barrel. I've never knowingly owned a rifled barrel with a tapered bore and I've never owned a barrel for which developing a good load was easier. It is the most forgiving barrel I've ever used and it is very accurate. I use a 0.595 ball with 0.018" patches, which loads nice and easy and with 85 grains of powder will shoot 1.5" groups at 50 yards. However, powder charges ranging as low as 75 grains and as high as 95 made no difference at that range so I selected 85 because it was right in the middle. The lock is one I built up from TRS parts. It is a copy of a lock by John Twigg. I am not sure it is a particularly fast lock but it always ignites the primer. I've shot the rifle quite a bit now and have not had a single misfire or hang fire even with very worn flints and fouling build up. On our last wood walk in 2020, I shot the head off a bowling pin at 120 yards with it. I really like the rifle a lot.

I found the chair in a trash pile. A friend of mine did the bottom. The 48” barrel I bought from a tailgate vendor for $12 on the side of the road. It was a 1970’s built barrel that had never had a touch hole drilled. I saw the rifling machine it was cut on recently. It was made by Boyd Henry in Buchannon, WV. I was going to shorten it but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I decided I’d wait till it was worked out and needed re-breached or re-cut at muzzle and shorten it then.

Post by: Marcruger on February 28, 2021, 04:18:39 PM: David Rase, that is a fine looking gun you made. Looks like it'd be an enjoyable shooter.

BTW, I saw the quote from Charlie Daniels in your signature. Charlie grew up about a mile from where I grew up. He was older than me, and later moved across the river, but we were all mighty proud of him. Sad we lost him recently.

God Bless, Marc

The triggers are from a Davis kit ( I now make my own set triggers). She was built from a blank, and has a scraped and burnished finish on the wood. All other metal parts are hand made by myself, except for screws, bolts, and the vent liner. Both the trigger guard and butt plate are made from two pieces of soft iron; rivited, then forge-brazed with copper. She's light, slim, and a joy to shoot. She has also put deer meat in the freezer.

Post by: bones92 on August 18, 2021, 12:18:52 AM: I've been using my Cornell Kemper .45 as my "go to" rifle for accurate shooting, but I think I may drag out my Mike Brooks NC-inspired rifle to the NC State Muzzleloader shoot this September. The trigger is so light once set, I really only have to think about firing to set it off.

While not as many as I would like they're still more than I'll ever need. I no longer hunt so they don't get the exercise they used to; but it just feels good to have them around.
