Title: The "Buzzard"
Post by: B.Barker on October 20, 2021, 03:17:08 AM: I finally finished it up this week. I didn't get any finished photo's before Wayne picked it up today. Maybe we can talk him into posting more photo's of it when he gets back home. It may be at the fall frolic this weekend I don't know.

This gun will be at the Fall Frolic show this weekend. I’m anxious to get it zeroed in. Might have to introduce it to one of those Stoner Creek whitetails. Excellent job Brian!!

Title: Re: The "Buzzard"
Post by: B.Barker on October 25, 2021, 05:00:21 AM: Thanks everyone for the kind comments. This rifle was more of a challenge than I first thought. Getting the butt stock right with the butt plate and the side plate was a bit of a pain to get right. Here is the toe plate with a silver end on the patch box latch push rod. This rifle had fourteen pieces of silver mounted on it.

Post by: Gary Tucker on November 02, 2021, 12:28:26 AM: That’s a great looking rifle. Really love the silver cap on the patchbox release. One cool bird!
