Post by: Austin on April 09, 2023, 05:54:28 PM

Freddy Harrison wood, same tree. One piece became a David Price swivel done by Wayne Estes, the other piece went to Mike Brooks.

That swivel breech is pretty cool, but I sure prefer the colour of the Brooks rifle. This of course, is just  a matter of taste.
Both rifles are super.

Would never guess they were from the same tree. Shows how much you can do with different techniques. But both are indeed beautiful.
