E.Kettenburg Northhampton Co. Buck & Ball T/Guard ?
« on: June 14, 2010, 03:10:12 PM »
Anyone know what guard he used on that rifle. Can't see it real good & am not getting a response via email.   Am building a Lehigh smoothie & an trying to decide on a guard for it.

Also would like to know what one  Allen Martin  used on has 3 rifles on the Lehigh page.  His contact part on his site is not working.

Just trying to come up with something for this rifle, can't seem to make up my mind of what is fitting.......

Thanks

Don't know if this will help.  I compared Dave Keck's TG to a Stoephl Long on Saturday and it was almost exact.

Allen Martin has cast his own guards.  He had some extras for sale a while back.  They are robust sand castings, really cool, but you'll need to take some bark off.

I received an e-mail from him a few weeks back. He still lives, but that's about all I know. T

He may have switched from those good German beers to Amethyst. I always loose my grasp on time/space reality when I do that. ;)

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I don't know which gun you're talking about, but I can imagine that he made the guard himself.

I  got in touch with Allen & he is going to mail me a t/guard & buttplate tomorrow.
